Scientists say there’s no limit to the number of narratives, televised or otherwise, that the human mind can keep straight, and that our predilection for stories probably evolved as a way to adapt to real-life situations and anticipate similar events.
The same article noted that last year television and other platforms hosted 371 original scripted series. Sometimes I feel I am trying to keep up with all of them to write this blog, but in fact I know I am hitting very few of them. As a result, I have a long backlist of television series I hope to see someday.
I am no more bothered by too many television series than I am by libraries (including my own) filled with too many books for me to read in a lifetime. Life is about picking and choosing. I try to watch the best of the bunch, but the media will always outpace me.
But do not worry, I will share what I learn with the readers of this blog even if I am not a committed fan to each and every one of them. And with that in mind, stay tuned this week because we again have a pile of new television series to ponder.
