My wife and I use amazon prime. We’ve not had television since spring of 1997, but last year we found out this came with our prime membership so we gave it a try. We watched a few “modern” TV shows through a few episodes, but they are mostly soap operas. That is, the story drags on and on and you feel like the writers are making it up as they go along.
We did get hooked on suits for a while, because of the courtroom drama and backroom stuff. But even it fell into soap opera territory.
We just stick with movies and old TV shows (each episode has a beginning and an end) now.
I liked the first season of Suits. A kid had a great memory and used it as a tool for his ruse of a life. He had to skirt the system of high profile attorneys and helped to win cases. Then it went to hell. It became ALL about relationships between him and girls, and bosses, and old friends, and competitors.... What about winning court cases? Remember that? I gave it up in season #2.

Reminds me of Star Wars.
One other thing I don’t understand is all the police and lawyer shows. The police always catch the bad guys and the technology is infallible. When I see CSI-Los Angeles, CSI-New Orleans, etc. I wonder if in Germany they would have had SS-Hamburg, SS-Berlin, SS-Munich.
They brought back Babylon 5.
