DosageOne (1) 90-minute commitment to a show patient has never watched before, with the rewatch paused for the duration
FrequencyWeekly minimum
DurationUntil 'too much commitment' is no longer the primary objection to new content
RefillsUnlimited — the rewatch will, apparently, still be there
Side effects May include the specific discomfort of not knowing the next line, the phantom urge to quit at minute 40 and go back to the sitcom, and — critically — the observation that the same nine-season show on its fifth rewatch has, apparently, been the room for long enough.
