I guess I'd have to argue that you aren't wasting time at all if you are being entertained. At the end of the day everything is just going to be a series of memories. Whether you enjoyed yourself going outside and being active or watching a great show it all ends up pretty much the same.
No joke, I didn't even realize this was a kickstarter. There is no information about the kind of tracker they are trying to write. There are also so many alternatives that solve this problem already that I don't even care.
I've noticed most kids enjoy watching the same show multiple times, so think of this product as a tool to create the exact opposite of what you'd like. On the other hand your parents might enjoy it because adults tolerance for repeated watching seems very low.
I could never get into Sherlock. I've tried several times because others love it. And I like detective stories. I really can't figure out what it is, too slow?
If you are willing to give it a shot again, do yourself a favor; read up on the plot of the original Doyle work. Each episode is based on the original works.
When you see how brilliantly they modernized the work you might find new enjoyment.
As an example, "A Study in Pink" ("A Study in Scarlet") has Holmes examining Watson's mobile phone and making all sorts of clever deductions. In the original, it was a pocket watch...but all the same deductions can still be made.
The Walking Dead has had 51 episodes. Each episode is about 43 minutes. That's just over 36 1/2 hours of content; not 3 days and 15 hours as the infographic suggests.
Rounding off to the hour when the information can be readily scraped from a number of websites would be a pretty big oversight if this was a service.
Does it say where this list of "the best of" came from? Some of those shows do not deserve to be listed on the same page as The Newsroom, let alone above of it.

Meanwhile, recently I've enjoyed Borgen, Bron, Akta Manniskor, Green Wing...
Edit: correction taken, there are a few UK shows - maybe the criterion is English language.

Still as someone else mentioned, is it truly wasted time if you derive entertainment from it? Definitely a first world problem if it is.

It's not for everyone, but it is well written.
