DAE get overwhelmed by all the new shows and just end up rewatching comfort favorites instead?

Does anyone else feel completely paralyzed by choice when it comes to streaming? Every week there are a dozen new shows or movies dropping, spread across five different services I subscribe to, and instead of picking something new, I just default to rewatching an old favorite for the tenth time. It's not that I don't want to watch new things, but the mental energy required to commit to a new series, hoping it's good, just feels like too much after a long day. There's a certain comfort in knowing exactly what you're getting. Am I alone in this rewatch cycle, or do others do the same? Any tips for breaking out of it?
