Who watches this and why does this genre of TV satisfy

Money heist.

- Personal identity

- Information

- Integration and social interaction

- Entertainment

1. Personal identity:

It effects my personal identity by making me more aware of situations, I love thriller films and series with a good story and moral and the fact that there is always a reason to watch the next episode, also I can watch it in the evening after all my work is done and I can relax.

2. Information

It gives me information as to how to possible communicate with people by lip reading, I try to lip read films as this helps with my hearing disability.

3. Integration and social interaction.

Like the above these programs are good help with my quest to lip read as this benefits my disability, also it is nice to learn responses to conversations.

4. Entertainment

I watch the money heist mostly for entertainment as the show gets me on the edge of my seat (as it is of the thriller genre). It also stimulates certain senses and emotions, say if someone is about to die or actually gets killed. This together keeps me hooked and thriller as my favourite genre.
