Having variety of series and movies at just one touch is indeed tempting as well as convenient. We don’t really have to leave our house, dress up decently, and bother to go outside just to watch something. With all its conveniences, I realized that to me, there’s huge striking difference between when I watch a movie at the cinema vs subscribing to streaming services. One difference is that, I get to spend 2 hours just focusing on the movie and once I step out of it, I would feel entertained. After all, many of us categorized movies as entertainment, something that sparks joy and help us feel better. In my case, when I have these streaming service such as Netflix, I realized I no longer feel joy after watching something.

During the weekend, these days I watch over 10 titles ranging from an hour to two hours films. As my suggestion list grew, so was my watching time. As you know, I also reviewed them here but they were only tiny part of what I’ve been watching and while trying to find something to say, I often just have no words to review the film.

Today alone, I finished Once Upon A Star, Ashin Kingdom of The North, Hunger, and series about Street Food in Asia, as well as ZOM 100: Bucket List of The Dead live action.But when I was about to review them, I was just lost for words except Once Upon A star, the film from Thailand was really interesting and inspiring. I think that one would be a huge hit after Hunger and can get international recognition. It is also recently released on Netflix and I even set a notification for that because I wanted to watch it as the trailer was promising. But again, beyond that, everything that I watch from that movie was simply scribbles.

Now, I am re-thinking to take a break from my subscriptions, to reset everything while also catching up to the titles that I have yet to review. They pile up and once I managed reviewing everything I’ve watched thus far and getting them out, I’d re-think about subscribing again. And again, sometimes when you just have too much of everything, it becomes less enjoyable.
