Your complete journey through cinema and television
Looking through your viewing history reveals several dominant patterns:
Science Fiction/Time Travel: This is HUGE in your viewing history - time travel movies/shows (ARQ, Time Trap, Timecrimes), sci-fi series (Black Mirror, Stranger Things, Dark, The Peripheral), and classics like Primer show a deep fascination with temporal mechanics.
Dystopian/Post-Apocalyptic: The Rain, Black Summer, Jericho, Into the Night - many "end of world" scenarios populate your watchlist.
Mystery/Thriller/Crime: Extensive Nordic noir and European mysteries, multiple Harlan Coben adaptations (Fool Me Once, Stay Close, The Stranger), crime series like Bosch and The Sinner.
Mind-bending/Reality-questioning: Movies about consciousness and simulation like Coherence, The Discovery, and Synchronicity.
Action/Spy Thrillers: Extensive MI-5 viewing, Jack Ryan, The Night Agent - suggesting an interest in espionage and geopolitical intrigue.

You're drawn to epistemic uncertainty - finding comfort in exploring the anxiety of not knowing what's real. This isn't escapism; it's controlled catastrophizing. You use fiction to safely explore worst-case scenarios as a way of processing real-world uncertainties.
Your viewing pattern shows completion commitment with series (finishing entire runs of Fringe, MI-5, multiple Harlan Coben adaptations) but you're a grazer with movies - often watching obscure, low-budget sci-fi that most people skip. You're actively hunting for specific philosophical experiences.
The heavy European content combined with time-travel obsession suggests attraction to non-linear narrative structures and cultural otherness as ways of disrupting conventional thinking patterns.
