Does anyone else have this terrible habit of starting a new show on Netflix, watching like 3-4 episodes, and then completely forgetting it exists? My Continue Watching list looks like a graveyard of good intentions.

I occasionally do this, but its usually when I start watching something with my wife. If I watch something on my own, I finish it. I have been known to do this with video games, though.

I always like looking at the achievement rates of video games.

Most games, like 60-80% of players even reach the end of the tutorial. And somehow, if there's one for literally just starting a new game, like 95% of people will have it. I don't get that at all, lol.

Honestly, that's how people should be using streaming and subscription services. Trying something out, getting your entertainment, and then bouncing when its not as entertaining anymore so you can try something new is a much better use of your monthly fee than trying to find a few things to force yourself to finish. You don't owe any of these shows your time, so don't feel bad if you drop them at a moment's notice. Plus you'll find new favorites much more quickly.

I do this more on Hulu
There's a lot of weird stuff that I forget about and their UI is worse for picking back up shows that you were watching in the past
I don't believe in belts. There should be no ranking system for toughness.

No, but Im contemplating starting Alice in Borderland. I loved Squid Games and Baby Reindeer. I need solid recommendations tbh. Im currently hate watching/finishing NH the last season of Evil on Paramount I usually finish a show for better or worst.

Yes, but I don't consider it a bad habit. I never finished them because I lost interest. There is no benefit to finishing a show that I don't like.

Seems to be a case of a show not being very good
