    Can’t disagree with any of that. That was a good place to stop with GoT, I also made it about 2 ep into book of fett before not caring, and I haven’t watched any marvel movies since Thanos.

    I think there are still some good shows worth watching, but 90% is crap. The best show I’ve watched recently is probably Barry. 4 quick seasons, 30m episodes, and the series has ended so no risk of a GoT situation.

    Did you ever watch Breaking Bad?

        Ah dang. I think it really is a masterpiece. I think there’s a bit of a slump in s2, but by the time s3 gets underway, it’s easily up there with No Country for Old Men and Fargo, imo. All the characters are well written, intelligent, trying to out smart each other, but it never feels like they’re spoon feeding the audience to keep up. Great tension and the acting is 🤌. And it’s only 5 seasons, doesn’t feel dragged out.

        But if you’re able to avoid constantly consuming entertainment in this day and age, more power to ya! 😁
