I finally decided to watch the first season of 'The Bear' after hearing about it for a year, and what I thought would be a quick weekend watch turned into a two-day, can't-stop, full-series binge.

Has anyone else had a show completely derail their plans like that?

Honestly, it's not even the good shows that do this to me. It's the mid ones with a weird hook. Last week I put on some random crime drama just for background noise while I cleaned. Tbh the plot was full of holes but the main character had this strange tic, like he'd always fix his tie before lying. Ended up on the couch for six hours straight trying to spot the next lie, my whole Sunday gone.

That tie thing is actually a real interrogation technique called a "tell." Cops look for those tiny repeated movements that signal stress. So your bad show accidentally taught you something useful, lol.
