    I’m one of those people that don’t like it when people recommend stuff. I guess generally if you send me a clip and it’s my kinda jam then that’s cool.

    Most of the time I like watching old stuff. I feel like I don’t need to pay attention as much and can just relax.

    This is inaccurate, The Wire isn’t on Netflix.

    It is by far the best police/crime show ever made. No one wants to watch it though, maybe because once your eyes are open to the way that Baltimore works is the same way every city works and you can’t close your eyes to it in real life.

      Don’t get me started on that! My wife is the same. I recommend a show, multiple times. Nope, not interested. But as soon as one of her girlfriends even mentions it that she should check it out “Okay, we should start watching that show!” THAT’S WHAT I RECOMMENDED FOR YEARS NOW!

    I go through the messages and pictures shared to me rather quickly - and comment if I have something to say.

    Music and videos is another matter.
    I usually am not in the mood or in a convenient place to go through them when they are presented to me, and I quickly forget them afterwards.

    Movies and series recommendations are even more difficult for me to handle 😂

    I’m fine if you skip something I recommend, because of what I experience.

      I find the best way is to have an ongoing list of recommendations that people make. I just write whatever the suggestion was down real quick on my phone, then every now and again I’ll look them all up to see if there’s anything I think I’ll enjoy.
