It’s not the same to see something by choice than by obligation, but there’s nothing for it but warming up the couch to be aware of what’s being cooked
Daily life as a professional audiovisual critic was complicated by having to write about series as well, in response to the growing demand. The hours in front of the screen are multiplied. It’s not enough to watch a 90-minute movie or more, depending on the time, and zap between channels for a while to see what’s happening on television.
You also have to burn your retinas devouring several chapters of a session at once, between six and ten episodes per season, to be able to give a decent verdict on “the best series of the year” (there’s always one) . It’s not a stone’s throw away, of course, but putting a series of episodes into your body over the counter from breakfast can get on your nerves, especially if it’s a proposition you don’t really want. It’s not the same to see something by choice than by obligation, but there’s nothing for it but to warm up the couch to be aware of what is being cooked.
Fortunately, we return with the series that we return to every week. Launching the entire season in one fell swoop loses steam, but the volume of weekly releases is huge, with more and more platforms on the market. If there’s one good thing about old-fashioned cultural criticism, it’s that it owes no one anything, contrary to popular belief.
Nobody sends hams to homes and newsrooms. There is no obligation to throw everything through the roof, a problem faced by some influencers who make their living sucking up multinational corporations. His curse is that he is unable to bite the hand that feeds him and continues to smile in the face of a catastrophe. These lines serve to stop the ‘romanticization’ of the trade. As with any job, sometimes you suffer.
