Hi! Let's chat about TV shows before we start. I love hearing what people are watching these days.

“What show are you watching right now, and what's it about?”
“Do you prefer to binge-watch a whole season, or watch one episode at a time?”
“If a friend gave you the perfect show to watch, what would it be like?”
“Have you ever come across a show by accident that turned out to be amazing?”
“Why do you think some shows are so addictive that we can't stop watching?”
Fresh topic questions — none repeat until you have seen them all

Maya is binge-watching a mystery show late at night. The main character is opening a locked door, and behind it a shadow is moving. The episode suddenly ends.
🔮 What happens next?
What do you think is behind the door?
