I am very proud of myself - I have never heard of any of these shows.
That's an odd thing to be proud of :-/
I'm 27 and don't care to watch new TV shows, whether it's prestige or Netflix thing-of-the-month shows. I prefer films and reading. I don't feel proud for not watching them though. It's just media consumption at the end of the day.
I’ve seen only a few things in the last few years that go beyond just using tricks to hook you.
Newsroom on HBO is an example of writing with a bit of substance.
I just love information, so I watch a lot of documentaries.
Outside of the top shelf of TV (Sopranos, Wire, Succession) it's all incredibly formulaic and boring.
