Had to choose between finishing The Leftovers or starting Severance last night

I only had a few hours free before bed, so I had to pick one. My friend swore I'd love The Leftovers, but the Severance hype was everywhere. I went with Severance and accidentally watched 4 episodes straight. Now I'm ruined for work meetings today and my friend is mad I ignored her rec. Has anyone else gotten totally sucked into a show when you were supposed to be asleep?

You ever notice how the best stuff always finds you when you're supposed to be doing something else? In my experience, a lot of our favorite shows or hobbies sneak in during stolen time, like that's when the magic actually happens. Your friend will get over it eventually, and at least you found a show that grabbed you.

Used to think that procrastination was just wasted time, something to feel guilty about. But your post makes a lot of sense, those moments of "stolen time" really do seem to spark something different. Maybe the pressure of having to get back to something else is what makes the good stuff stand out more.
