It's a you thing. Plenty of tech nerds watch Netflix shows, we're not a separate species.

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.

Most tv is not that great.

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'm the same, except the YouTube.

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.
