I feel like a bit of an outlier here. But I just don't care for them. I much prefer playing video games.

TV shows all have the same safe plot now. I don't even own a TV anymore after Netflix became slop. For the really special stuff that comes out once awhile I'll just find a pirate stream.

I play multiplayer indie games on Steam with friends, roleplay in second life, or read books.

Should be doing our phasmophobia playthrough for Halloween soon.

A collegue actually sent me a clip about this, and how the producers are dumbing down / over-simplifying plots because they know the audience is watching while on their phone.

I cant find anything to watch either, its all so dumb. Im on my 5th repeat of Better Call Saul, Breaking Bad, IT Crowd because nothing new is good... Sigh.

I couldn't disagree more. We're in a golden age of TV and have been for a while.

The Pitt? Severance? Hacks? Succession? The Bear? Ted Lasso? Euphoria? The Crown? Schitt's Creek? Killing Eve? Barry? Veep?

I liked succession and severance. The bear was just ok, I didnt think it was amazing and was surprised at the ratings. The pitt was actually boring. Killing eve was ok first season, then very boring. Barry was decent first season, then got boring.

I will try the others you mentioned. Of course we are not gonna agree but I really want to find a good tv show.
