hatewatch 

Watching a TV show or movie that you hate because you hate it.

Usage note: hatewatching is distinct from enjoying a guilty pleasure, wherein you like something despite its obvious badness. A hatewatched show is one the viewer genuinely despises but cannot stop watching. This could be because it is so "important" they feel they have to, because it has enough promise that they hope it gets better, because it's so well-crafted in it's terribleness that the badness itself is noteworthy, or because they enjoy the adrenaline that pure revulsion can bring. Whatever the reason, the hatewatcher can't look away from the trainwreck.
"Hey, why do you watch every episode of The Newsroom if you think it's so bad?"
"I'm hatewatching it, hoping it achieves self-awareness."

hatewatch 

Following someone on social media closely although you don't like them. Could be for many reasons:

- A frenemy laying low, acting normal
- Collecting tea to gossip/talk shit
- Finding (reaching) for justification to not like them
- Jealous of them so you study everything about them
- Scared of them so you pay attention to their schedule and friends to avoid them
- Evil so you pay attention to their schedule and friends to plot something manipulative

- Making sure they're not talking shit because you have a chip on your shoulder

- Hoping for schadenfreude

For whatever reason, know thy enemy. "Keep your friends close but your enemies closer."

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
