The characters of our favorite series can accompany us like good friends. You can find out what your TV favorites reveal about you here.
It doesn’t matter whether we binge our favorite series on Netflix, Amazon Prime and Co. or prefer to watch classic television – TV programs can help us to switch off from the stress of everyday life, they can inspire us and sometimes even teach us something. And that’s exactly why what we like to watch is so meaningful. Because our Netflix history reveals a lot about our character.
What Your Favorite TV Shows Say About Your Personality
Suspenseful: “Breaking Bad”
For you it has to be really exciting and full of plot twists. Thrillers like “Breaking Bad”, “House of Cards” or “Peaky Blinders” are exactly your thing. But you can also get a lot out of current hypes like the Korean hit series “Squid Game” – the main thing is that you can really immerse yourself in a complex plot. It can also be a bit more brutal. You are probably interested in politics and are very analytical. But you also have an extroverted and adventurous side.
Realistic: “Love Island”
Do you love reality shows like “Love Island”? You probably won’t miss “Keeping Up with the Kardashians”, “The Bachelor” or “Germany’s Next Top Model”. You just love the drama – pure escapism for you. Reality TV fans are usually very open and friendly. They love parties and socializing. By the way: one study proves that trash TV connoisseurs are particularly intelligent. And because you’re somehow ashamed of your guilty pleasure, you also tell everyone about this investigation – whether the person wants to hear it or not.
You go, Girl: “Sex and the City”
What attracts you to TV shows is often complex female friendships – especially in an exciting (professional) environment. Your favorites include “Sex and the City”, “Girls”, “The Bold Type”, but also “Orange Is the New Black”. You are probably very successful professionally and your career is your number one priority. Immediately afterwards your best friends come – without them nothing works for you. Fans of typical female empowerment series are also empathetic and very interested in relationships – even if it doesn’t always work out in their own.
Fantastic: “Game of Thrones”
Do you prefer fantasy or science fiction? You devoured “Game of Thrones”, maybe “True Blood”, “Stranger Things” and “The Walking Dead”. You love to immerse yourself in foreign worlds. You are creative and have – of course! – a blooming imagination. If you love fantasy series, you’re probably more reserved and don’t like to be the center of attention. You feel most comfortable in your own four walls – you prefer to go on crazy trips in front of the TV screen.
Everything relaxed: “Gilmore Girls”
If feel-good series like “Gilmore Girls”, “Modern Family”, “Chesapeake Shores” or “New Girl” flicker across your screen most often, you are probably looking for relaxation from the dramas of your everyday life when you watch TV. You long for an ideal world in which the biggest problems are a decoration war between the owner of the diner and the owner of the supermarket. You love romance, are more of an introvert and need a lot of time to yourself to recharge your batteries for the outside world.
Nerds among themselves: “The Big Bang Theory”
Sheldon and Co. are your favorite TV heroes? Then you’re probably a little nerd yourself. Your favorite series like “The Big Bang Theory”, “Community”, “The IT Crowd” or “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt” portray lovable outsiders. You’re probably also rather shy, but you thrive in the right company. You love to laugh – just not everyone understands your sense of humor. You are unconventional and intelligent above average.
Crime fan: “True Detective”
Do you particularly enjoy watching crime series like “True Detective”, “How to Get Away with Murder”, “CSI”, “The Sinner” or “Criminal Minds”? Then you are very curious and you miss absolutely nothing. Do you love to observe people and are you also interested – or particularly? – for human abysses. You tend to be a bit neurotic, though.
