I'm not ashamed to admit it: I peak at what other people are watching. If I'm on a train and see that someone is absorbed by a show, I get curious and take a quick look over their shoulder. What are they watching? Is it a movie? A TV show? A YouTube clip? I simply MUST know.
Part of it is curiosity, but also I'm curious to know whether I'm missing out on something.
Thinking about my socially unacceptable behavior, I decided two things:
1) I probably should stop looking at strangers phones on the train. My mother raised me better than that; and
2) I have resources available to me - it was time to step things up and take my screen voyeurism to the next level.
I put in a call to my pals over at SBS On Demand and asked them: What are people streaming this month? Apparently people watch the film ... A LOT. But, it turns out that SBS viewers have great taste in the TV they're watching.
