I think fast paced shows are overrated and I finally found out why I could never keep up
Everyone keeps saying you have to watch the hot new shows at 1x speed or you are not a real fan, and I just don't buy it. I tried for weeks to get through a 10 episode thriller on Netflix and kept falling asleep by episode 3 every single time. So I started watching at 1.25x speed with the captions on, and suddenly I finished the whole season in two nights. The dialog still sounded normal to me and I caught more details because I was not drifting off. My sister in Phoenix told me that is cheating, but I honestly think fast shows just pad out scenes to fill time. Does anyone else speed up shows or am I really the odd one here?
