Showerthought: The Office is actually overrated for binge watching...

I tried to binge The Office for the first time last month and gave up after 3 seasons. Everyone raves about it but I found the cringe humor just got old fast, especially Michael Scott's character. I ended up switching to The Good Place and finished that whole series in two weeks. Anyone else find an overhyped show just doesn't hit right when you try to marathon it?

Tried the same thing with Breaking Bad and felt like a total fraud when I couldn't get past season two. Everyone says it's the greatest show ever but I just kept thinking about how I'd probably be dead after the first episode. Guess some shows are better enjoyed one week at a time instead of cramming them down like a bad burrito.

Makes you realize how much of life is built around pacing, not the thing itself.
