Emphasis on the some, as I know all too well the old tale of no one not enjoying [subject] more than fans of [subject]. Also to be really clear, this isn’t intended as a dig at those that don’t become jaded, so much as genuine curiosity.

I’ve had the misfortune of really enjoying some genre stories only to find it harder to maintain interest in others I come across due to overfamiliarity making what might otherwise be interesting twists or turns feel a little…Predictable. It’s a bummer that even taking breaks from some genres doesn’t seem to assuage.

    Life is too short to read/watch/play stuff you’re not enjoying. If you’re not having fun, if it’s hard to watch, don’t.

    And it’s okay to be like “small doses” too. I can only stand Farscape and dr who in small blocks; they’re amazing shows, but the comedy is a bit grating.
