Just hit 100 shows finished on my watchlist and it feels strange

I was cleaning up my streaming apps and saw the number on my tracker. It took me about five years to get there, starting when I first got Netflix. The weird part is I can barely remember half of them, just a blur of opening credits and cliffhangers. It makes me miss the old days of waiting a week for a new episode and really talking about it. What's a show you've watched that actually stuck with you for a long time?

a blur of opening credits" sounds like you just watched a lot of filler.

Read an article about how some shows now have super long intros. Makes skipping them a real habit.

Blame the streaming model itself. They need those open slots for ad breaks, so the intros get padded out to fill time. I noticed on some Netflix shows the theme song just keeps repeating the chorus an extra two times before the title finally drops. Feels like they're testing our patience on purpose.
