10 Things… Only People Who Watch Box Sets Will Understand

From The Sopranos to The Walking Dead, box sets have become THE thing to watch. Sure people have always watched television shows but now we tend to watch full series in one go or dedicate full weekends to them. With that in mind, here are 10 things that people who watch box sets will understand...

1. One is never enough In fact two isn't even enough. When you get hooked to a new show it's usually the all-consuming, cancelling plans kind of hooked. 2. Spoilers are evil PEOPLE PLEASE HAVE SOME CONSIDERATION FOR THOSE WHO ARE NOT UP-TO-DATE! That is all. 3. It's perfectly normal to yell at/cry over fictional characters In the box set addict's mind, the characters are real. 4. Sleep isn't all that necessary Neither is eating actual food or movement. 5. It's acceptable to ignore a call from your mam when you're watching an episode Sorry mam but pausing just isn't an option. 6. It is possible to create a groove in the sofa Homer Simpson-style (Hangs head in shame.) 7. Hypothetical questions such as "what would you do in a zombie apocalypse?" are very important ... and you will debate them for hours on end on numerous occasions. 8. The conversation that goes: "You know when that person did that thing... and then she said that... and OMG what about..." Anybody else listening wouldn't have a clue what's going on. 9. The ending will never be perfect The writers could spend months, even years, planning the best possible ending to their show and it will never live up to expectation. 10. The mourning period when the final credits roll Nothing will ever fill this emptiness and no show will ever sounds as good as what came before... until you get into the new boxset of course.
