Same!!
My theory is that is has to do with the pace.
With a movie, it's a slow burn. There's usually some plot establishment in the beginning that goes slow, then a bunch of filler in between moments that actually further the plot.
With a show, your runtime is maybe an hour, but generally 30-45 minutes. Most shows each episode has sort of a main story and a B-storyline, and both wrap up nicely at the end of the episode. There's less filler because there's less time, so you feel like you've completed something without dragging it out for 2 hours.
And because you didn't have to spend 2 hours forcing your brain to pay attention and make all those connections, it's not burnt out, and it wants more instead.
I think that pretty much nails it, at least as far as my experience. Thanks for articulating what I couldn't.
Apparently lemmy.world is overloaded and I'm not getting most of the replies federated back to my instance. Had to go to this post on
.worldto even see anyone had replied, grab the comment link, search it, and then reply. :sigh: Hopefully the admins upgrade to the 0.18.x soon as that should fix this.i'm using the memmy app and it's been awesome! maybe see if you can find a testflight link for that? mlem is good too but less polished
