My wife said my show picks were too 'samey' and it made me try something new
She pointed out that for a whole year, I only picked crime dramas and sci-fi, like 'The Expanse' and 'True Detective'. So last month, I finally watched 'The Bear' on Hulu, which is totally not my usual thing. I ended up loving it and binged both seasons in a week. Has anyone else had a push from someone that got them into a whole new type of show?

Oh man, that's the best kind of push. My partner did the same thing, calling my watchlist a "sad parade of sad people in raincoats solving murders." He made me watch a baking competition show, and now I'm weirdly invested in whether someone's souffle will collapse.

Honestly, "samey" just means you know what you like! My husband tried to get me into cooking shows and I just went back to my sci-fi.

Used to think sticking with one type of show meant you were missing out. Then I got hooked on those true crime documentaries and realized, like @amy692 said, it's just about comfort and knowing what you enjoy. Now I watch them all the time, even the poorly made ones. My husband just shakes his head and puts his headphones on.
