That’s Too Much of a Commitment
In the past, before streaming services, we didn’t really have a problem with watching a two-hour movie. We didn’t think twice about it. When you think about it, Netflix and other streaming services have really ruined us in this way. Maybe they aren’t to blame- people these days just seem to have a shorter attention span and can’t seem to concentrate on something for more than 20 minutes straight.
We can’t seem to commit to watching a two-hour movie. When you think about it in these terms, it seems like too much time to spend in front of the TV- we have better things to do, and we know we’d lost interest at some point. But when you break it down to short episodes, it feels different. There’s something about a TV show that hits differently than a movie!
