I know what you mean. Gaming is a past time that is very time consuming and as a result, we spend a lot of our free time playing them as opposed to watching TV, due to it being another extremely time consuming past time.
In my case, it's a mix of that and the fact that I'm very picky with my tv shows. In order for me to like it enough to watch new episodes, one of two things must happen:
1. The show has to grip me from the first episode I watch regardless if it's the first episode of the series or not, a la Breaking Bad and Gravity Falls.
Or 2. I have to binge watch the series and it has to get better as it goes on, a la Lawyer Friendly Equines or Steven Universe.
As a result of this, some of the newer shows that I've tried and kind of liked I've never fully got into. I liked Star Vs. The Forces of Evil and Wander Over Yonder, but the shows weren't good enough at the start [in my opinion] for me to continue watching them. I have nothing against either show, they just didn't grab me the way the other shows did upon my first viewing and there's not enough episodes for me to binge watch the series so I can get to the meat of the show without having to wait an entire season or so.
