How do you know when you're in a rut?

I'm in a rut. I know I'm in a rut because I keep watching Star Trek: Deep Space Nine over and over again. LOL. 
My sons pay for the Netflix subscription and there are lots of movies, TV series, and documentaries to watch. But I keep watching the same thing over and over.
After working online all day, I try to watch a little entertainment before I go to bed. But I don't want my brain to work any more!
So instead of picking something new to watch and get interested in, I pick something where I don't have to read read English subtitles (because I like Korean dramas and Bollywood) and that I already know what's going to happen, so I don't have to wait and see.
I hope my son are getting some enjoyment out of Netflix. I feel like I'm wasting their money! LOL. I am definitely in a rut.

They removed the original series from the Netflix database.

Well if you enjoy the show that's fine. Maybe when you're not tired from working online you can finally watch a different show. There are plenty of things to watch on Netflix. Hehe.

They have new Korean drama and I just added it to my list. I am going to watch something different this weekend. A friend suggested I write short reviews and publish them in a reading community where I am active. I could earn a few pennies for my posts.

Think of it as watching the same thing but trying to discover something new.

OK. I did notice that in certain episodes there were scenes I had missed. I must have fallen asleep when I watched the first time.

We do that too. We watch Star Trek Enterprise. We also have a tendency to watch movies that we've seen before because watching a new one requires too much concentration.
