My girlfriend and some friends do this during work/chores, but I'm wondering how that works.
Are there really shows that aren't good enough to warrant your undivided attention, yet good enough to watch in the first place?
I really can't think of any for myself. If I don't mind missing chunks of a show, then I don't really want to watch it in the first place. If it was good, then I wouldn't want to miss it. Just curious.
- SwellJoe 10y agoMostly re-runs, but also scifi/fantasy stuff that isn't great, but still provides occasional moments of, "huh, that was interesting". Most recently I was binging The 100 while working. It's not good enough to really hold my attention, but it's also a fun post-apocalyptic story with a pretty good cast. I mostly listen to music while working, but sometimes mindless TV is good, too. Probably not while I'm doing hard stuff, but some days I have a lot of mindless stuff to churn through.
- jakebasile 10y agoI don't make a habit of it, but sometimes I'll have Twitch or something running in PIP mode while working. If I'm alone at home it can get pretty quiet and I don't always want music on. It's a bit like white noise. I'm guessing this person uses Netflix in a similar way.

As someone with ADHD: that's going to be most of the shows I ever watch. Unless it's really one of the best shows or movies I've ever seen (like The Wire or something from IMDB's top 50), it's really hard to give it complete undivided attention and probably not worth it anyway.
