What are you watching?

@chas I'm glad.
I think there's truth in Jodi's and Bob's comments.
I won't watch anything in the horror genre. I can imagine the subject matter without being reminded of it and I don't watching movies and shows about it.
It's the news I have to be more careful about how much I watch. I'm interested in it but binging on it is stressful.
My favorite PCP, an internist I saw for the last seven years I lived in Lahaina, helped me when Trump was elected the first time.
I told her my thoughts about it, and she said, "Yes, but life goes on."
Later, when following news (with my phone) was stressful, she said, "Turn it off. Just turn it off."
I might have to breakdown and buy a television again, though.
There are many good movies, dramas, comedies, and documentaries.
I'd like to be able to do more than watch clips.

The second season of The Pitt is what I look forward to watching every week. It is so excellent. We have been watching the new season of Shrinking, as well, though it isn’t as good as previous seasons. Still good, though! Unfortunately the new season of Hijack is terrible, and the new season of Paradise is only okay.
@andyd I have watched the Cumberbatch and Freeman Sherlock so many times! It’s excellent!

I watched years of Ru Paul's Drag race starting from the beginning.
I thought it was solidly entertaining at its best moments.
I lost interest in it after several years. It became a blur when they started to do a lot of shows and then threw in shows from around the world.
He knows popular culture. This show is a major achievement, all things considered.

Proper retired I am these days. Become a daytime television watcher, well, quite selectively.
These two relaxing half hour programmes are currently on Rewind TV:
-
Old Country, presented by Jack Hargreaves, made in the mid 1980's, looking back on the life before WW2.
Horses, carriages, fishing, rabbiting, dogs, tools, farming, pottery, smithing; back to an age when life was slow, and everyone DIY'd.
Episodes also on youtube -
Discovering Gardens, presented by Michele Brown and Giles Brandreth, made in the late 1980's.
Lovely English garden estates, with the owner-gardeners explaining and advising. An absolute gem.
Seems to only be on tv.

I don’t watch a lot of stuff, but someone just recommended Soviet Jeans to me, and it sounds good. Eight episodes, you can get it through PBS Passport.
Set in Soviet Latvia in 1979. Dictatorship, KGB, a love story, a counterfeit jeans caper. Here’s the trailer.
