The only TV fandom I was sort of in was Lost during its original run.
It was fun to go to different forums to read others' interpretations and theories. I posted my own thoughts and episode reviews a handful of times on some fan forums.

Seeing the sorts of schisms and divergence in opinions on how the show ended (the last 2 seasons especially were really divisive) more or less turned me off to really "getting into" any TV show fandom.

I read people's reviews and theories, I watch video essays/reviews, I might talk to a person IRL about snippets and general thoughts/feelings, but most shows feel like a heavy investment of time and energy I seem to not have.

It's mostly my experience of seeing someone be enthusiastic about the Show and when I display my enthusiasm in return I get no real reaction or a really gatekeepy reaction.
And then it immediately makes me feel like I did something wrong so I stop engaging (outside of "oh yeah I watched the new episode, it was good. Wonder what the twist is" water cooler sort of chit chat with various people).
