Starting Spiritual Practice
What can I practise while watching mysteries besides following the plot?

Observe and reason as you watch. Why does someone act this way? Do earlier arrangements fit later events? Connecting clues engages your own thinking rather than simply waiting for the answer.
I have liked mysteries since childhood. In Squid Game, details about elderly contestant 001, his reasons for joining and order of appearances seemed unusual within the game’s arrangement. I guessed a connection with the organisers, and the later revelation matched that direction.
Noticing details, asking questions and watching development are part of the enjoyment for me. Entertainment can include observation and thought. This was one viewing experience, not proof one correct guess lets me immediately see through every real situation.
