Gotcha, apologies for the misread!

Honestly, I was surprised too. I guess given how ubiquitous movies and television are, it never really occurred to me that it could be a hobby. And I bet most people don't think of it as a hobby, either. When I think of a hobby related to TV/Movies, I think more like "film snobs" (for lack of a better term). Maybe people who watch the AFI 100 or whatever and know all about film and cinematography. But not people just watching TV like anyone else. But by definition, it's a hobby. It's "a pursuit outside one's regular occupation engaged in especially for relaxation."

For my coworker, she's single and childless. So she has tons of time to watch movies and shows outside of work. I'm the same, but I devote it mainly towards gaming. Though I could certainly stand to devote less time to my hobby. Or pick up some new ones at least!

Hope you'll be able to find some more time to watch the movies and show you want!
