It’s fun to get and receive recommendations from friends, and the highest praise is when someone lets you know they appreciated the thing you recommended. 

Inveitably you come across a great movie, show, or book. You want to share with a friend just enough to get them excited, but don’t want to give away the plot. 

To get around this I’ve leaned on sharing my emotions in consuming a particular piece of media, giving examples of other types of things its similar to, or spoiling the first 10% or so.
