I forgot details about an important show boyfriend loves

I forgot some details about the show I'm watching for my boyfriend. It's a huge interest of his, and this show saved his life. I have been watching it for a few weeks but I'm only on episode 19. An hour ago he asked me about it and I couldn’t remember most of the details but I know that when I watched it I remembered it really well. I wasn’t doing any other tasks while watching it so I’m frustrated that I forgot. My boyfriend said that I just didn’t like it. He said it feels like I ruined the show because it felt like I only watched it because I wanted to bond with him over it, not because I genuinely liked it. I tried to explain that this happens when I watch a lot of shows. For example, Twin Peaks is my favorite show, but a week after watching it, I couldn’t remember most of the details, so I had to rewatch it while taking notes. I told him that I would just have to do the same with this show but that brought up the question would I have bothered to rewatch it if he hadn't brought it up? My boyfriend is upset, and I’m frustrated. What do I do further? Why did this happen? What can I say to him? Right now we’re just given each other alone time because he’s hurt and I just don’t know what to say and I’m upset myself. Thsi has happened multiple times too. He has recommended me a show he really loves and it’s like my brain turns off while I’m watching it and I can’t remember the details. It irks me.
