The Documentary Essayist vs The Prestige-TV Bingewatcher
Two taste personalities. See how their Taste DNA differs — and which one is you.
"You chase documentaries that deliver either perfect moments or revealed paradoxes."
narrative_resolution: Strongly prefers documentaries that achieve closure — either complete arcs or revealed paradoxes
mastery_obsession_focus: Values mastery/discipline as central drama, but not universally; accepts systemic critique equally
affirmative_reverent_tone: Equally values affirmative reverence and critical questioning; both achieve 10s
"You chase the exact moment a man decides to stop being good."
antihero_self_destruction_arc: requires the protagonist to be the author of his own ruin, with full consciousness
systemic_rot_over_individual_villainy: corruption must be structural, not a personal character flaw floating free of institutions
slow_burn_pacing_as_pleasure: patience with gradual revelation is itself the primary reward, not acceleration toward plot
psychological_penetration_of_hidden_states: drawn to investigators or protagonists who read minds, reconstruct hidden mental architecture
paranoia_and_destabilised_reality: values works where the ground beneath perception is actively unreliable or conspiratorially layered
