I am a self-proclaimed car chase fanatic. From eagerly hoping for weekend reruns of live police pursuits during high school to researching their allure in college, I have always been captivated by the excitement of these thrilling events. Even when playing “Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas” on my Sony Playstation, I sought to live vicariously through the high-speed chases depicted in the game.
Despite being aware of the negative aspects of pursuits, such as the waste of police resources and the potential dangers they pose to innocent bystanders, I couldn’t help but be drawn to the adrenaline rush that car chases offer. So, when Pluto TV launched a 24-hour car chase channel, I was ecstatic. However, after watching it for an entire day, I came to the realization that the allure of car chases lies not in the possibility of violence or escape, but in the comforting familiarity they provide. As a collective Southern Californian experience, they have become a source of temporary relief from our daily problems.
Pluto TV’s decision to launch this channel reflects the long-standing interest in car chases among audiences. As I binged on the channel, I was reminded of classic pursuits from the past and thought about how the channel could be improved by organizing the content by themes, using appropriate soundtracks, and grouping commercials together.
Despite my suggestions, I have come to understand that Pluto TV’s current format may not need to change. As a friend of mine, a political strategist, eagerly expressed interest in the channel, I realized that there is an enduring appeal for car chases that many people, like myself, are drawn to. After all, car chases provide us with a collective experience that allows us to momentarily escape from our everyday lives.
In conclusion, the launch of the 24-hour car chase channel by Pluto TV demonstrates the enduring fascination with these events and serves as a comforting Southern Californian experience.
