Watching a drama solely for the fun factor is an entirely different experience than watching a drama for the wonderful characters and writing, or for the stellar cast, or a PD whose work you love.
But shouldn’t all drama-watching be fun, you ask? Yes, it should — but this kind of fun is different. When we’re watching *purely* for the fun factor, the inner critic gets to go take a nap in the back while we just enjoy the ride. Plot holes, plot armor, shoddy editing? No problem. I’m having fun. Nothing can unglue me from this story right now.
Currently, for me that drama is My Happy Ending — too fast, too furious, too all over the place… and totally too much fun to watch.
