You're going to miss a lot of the nuance in any complex show that way. A lot of storytelling is nonverbal and easily missed if you're distracted.

I don't disagree. I tend to have on shows I've seen before. Its background noise more than anything.

Anything more complex than a sit com or such, and I get lost because I wasn't paying attention. I'm not very good at just sitting and watching a movie without something else to occupy my hands/mind.

I'm very much the same I often rewatch shows while doing "mindless" grind activities in games. Or watch shows I find bad after giving them a try because.... I have a hard time actually giving something up half way.
