For many of us, the protagonists of our favorite series are like good friends. What would they say about us if they could?
In the past, many of us would sit in front of the TV at a specific time each week. Phones off, everyone knew: our favorite series is on, please do not disturb! For some, this might still be the case today, while others binge-watch their favorite shows on Netflix, Amazon Prime, and the like. The type of series you watch most frequently actually reveals a lot about your personality.
What Your Favorite Shows Say About You
“The Bachelor”
Do you prefer reality shows like “Love Island,” “The Bachelor,” “Germany’s Next Topmodel,” or “Keeping Up with the Kardashians”? For you, a good series needs one thing above all: drama! When characters fight over seemingly trivial matters, you can best escape everyday stress. Trash TV fans are friendly, open, and extroverted. You rarely miss a good party. And if you need something to defend your guilty pleasure: a study has shown that reality TV connoisseurs are above average in intelligence. You knew it!
“Stranger Things”
Is your streaming service start screen filled with fantasy shows like “Stranger Things,” “Game of Thrones,” “The Walking Dead,” or “True Blood”? You simply love to immerse yourself in a different world while watching TV. You are more introverted and prefer experiencing great adventures on your sofa rather than in the real world. You are also very creative and possibly even artistically inclined.
“House of Cards”
Do you love a really good thriller with one plot twist after another? “House of Cards” is one of your favorite series, but also “Peaky Blinders,” “Breaking Bad,” or the current hype from South Korea, “Squid Game.” The plot of your favorite series must really captivate you, and you don’t mind if things get a bit tough. You are probably an analytical type and therefore love the complexity of these shows. You are particularly interested in politics and have no problem being the center of attention.
“The Big Bang Theory”
You are a lovable nerd – just like the protagonists of your favorite series such as “The Big Bang Theory,” “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt,” “The IT Crowd,” or “Community.” You have likely often found yourself in an outsider position in life. You are rather shy and reserved. But that doesn’t mean you lack humor – quite the opposite. Unfortunately, not everyone understands it. In the right company, you can really flourish!
“Sex and the City”
You want to identify with the characters in your TV shows – and you do this best with female-empowerment series like “Sex and the City,” which focus on complex female friendships and career themes. You also like “The Bold Type,” “Girls,” or “Orange Is the New Black.” Your job plays a significant role in your life, just like your friends. You are also very compassionate and particularly interested in interpersonal themes and relationships.
“How to Get Away with Murder”
You really get involved with crime dramas, and “How to Get Away with Murder,” “True Detective,” “Criminal Minds,” or the classic “CSI” are your favorites. You have a very keen sense of observation and are very curious. You especially enjoy studying human nature’s dark sides – which might sometimes make you a bit neurotic.
“Gilmore Girls”
Your TV mostly features feel-good shows like “Gilmore Girls,” “Chesapeake Shores,” “Modern Family,” or “New Girl.” You need the idyllic world feeling to balance out the stress of everyday life. Another petty drama between two characters that is guaranteed to be resolved by the end of the episode – and otherwise, everyone loves each other? If that’s your favorite scenario, you are more introverted and have a romantic inclination. You need a lot of time alone (preferably in Stars Hollow) to be ready for the outside world again.
