I had just this epiphany when my kids and I were watching the latest episode of “Avatar: The Legend of Korra”, and my four-year-old daughter couldn’t understand why we couldn’t just keep watching to find out what happened next. I realized that, as they’ve been watching old shows on Netflix (e.g., “Curious George”, the ’90s version of “X-Men”, “Busytown Mysteries”, etc.), everything’s already laid out from beginning to end for them. When there have been continuing storylines, we just need to spend another 22-44 minutes to wrap things up.
Anyone else thought about this?
Have run up against the same things myself – only it’s more like I’ve watched entire multiple seasons of a new show, got caught up in the story lines, and now have to wait months for the next season to become available. If it’s frustrating for me, who understands, what must it be like for a child?
