Seen, Read 2018

Comments Off on Seen, Read 2018 read

One of my favorite film directors, Steven  Soderbergh, has been cataloging the movies, TV shows, and plays he has watched, along with the books and short stories he has read, over the period of a year and then publishing the list every year since 2009. In 2015, one of my favorite sites, FiveThirtyEight, turned his Seen, Read 2014 list into an eye-catching, informative graph.

You can find Steven’s lists from prior years here: 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009.

Inspired by both the data tracking and resulting visualization, I started tracking what I watched and read throughout the year beginning in 2014. I continued to keep track the following years and now have published lists every year since. The results of my media consumption for 2018 are below.

I’m still not tracking video games. I haven’t figured out a method I want to follow yet.

Trivia

  • I watched 130 TV shows (-46 vs 2017), 31 movies (±0 vs 2017), and read 3 books (-1 vs 2017).
  • My busiest day was on January 15, when I watched 6 episodes of the fantastic German Netflix show, Dark, in one day.
  • The 3 movies I watched in 1 day were all on a flight back from Europe. I watched Deadpool 2, Pacific Rim Uprising, and Molly’s Game.
