I've been binge watching a show lately. It's the perfect complement to the busy, end of the school year as the show offers relaxation at the end of very busy days.
Yet, as I watched the show, a show that other family members don't enjoy as much as me, I wondered why I like this show so much. I thought about this more, and I realized that what we watch tells a lot about who we are and what we may want.
Why I like this show?
Setting
The setting is a place where I'd like to live--it has the ingredients of what makes good living for me including beautiful natural places, accessible healthy recreation, quality shops and comfortable living spaces. I want to live in a place like that.
Clothing
I'm drawn to nice clothing, the kind that is comfortable, colorful, and pleasing to the eye. In this show, the clothes the actors wear are appealing.
Problems
In this multi-generational show, the problems are small and varied, not unlike the problems people face day in and day out. It's not stressful, but informative to look at the way many people deal with the relatively small problems of life.
Recreation
I like what these people do for fun--they dance, share meals, play games, and have parties. It's not complex, but easy and enjoyable.
Conversation
They talk a lot about what people think of the day-to-day events from many perspectives. Again this is simple fare, but interesting to watch and listen to.
As one who values family, wills to be a helpful and supportive family member, colleague, and friend, and wants to live a simple life in a beautiful place with good people, this show offers comfort and pleasure.
