Movies, I get. But TV? You can’t have more than a room temperature IQ and be able to stand TV.
Instead, I watch streaming TV from the internet with a Roku stick.
I watch pretty much anything there is besides what's on regular TV that is sent to you via cable or satellite.
I don't watch cable TV news or network sitcoms or reality shows at all.
Just movies, documentaries, education shows, travel shows, etc. at my choosing, rather than their choosing.
Last night I watched a program about Egyptian chariots, their history, how they were designed and how big of an impact the chariot's invention had in changing warfare almost immediately.
Modern craftsman and riggers tried to duplicate the making of these chariots, which were much more complicated than the subtle eye could see. They found it much more difficult than they first thought it would be.
It made for very interesting and educational TV.
There are plenty of interesting TV programs to watch if you stay away from the regular fare offered by the networks and cable/satellite providers

Well, “TV” isn’t really TV anymore; like all else “TV” has moved into the 21st Century. Almost all the good stuff comes from streaming, much of which is from foreign countries (Midsommer Murders, Sherlock, Mrs. Fisher’s Murder Mysteries, and many others). HBO too has made some amazing shows (Deadwood, Sopranos, The Wire), AMC with Breaking Bad, first few seasons of Walking Dead SyFi with The Expanse, three seasons of “Fargo”.
But network TV is total garbage, worse than it ever was. And movies? Hadn’t been to one in at least ten years ... 99.999% of movies are utter dreck, geared almost exclusively to teens an comic book fans ...
