    Is it just me or is there an insane amount of tv and movie content now?

    There’s too much TV being produced to watch. Like, there’s too much of JUST STAR WARS content to keep up. If you were unfamiliar with Star Wars, for example, you would not be able to become well-versed in it. You don’t have the time. And that’s just one franchise.

    Who the fuck has time to watch all this?

    • Others will say there's barely anything new to watch :)

    • You don't have to watch anything? You know this.jagara
    • Oh I don’t watch any of this shit. I watch about one movie a month and haven’t watched a TV show since.... Peep Show?

    • This. Which always leads to the "You have to see ____, it's so good" convo. To which I reply "oh yeah cool" and never watch it. What a good problem to have.stoplying
    • Who said anyone watches all of it? Tv is a great form of entertainment and the wide selection of content makes sure anyone can get what they want.monospaced
    • Most people saw the original Star Wars movies decades ago. Keeping up was a max 2 hr commitment a year?monospaced
    • Exactly. Too much made up fiction. Why fill your life with made up drivel. If you went to a library and took out 10 books it’s ok if 1 is fiction, no more.shapesalad
    • I think people watch less in breadth and more in depthdrgs
    • lol at the absolute bullshit idea that one should not read too much fiction, fuck off with that nonsensemonospaced
    • Go to the library. Get good books to read. Get one non fiction no more because that shit is boring af.monospaced
    • Most of it is shit.mort_

    • I though much the same when we signed up to Disney+ and I realised how labyrinthine the utterly pointless the Marvel series of movies is.Nairn
    • I think we're getting pretty fucking good at spinning a good yarn. Fiction can hold way more truths than non-fiction.Ianbolton
    • But there is a lot of shit about. And a lot it can become popular (Squid Games) that I think 'shit, do i need to see that?'Ianbolton
    • Then I come back and scroll through QBN for some balance. Hope you've all had smashing holidays xIanbolton
    • Squid Games was a good series. Pretty much the only one I watched this year.yuekit
    • But I agree nb, it's gone too faryuekit
    • So consume just the good stuff instead of trying for everything? Having a lot to choose from seems like a good thingscarabin
