The pressure of binge-watching is greater than ever

YOU, Bodyguard, the last season of The Affair, Homeland and I also want to finish Suits, because I am slightly obsessed with Meghan (and Harvey of course). The pressure of watching has never been so great in my life. But I also promised myself to catch Jinek more often and DWDD and to read a book. You know, one of those things made of paper. And I only eat around eight and I want to go to bed around eleven (unless I'm watching Eva).

Annick is saying something about the last season of Homeland, May is whispering with Lilian about the best season ever of The Affair and with Daniëlle also briefly about the craziness of YOU, Annabelle binge-watched Luther in two days and me? I'm on a viewing lock. I can't get into any series, nothing, I'm just lazily consuming videos. I watched all the Bourne films, Die Hard 1 through A Good Day to Die Hard and J.Lo in Made in Manhattan.

But, I also don't want to be spoiled, because I will definitely see everything. That leads to quite special situations at our editorial office. What do you think when everyone else is watching everything and you are not and you don't want spoilers? Are you ready? Here we go.

1. I want to hear it. I don't want to hear it. I want to know it. No, no, no, don't say anything, I don't want to know it. Go away, everyone go away.

2. *Runs very fast to the kitchen because May says something about Noah who can't keep his penis in his pants.

3. Who has that man done it with now again? What a slut, what a slut.

4. What is Penn Badgley doing in a little porch across the street while looking at her? Okay okay, I really believe I need to watch YOU.

5. Tonight, but really. TV on, popcorn ready, blanket and binge away. Nothing is stopping me. The Affair can wait, YOU is what we are going to watch.

6. *Lies on the couch snoring very loudly at half past eight, but will never admit that she sometimes snores.

7. Avoids the questioning looks at the editorial office and runs very fast towards the coffee machine. Where they suddenly start talking about Luther again, which might be an option to ensure that the man in my house (who is quite in movie mode) watches with me.

8. Hmm, maybe not YOU for now and then Luther instead. May whispers in my ear again that season four of The Affair is the best season ever made.

9. Cog-ni-tive dissonance, maidon. For those thinking: cognitive what? Wiki explains it to you: cognitive dissonance is the unpleasant tension someone experiences with contradictory beliefs, ideas or opinions or when acting against one's own beliefs. Yes, that's the intelligent version of ‘I can't choose’.

10. I can't handle it, I can't handle it. And I still have to finish Anna Karenina. By the way, I'm only on page ten, what a struggle. I also fall asleep, but just a little less comfortably, because that cover hits my nose so hard.

11. This weekend I'm locking myself in. On Saturday I'm doing The Affair, on Sunday I'm making a flying start with YOU. But what about Luther? And the continuation of Homeland? And Suits?

12. *Turns off the TV and picks up a book. Greetings to your series.
