While streaming platforms have made TV viewing more convenient, they've also made it more isolating, reducing opportunities for meaningful discussions about content. One way to address this could be to create structured TV discussion groups that combine scheduled viewing with thoughtful analysis, similar to how book clubs operate for literature.
