How to live with a passionate serialist

It seems to us normal to rabid serionists that we have not left the house all day to see one chapter after another. We also gave up the appointments we had with friends or family because we do not want to miss the paragraph of the week. Because we don't know what's going to happen to Walter White, Desmond, Mcnulty or Tony Soprano next week. Or spend long nights to find out if our favorite series is going to bring the Emmy Prize or not.

For us it’s “natural,” but for the people who live with us – and let’s say for those who don’t see 20 series at a time (from now on we’ll call them “normal people”) – it’s weird or unusual. Legend has it that serionists and ordinary people could live together -- there are cases in the world. It's not easy, but they say yes.

I will try to put myself in the position of those who have to endure this uncontrollable hobby, and at the same time try to understand our curiosities. I am convinced that therapy will become useful. By the way, you can create a partnership: “Hello, my name is Tamara and I also live with a serialist.”

The worst day of the week, the best for us... “It’s finally come Monday.” Yes, there is a good chance of hearing this barbarism by the mouth of a serialist. Although “normal people” seem crazy, for us Monday is one of the favorite days. The information is very simple: Several U.S. television channels broadcast the most successful series on Sundays. That’s why we can see them from Monday (The Walking dead, Homeland...). On Monday, delicious and unexpected day.

“Another section and I’m going to sleep…” How many times have you heard this phrase at 2 a.m.? No matter waking up the next morning, at 8:00. We are ruthless. If we are in the middle of a marathon of true detective, see who dares to say that the TV will continue there the next day and that we can follow from where we left. We're going to see and see the parts relentlessly, as if the end of the world was about to come. And before we get to the apocalypse, the first thing we need is to know how the part will end. Solution? Accept, you just have to take the way from the bed. Or keep it awake until it revives and the next day use anti-hole cream.

The section of a series you see together, seeing it alone will be considered unfair. If you see Lost together, seeing a section on your own will lead to disaster, a gigantic, uncontrollable discussion. It didn't happen to him!

What is social life? The time spent watching series is a time that is not devoted to anything else. Working for the time being is necessary for everyone. On the other hand, there are some unavoidable tasks, such as sleeping. Therefore, that time must be “stolen” from another side: from social life. You, vulgar person, will say: “We have a great time, will we go for a walk with friends?” Our answer: “I’m watching Sons of anarchy and he’s about to close the deal with Irish Jax Teller, do you really think I want to do it?”

Follow (at least) a series we see, unless you want to stay out of the conversations. When you're with your friends, if the conversation revolves around a series and you don't follow it by chance, you'll feel extraterrestrial. “Have you seen that beautiful plane in the True Detective?” “I can’t believe Breaking Bad is over...” If you want to feel part of all these conversations, the best thing you can do is follow at least one of them. What did you talk about when everyone was talking about “the red wedding of Game Of Thrones”?
