Chapter 18 — Entertainment & Gaming
How do I decide what to watch tonight?
Set a 5-minute limit for browsing. Rotate: one prestige drama night, one comedy, one movie, one comfort rewatch. Keep a running 'saved' list and pick from it instead of scrolling the home screen.
Follow-up questions
How do I find good hidden shows?
Follow one or two critic newsletters (Vulture, The Ringer, IndieWire) rather than algorithm suggestions.
Is IMDb or Rotten Tomatoes more reliable?
IMDb for user consensus and cast/crew info; Rotten Tomatoes critic score for professional reviews; Metacritic for a weighted average.
What if I hate the first episode?
For most shows, give it three episodes. Prestige dramas often set up slow. Comedies you can drop after one.
How do I stop rewatching the same thing?
Rewatches are fine — they're low-effort comfort. Alternate them with one new episode of something unfamiliar per session.
