My 2024 in Viewing
AKA how much TV/Movies did I watch? Although I’ve had an account for a few years, I really leaned into using Trakt.tv as much as possible this year. I wasn’t consistent with adding episodes after watching them – i.e. I have a massive spike in August when I marked almost all of The Office as…
