If I had to watch every movie/show that was/is popular... I wouldn't have time for things I really enjoy, so fuck that.

A problem I often have is finding something good enough to kinda watch, but not SO good that I feel like I’m missing something if I screw around with my tablet while it’s on.

Who added wednesday?

I feel this

The Bear is a great show, would definitely recommend.

more than half of those shows mentioned are unwatchable garbage.

Based on the mostly fantastic choices presented here, I am now using those mentioned that I haven’t seen as a guide to future choices.

If The White Lotus isn't a TLA spinoff I'm gonna invade the Rhineland.

Edit: looking for volunteers

I haven't even heard of half of these shows, let alone watched them. Who even has time to watch all of these?

I mean, Wednesday and The Bear we're both great shows TBH. Russian Doll was funny and dark as well.

Are you... Me?

I honestly feel like there’s entirely too many actually good shows out there for any one person to watch.

My wife and I have like 3 comfort shows that we just rewatch all year round. And this is kind of how it's like when we meet up with our friends who have watched everything new as it releases.

Don’t even get started with anime, I feel like there’s sooo many good shows but each one has over 600 episodes and I won’t ever get time to watch it all

What about Righteous Gemstones? I'm like 4 or 5 episodes in but it hasn't grabbed my attention yet. Worth watching?

Stopped watching shows, only torrenting old stuff and the odd cartoon here or there. Picked up comics recently though, lots of stuff coming out but it's oddly different, it feels more like record collecting.

CONSOOM TV

Why bother trying to keep up to date with all these things just because of FOMO?

I am out of touch and I don't recognize 85% of the names, and I am suspecting that those are made up so that the comic resonates with informed people as well. And the artist seems to have little imagination ("The Watcher" is obviously a play on "The Witcher").

Personally that agony of indecision has saved me probably thousands of pounds - I've never subscribed to a single streaming service, knowing that having to actually choose what to watch instead of settling for the least shit thing currently on tv, would paralyse me for hours each day.
