I’m aging myself here, but kind of like the old “I’ve fallen and I can’t get up” joke, we drama fans have our own: I hate it but I can’t stop watching.
As a staff writer, of course, hate-watching is a little more complicated. For us, if we’re covering the show, it’s out of duty, solidarity, and sheer cold-blooded determination that we soldier through something we’re not enjoying. But hate-watching is a little different when you’re watching solely of your own initiative.
And so, this thread exists for Beanies near and far to talk about the science of hate-watching.
What are your thoughts on hate-watching? Do you do it? If so, why do you do it? Share below!
