My sister said my watch list was just 'comfort food TV' and it made me branch out

She looked at my streaming apps last month and said, 'You only watch shows you already know you'll like, it's all just comfort food.' I realized she was right. I had re-watched 'The Office' three times and was sticking to the same few sitcoms and crime dramas. So I made a rule: for every re-watch, I have to start one new show from a genre I normally skip. First up was a sci-fi show called 'The Expanse' that I'd always scrolled past. I gave it three episodes like people say, and wow, I was hooked. The story is huge and the world feels real. Now my list has way more variety and I'm actually excited to try new things. Has anyone else had a friend push them out of their TV comfort zone? What did you end up loving?

Sounds like a lot of work for TV.

You ever see those behind the scenes clips? They'll have like five people just moving a single lamp around for an hour. Then they do the scene again because a plane flew overhead. Makes my head hurt just watching it.
