Feel this so hard. I do the exact same thing where I scroll for an hour, add like 5 things to my list, and then just put on Parks and Rec for the 20th time because at least I know it's good. My trick lately is to just pick the first thing that looks even kind of interesting and force myself to watch one episode, no research, no reviews. Half the time I bail but sometimes I find something new I actually like. The other half of the time? Straight back to reruns, so honestly not sure it's working.

Rob's advice was about the visa, not about staying put, so blaming the 6 month stamp for blowing your 5 country plan seems off. I did the same visa in 2019 and still hit Vietnam and Laos because I booked the bus tickets before I got too comfy. Moving when a place feels easy is the whole point, easy is exactly when you stop noticing things.
