Do you watch the film/drama serial from the start to the end?

I definitely watch all of it. Like, you, if I just don't dig it, I'll stop watching, but if I'm into it, I need to watch every episode. You talk mostly about drama here, but sitcoms and comedies, more and more these days, are becoming a bit more serialized as well. Like "Arrested Development," for instance, really did a great job of calling back jokes from previous episodes or setting things up now for payoffs down the road. So if you missed one or two episodes here or there, you wouldn't understand the jokes later on. I wouldn't be able to choose to not watch the last episode. I understand what you mean, how that would be admitting it was over. However, if I just stopped watching, it'd still be just as over, but I wouldn't have the satisfaction of the conclusion. There are so many amazing series finales that I would have missed, like "Angel," "Mary Tyler Moore," "Bob Newhart," etc. In fact, when I was a kid, I was punished and so was not able to watch the "Married... With Children" finale, and to this day, I feel very upset that I don't know how it all ended.

hi there warvial, Well usually i do finish it from start to end. But this is only because I only watch movies that im interested on. I could automatically see if i would like the movie or not and when i dont i automatically stop watching it. As for the tv show series. its really hard to keep track of it especially when they air it on times that you're usually not at home. so what i do during those times is that if i really like that show that much i buy a complete season of that show good thing there ar stuffs like that now a days. But most of the time if it was just a tv show i would just continue watching it though i already miss some of the episodes.

.....Hi there warvial, I love movies, I go to the movies less now than I used to. But when I would attend the movies I would watch once for entertainment and once for analysis. Because I found that there was always something that I missed watching the movie the first time. I did this for my pleasure so I would go by myself. At home when I watch movies, series I have a hard time with as I have a short attention span and I get bored, I am creative and we are strange people "o). But when I watch movies, I have a tendency to watch part of the movie then turn somewhere else start to watch that and maybe not get back to see the end of the movie. I did that several times with Scent of a Woman with Al Pacino. This year I finally watched the movie all the way through, it was a very good movie I thought. But that is how I watch movies. The Bourne adventure movie is another one that I have yet to watch all the way through. Just a strange bird I am, but it's my style. "o) So glad someone invented movie making. Take good care.

hi warvial Yes, when I watch a film or it might be a romance drama, I would watch it from the first time until the movie is end... I think we can enjoy the movie if we wath it till the end so we know how it first and how it ends.

As you mentioned, i watch the films from the beginning to end. But regarding the drama/serieals i hate to watch them. It is boring. Because they drag a small incident for days in their serials in our cuontrys local tv channels.Not only that,they put lot of adds.In a half an hour serial there will be adds consuming about 15 minutes. If your watching a tv serial means your wasting time without knowing the end. Some days you may miss the event.

Yes, I do like to watch drama movies. But as for thrilogy movies, or films that have more than two or three following parts, I have to admit that it bores me a little bit! last week I wanted to watch a movie that has three following parts, I really do like this movie and a some time ago I watched all three parts. But as to up-to-date information, I found out that I do not really have a time to watch all three parts, so I stopped somewhere in the middle of the second movie from it's thrilogy. I really do not want to call it a bad habit, it is more like a time consuming process, and today I found out that I do not have so much leisure time to dedicate to my favorite films!

yes ofcourse.. if i can't get to the ending why watch the beginning.. but sometimes if i find the film/drama boring i'll stop to watch it rather than be bored and waste electricity..

Just like you, I also watched and finished a certain sequels or prequels of a movie when I do love it. I stopped watching Harry Potter since I really don't like this franchise. But when I like the movies I tend to collect it. The Godfather, The Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Batman, are only few of my favorite series film.
