I struggled a bit to follow Witcher, but it was generally entertaining. All the characters and factions can be confusing. A famous British comedian plays an evil mage in Blood Origin, so I need to get used to him as that.
I can only handle a couple of shows at any one time, so I have to pick and choose. There is just too much choice.
I think that was my problem too. I was having a hard time following but often work while watching TV. That can make following a series with a thick plot difficult. Maybe I can give it the attention it deserves this time around. I keep hearing great things about the series though which is why I want to give it a second chance. I love sci-fi and fantasy too. It's my favorite genre.
My formative years were spent in an era before cable tv. We had 7 channels on TV growing up. We had 3 local channels and because I grew up on the Canadian border we also got 3 or 4 Canadian channels but half of them were in French. That was a lot of choices back then.
My younger self would be shocked at all the content available online now. I never would have imagined having literally hundreds of choices at any given moment. Netflix alone is a treasure trove of content, add one or two more streaming services and cable tv to the mix and there's no way to even consume all that content in a lifetime even if you wanted to.
Surprisingly, I still have a hard time finding something to watch on most nights 🤣
We just had 3 channels for much of my childhood and didn't get to dozens until much later. Streaming has really changed things. We take broadband internet for granted, but I lived through times of slow dial-up. We are living in the future!
Stay tuned!
