Ways for you to get over post-series blues
We all have those pangs of stress around the last few episodes of our current favorite TV show, about the crossroad where there will be no “Next Episode” button to click. For many hours, days, and weeks, we invest ourselves in the plot, characters, and the world of the show, only to realize that it—after all—exists inside a screen.
You get a story, escapism, possibly even life-changing inspirations. In return the TV shows get your undivided attention. 16 But the longer it goes on for, the harder the end seems to be. Perhaps the best way to get over the post-series blues is to be grateful for what you’ve learnt, and enjoy where your imagination has taken you.
Watch all the accompanying contents around the show
We’re talking interviews, behind-the-scenes, bloopers (花絮), cast reunions and more. The digital world is endless, and if you’re willing to dig a little deeper, there are high chances you will come across related content that fulfills you in the same way that the show did. 17 It could eventually cause you to willingly step away from your screen.
Join a community for people with similar interests
Anyone who’s dealt with post-series blues will know the itch of discussing your obsession with your friends. Enter digital platforms that host communities for people with similar interests. 18 These platforms will fascinate you with fan theories, interpretations, reviews, and memes (网络话题) for practically all kinds of types.
Watch shows and movies of the same cast
Sometimes, it’s the characters of a show that you get attached to. 19 Watching your favorite actors in different contexts can give you the reassurance that there’s an ocean of engaging content out there that awaits you.
