I’m not a fan of scary movies or shows, but murder mysteries are fine with me. I can’t remember the last horror film I watched (if I ever did) and I certainly don’t ever plan on seeing one. I don’t see the appeal in spooking yourself and I’m great at scaring myself as it is. So, instead I stick to shows like NCIS or Lie to Me, where though there is danger and death, there isn’t anything too sinister.
And now happily, I have chosen to pick up Medium to add to my repertoire of shows. Initially I was afraid it would be too dark, but after previewing an episode, it seems there aren’t any terribly traumatizing scenes. With six seasons, there are plenty of shows to keep me occupied when I just want to sit back at night and not have to think too hard. Oh the wonder of television entertainment… 🙂
I ban all things scary from my life and I think the world would do better to do so too. Why add that stress and worry to your life? You can get thrills from plenty of other things. But hey, to each his own.
