I've been a published film and TV critic since 2015 and only started keeping track of my yearly watches since 2018. I think on the spectrum of the volume of critics' yearly watches, I'm on the low to medium end, since some critic friends of mine regularly clock 300–500 films a year, but I thought the data would still be interesting for non-critics to get an idea of what the profession entails.
