How do people watch TV together anymore?

Therapy

Forget about Interests...

Almost every content has little bit of adult scenes or language.

That's another thing, even middle aged people like me who are pretty liberal and open-minded is finding some of the Bollywood overtures very close to soft porn category. Besharam Rang visuals definitely made me uncomfortable without hurting my religious sensibilities even in the least. But the suggestiveness in the video was more titillating than if DP straight up wore bikini. Same feelings in her previous film as well, the name of which I cannot recall right now. 

Felt d same abt that song...
She could have been better off with a bikini rather...

Quite disappointing n disgusting to watch srk n deepika...

Significant other. Saying it that way hides my own gender, sexual orientation and marital status and it's an accepted way of saying it in the US and other countries. 

So i can be a homosexual female living in with my partner or a straight male married for 8 years, saying significant other instead of wife, husband, spouse etc covers the entire spectrum. 

And ideally, instead of using "she" pronoun for my partner, i should have used "they" and it will be the most politically right way to write the opening comment. 

Sometimes she watches what I watch without much interest and sometimes I do the same. Overtime she got interest in my likings and I get to make funny comments during her shows.

It’s the silent pact when we got married to stay together even during torturous times 🤪

Try it occasionally to take more interest in her rubbish shows and make some genius comments, you will see the table turning around. Life will be more fun.

I want to make throw up face to this comment. Watching different things make both of us happy. If we would need therapy in the future, it will be for something else, not because of we like to watch different contents!

Are you on Windows?

We tried a long time back. 

She literally watches a show named "Dust particle" (translated) on Hotstar. It's running for 5-6 years if not longer. In these shows, a guy is married to at least 3 to 4 different women without any divorce besides having side chicks and affairs. When some of the actors get a better offer in films or get bored and leave, they suddenly die offscreen in the series or goes missing or get into an accident that requires plastic surgery and full healing happens within a few episodes and the face voice height mannerism of the actor changes completely. And she watches 4-5 of these awful series. Never daily though. She lets 8-10 episodes pile up first for each series. Then she binges through the piled up episodes in one go skipping through parts, jumping ahead and back, dragging the progress bar back and forth etc. 

One of the other shows she watches in Sony LIV which is the Season 2 of some show that ran for 25 years or so and then got over when the actors got so old and fat in real life that no one wanted to watch them anymore. They resurrected the show with Rahul Vaidya's wife and hyped it like anything during IPL and was launched around that time. 

The shows she watches are completely unwatchable and she really doesn't want me to watch those with her either. I make snarky comments which she detests. 

We tried watching things together and moved on a long time back. Now we watch things we like and then recommend things to each other which we believe the other person may enjoy. 

Wait till kids, you won't get time to watch anything. 

Fer kab kr re ho?

Is this Indian show or some dubbed Chinese/Japanese/Korean drama series? Can you mention the exact name so I can see some funny comments on its imdb page

It's a regional content that has very little overlap between the audience who watches the show and people who write reviews in IMDB. And apparently this went off air last week which is making her very sad.

The writer is from Ekta Kapoor clan. What else can you expect. They even remake the more successful ones into Hindi series.

In our house, the TV is monopolised by the wife (80%) ad daughter (20%). I normally watch on realme tab or laptop connected via HDMI to a monitor (mostly for live matches). All 3 of us generally watch completely different contents, except for few movies and series.

Wiki page mention "Original Release 19 July 2021 – 11 December 2022", is this correct as your post mentioned it was running for 4-5 years.

Jyda choice hona b samasya h...only dd national hota to dono shaktiman dekhte

Recently got married. She watches whatever I like sometimes even though she doesn't enjoy it many times and I watch whatever she's watching to make snarky comments in moderation. But mostly I'm watching on the phone or pc and she's watching on the phone or tv. Mom owns the tv after she comes from work.
