I've been watching telly pretty much my whole life

and yet I still have trouble understanding so many tv shows or movies I see.

Like the Singing Detective. Over the space of years I had watched it 4 times and even read the teleplay. Only when I noticed Philip's different fictional narratives had the same themes did I figure it out.

Anyone else watch stuff and have no clue?

Yeah, honestly I usually can't remember the characters'names until I've watched 5+ episodes and usually have trouble remembering back stories and context for the first season or two
