Binge watching or escape of reality?

“I cannot watch Sherlock Holmes now because I have to wait for the entire episode coming out and watch them together!!” This was what I thought at the beginning of this year. At that time, Sherlock Holmes was about to release. I am so addicted to this TV series and cannot help but watching the former episodes again and again. I spent the whole night binging watching this TV series after the entire third season came out. And in order to finish watching this TV series, I stayed up late that night and got up late. Of course, I missed the time which I supposed to prepare for the GMAT exam. This matter reminds me of another matter when I was in high school. At that time, gossip girl was so popular. Everybody was obsessed with this drama. Everybody was trying to figure out how chaotic the relationship in the drama still could be. I was one of them. What’s more, the fashion style in the drama attracted me a lot. In order to finish watching this drama, I have skipped several classes and escaped a lot of homework. However, when I am observing the past experience from the present, I am surprised is it for real that drama is so intriguing? Of course not, the story is so boring and shallow. What I really want to do is to escape the duty I need to finish. I immersed myself in the drama in order to pretend that the life is as good as the drama. When the drama finished, the real life has to be continue.
