    I'm usually pretty good with this stuff but I really struggled following the plot of season 2 of True Detective. I had to watch explainer videos on youtube once or twice.

    Some people get into a habit of asking questions and then everything being explained to them.
    Another reason is some people can't shut up.

    There's definitely a large subset of people out there, and social media has compounded this, who see themselves as the stars in their own show and can't focus on something which requires them to pay attention to something other than themselves. We all know people like this. Don't follow news, current affairs, tv series, their only topic of conversation is themselves and their lives.

    So you can see where he was coming from.
    But there are plenty of exceptions like Cuba is not in the USA but is in the North American continent etc.

    He was literally talking about the USA, I tried explaining to him that its part of North America and listed some of the other countries, Canada, Mexico etc but he was having none of it. He was convinced he was right. (This was circa 2001, pre smartphones and easy access to Google)

    My memory is terrible. If I have to wait six months between the end of one series and the start of the next I completely forgot what's happened. It's so bad that I've given up watching things until they're finished.

    I get it with long running series that have huge casts like Game of Thrones but then there are other shows like Breaking Bad with the two central characters and a few others that play a part in their story, which I think can be followed a bit easier.

    Personally, unless someone is a hardcore fan I can forgive them even if they forgot characters or plotlines in either. I've been asked by a fellow Star Wars fan who is Tarkin, so glad that we got Rogue One to give him more screentime.
