Sometimes, we find ourselves watching TV shows that make us wonder, “What am I doing with my life?” Maybe it’s a guilty pleasure, or maybe it’s just so bizarre that we can’t look away.
Whatever the reason, these 5 TV shows made us question our choices in entertainment… but we kept watching anyway. Here’s why:
1. The Bachelor (How Did We Get Here?)
Let’s be real: The Bachelor isn’t just a show; it’s a cultural phenomenon. And yet, every season, we tune in, not because we believe in true love, but because we want to see who doesn’t get a rose (and the inevitable drama that follows).
After a few episodes, you realize that it’s a real-life soap opera, but with more cringeworthy moments than you ever thought humanly possible.
Still, there’s something about that suspense-filled rose ceremony that keeps us hooked, as we pretend to be “above it all” while secretly waiting for the dramatic limo exit.
We’re questioning our taste in love, but hey, we’re still watching.
2. Keeping Up with the Kardashians (Because We All Need a Little Chaos)
Is it a reality show? Is it a documentary? Is it just a bizarre glimpse into a world we’ll never understand? Keeping Up with the Kardashians is like the fast food of television—cheap, addicting, and leaves you feeling empty afterward.
But every time you hear about a new plot twist, like Kim losing her diamond earring in the ocean or Khloe’s latest hair color, you get sucked back in.
We all say “this is the last season” as we get ready to order another pizza and watch another episode.
We may question our life choices, but you better believe we’re still watching the Kardashians build their empire… one Instagram post at a time.
3. The Circle (Social Media’s Worst Nightmare, Our Guilty Pleasure)
The Circle is basically Big Brother meets social media stalking, with a side of “can I really trust that person?”
It’s one of those shows that makes you question how much real social interaction you’re actually getting.
After all, these people are chatting with each other from their couches—oh, and pretending to be someone else while they do it.
The Circle has you rooting for people who, if you met them in real life, you’d probably call the police for catfishing.
But somehow, it’s wildly entertaining, and we’re still watching these social media misfits try to figure out who’s real and who’s fake… all while we wonder if we, too, would thrive in such an absurd digital world.
Spoiler: We wouldn’t. But we’ll keep watching.
4. The 100 (Because Who Doesn’t Want to Watch Teens Save the World?)
At first, The 100 was just another dystopian teen drama, but then we all started questioning how it somehow became a series where teens are the last hope for humanity.
Between radioactive wastelands, spaceships, and a constant stream of “should we kill or save the planet?” moments, we had no idea what was going on half the time.
But there was something strangely addicting about watching these teens make world-altering decisions… while still having some questionable fashion choices.
Would we survive in a post-apocalyptic world? Probably not. But we kept watching anyway, hoping for an explanation to the madness.
5. The Twilight Zone (But Make It Weird… And Never Stop)
There’s something about The Twilight Zone that made us question the very fabric of reality—and our taste in entertainment.
Some episodes left us utterly confused, others had us questioning if we’d ever get the plot twist. But no matter what happened, we were glued to our screens.
The show made us question whether or not we had been living in a simulation (spoiler: we probably were) and if the weirdness of the universe was too much to handle.
Did we understand all of the plots? Nope. Did we keep watching? Absolutely. Because, at the end of the day, who doesn’t want a healthy dose of weird with a side of existential crisis?
