ap·a·thet·ic
- showing or feeling no interest, enthusiasm, or concern.
Apathy
or feeling apathetic is something that plagues me far more often than
I'd care to admit both personally and professionally. But this is not
about that. This is about me experiencing this feeling regarding
shows that I once cared about but no longer do. There are certain
shows where I get straight up upset about and ones where it gets to a
certain point and I just stop caring. I'll miss episodes for weeks or
months telling myself that I'll binge watch eventually but never do.
Over
the last four or five years I've watched more TV shows than movies
when it used to be the other way around. I'm one of those people that
when I like something I fucking love it. Allow me to use the Netflix
series Luke Cage as an example. The first season had a good story,
great characters, and cool music. The second season arrived last week
and a few episodes in I could already feel my interest slipping. The
story was sloppy. The directing was inconsistent. The music was
overdone. By the time it was finished I hoped that they were not
planning on doing a third season and wished that the one I'd just
watched did not exist.
