It was a great year for watching things, thanks primarily to my birthing and nursing a second human. He’s such a great watch buddy. It was not only the year he was born, but also, just as crucially, the year I was SURVIVOR pilled. I watched 15 fulls seasons, lol. I’m so proud of myself.
I also realized in doing my tallies for this year’s log just how bad I am at keeping track of things I watched even when I think I’m doing a good job. I used to keep track weekly but I slipped and sorta bundled everything in by month. I was shocked by how many omissions I had once I went back and thought hard about what I’d left off. I spent all day double checking and, for example, I straight up didn’t even include SINNERS or OBBA or season 5 of SLOW HORSES on this list initially. So all of my numbers are +/- a good 10% I’d say.
It was still a fun year of watching and a fun exercise I’m excited to continue into 2026.
What’s your favorite thing you watched last year?
Hope you’re doing okay out there,
K.
Sinners was definitely an unexpected surprise for me in 2025. I saw it the Thursday of opening weekend before I heard anything about it and was BLOWN AWAY. Current watch count: 6 lol. Managed to see it twice in IMAX and three times in standard theatre going experiences. Then of course, got to watch it at home over the holidays on that physical media DVD. Thanks for sharing your lists! You’re quite the connoisseur! xo
