My cousin's take on slow burn shows made me ditch the skip button
Last Saturday my cousin Mike, who lives in Portland, told me he watches every episode of a series at 1x speed without touching his phone. I laughed at first, but then I tried it with The Leftovers and caught details I missed in the first two passes. After 3 episodes, I realized I was treating shows like a checklist instead of an experience. Anyone else find that forcing yourself to sit through the quiet parts actually makes the payoff hit harder?
