Welcome to The TV-holics, which is basically your television encyclopedia run by two television addicts. Actually, “addicts” is an understatement. I mean, we don’t even try to get over the addiction like Sherlock uses his nicotine patches instead of smoking.
It’s just as many episodes as we can, everyday. We depend on it. You can call it a life necessity. Actually, call it a life necessity.
Being a TV-holic myself, I’ve put together some symptoms and stages of TV-holicism. If you’re exhibiting any of these symptoms, I suggest help yourself when you still can, for once you get neck deep into it, there’s no way out. At least, no way we’ve found yet- but who says we’re even looking?
1. The beginning stages: If you’re still in the beginning stages, there is still hope for you. You probably just started watching Netflix, or as I like to call it: “mass TV”. You start watching episodes on your computer or Netflix instead of occasionally watching whatever’s playing on TV. For me, this show was Doctor Who- and let me tell you, if your starting show is one with a huge fan base, one that has more than 4 seasons, or a Superwholock show, then you’re in big trouble my dear. I suggest not expanding your territories and just sticking to that show. Unless, of course you think you can take a little more…
2. The minor addiction: Okay, so this is when you start living and breathing that one show. You watch a couple episodes a day, or even more. Finishing seasons in a couple weeks, you download every app and follow every Tumblr blog related to this show. At this point, you can still be saved. So think before you proceed into deeper stages.
3. The clown stage: Why am I calling this stage the clown stage? Because by this point, you should be juggling around a couple of shows. By this time it’s hard to pull you out. This, son, is a three patch problem.
So. That’s it for this one. Don’t fret dearies, I’ll be back.

4. The “too many feels” stage: By this time, just forget any chance of getting out of this. You’ll be overwhelmed by feels of every show you watch. You’ll cry for the Doctor, cry for Dean, cry for Sherlock. You’re emotions will be so unstable you can’t even imagine.
5. The deep involvement: I’m going to let gifs tell this story.
When someone tries talking to you when you’re watching a show:
When someone decides to talk to you anyway:
When someone asks you to do something when you’re watching your show:
This stage is the one where regret might kick in. You wish you didn’t start that show, but you’re still glad you did at the same time.
6. Life? What’s a life? By this point, you probably threw away what was left of your social life.
Just forget about people, at least you have trees.
This is the stage most TV-holics are in, and from here there’s no going back. You don’t know what it is about those shows, they’re just so freaking amazing.
