   Yes, I know this form of cringe. And I thought @tinydoctor experienced this when watching the stuff. To me, embarrassingly bad acting would cause this form of dismay in me for other people's conduct.

     Watched the first episode of a highly regarded television show that people I know and like thought was great and I was absolutely fucking bored with it, which goes to show that either individual tastes are ultimately idiosyncratic, or that all my friends and at least some television critic have shit taste in TV, honestly it's a coin flip which it is

     @scalzi I stopped watching TV because I became embarrassed for the actors and the writers and had to leave the room, which annoyed my wife. Same thing with movies. My wife was even more annoyed when I would leave the theater because I was embarrassed for the actors and the writers.

     Was it the staleness of the scenes/dialogues, and the stiff and mechanical way of acting?

     @simsa03 @tinydoctor
     The weird thing is I never feel embarrassed for the actors. Only the characters. My own quirk, I guess.

     Good distinction. Missed that in my musings.
