Any TV series since ER. Any streaming service show except for Bridgerton, and the Crown.
I don’t like violence, gore, or scary stuff. I don’t like fantasy, science fiction, or reality. So pretty much, I haven’t watched TV in the last 15-20 years, save the aforementioned. Oh, and Downton Abbey. |

| Most of them. I'm from another country and don't have much interest in TV series. I did see Downton Abbey, though. On a related note, I am totally ignorant about most 20th century music, unless it pertains to classical music, since that's what I like. And sports, apart from World Cup soccer. |

Let me count the ways and for perspective, I’m 52.
Battlestar Gallactica The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel The Hunger Games Harry Potter-not even the books Star Trek (saw the movie with Ricardo Montalban) Marvel or superhero anything. Hate it all. Just saw the original Star Wars maybe 5 years ago Ask me if I’ve seen a documentary and likely the answer will be a yes. Or, anything related to US Presidential history. |

Friends and Seinfeld. I've seen pieces of a few episodes of each. I get the appeal of much of the type of humor in Seinfeld, I think, but I have less than zero interest in Friends (and it was THE big show during years when I was pretty much its target demographic). Even in reruns and now streaming, neither appeals to me at all. And I'm someone who really loves to laugh and has a long list of sitcoms I enjoy and re-watch. But those two I never could stomach for more than five minutes. I have friends who adore them so I'm not dissing the shows per se, but saying they never attracted me. This thread is all so individual, though. I thought Severance was brilliantly done and can't wait for more of it. My friend loathed it. And so on. Different strokes. |

PP who hates superhero anything. Always always have detested science fiction; hence my disinterest in Star Wars/Trek, etc. I also can’t stand anything surreal or weird, so no Stranger Things. Curious, this PP, if you ever watch old tv shows? Not to brag, (ha!) but I binge watched I Love Lucy, What’s my Line and the Dick Van Dyke show all during Covid-this was truly escapism. I just watched the a Netflix documentary on Jimmy Savile-I know, reality and scary but documentaries are engrossing to me and not manufactured horror. |
