TV shows are quite addictive, even though they require massive investment in time and energy. And that’s why feelings play an important role here. When you get hooked on a show, the following feelings jump out at one point or the other.

The restiveness that comes with waiting for a new episode every week 

The days are slow when the only thing you’re looking forward to is a new episode of your favourite show.

The momentary panic you feel when you realise how much data you’re burning

Your TV addiction is what the internet providers live for.

The irritation that wells up inside you when you see a spoiler

Another reminder that humans re trash.

The heartbreak when the writers kill off a beloved character

Why do the good ones die?

The frustration when a season ends with a cliffhanger

Just say that you want to kill me.

The despair when you realise you have to wait months before a new season

And you thought waiting for a week was the toughest thing that could possibly happen.

The anger when a network cancels a show

You people are the devil.
