The TV Show Debate

Characters:

Scene: A cozy café on Saturday afternoon. Maria, James, and Lina are at a small table with coffee.

Scene 1

Maria: (Excited) So, what are you both watching these days? I just started a drama called City Lights. It’s amazing!

Lina: (Smiles) Oh no, not another drama! Don’t you get tired of tears and love triangles?

Maria: (Laughs) No way! The characters feel so real. I couldn’t stop watching—I binge-watched three episodes last night.

James: (Shakes head) I prefer something educational. I’m watching a space documentary. They think a new planet might support life.

Lina: (Teasing) James, you’re a teacher even outside class! Still, that sounds interesting. But I like something lighter. Reality shows are my favorite.

Maria: Reality shows? Come on, Lina, those are so fake.

Lina: Not all of them! I’m watching Master Cook Challenge. Real people compete, and the food looks amazing. Last episode, a cook made a dessert with chili peppers!

James: (Laughs) That doesn’t sound tasty at all—but it’s fun to watch.

Scene 2

They sip their coffee and think about their reasons.

Maria: I like following one big story, episode by episode. I feel like I know the characters personally.

James: For me, if I spend an hour watching, I want to finish with new knowledge.

Lina: And I just want to relax and laugh. Life is stressful enough!

Maria: Okay, which type of show is best—drama, documentary, or reality?

James: (Smiling) Impossible question. It depends on the person.

Lina: Maybe we can’t choose one answer.

Maria: I have an idea. What if we watch each other’s favorite shows this week? Then we’ll compare next Saturday.

James: (Nods) Deal. I’ll watch City Lights.

Lina: I’ll try the space documentary—if it’s not too boring.

Maria: And I’ll watch Master Cook Challenge.

James: Next Saturday, same café, same time?

Lina: Deal!

Maria: (Raises her cup) To new shows and open minds!

All: Cheers!
