Netflix Marathon Sunday

I routinely get frustrated with the entertainment offerings. If I feel like something is full of gratuitous violence and/or nudity it isn't entertaining to me and frankly makes me angry. I'm not into the shock you with a rape or murder or both in the first minute of a TV show kind of drama. I don't need that negative visual stimuli and I don't know why people want to watch this on television. I often hear a show getting rave reviews only to find its just making me too sick to watch it. There's plenty of bad comedy too. I like when I find a show I can actually watch that's entertaining without gruesome visuals.

Makes it kind of hard to choose what to watch with friends because I'm not into shows like Game of Thrones or The Walking Dead. The BF and I had some time to kill this weekend and we started and stopped a few things on Netflix, Hulu and HBO Go. Wound up marathoning Aziz Ansari's "Master of None" TV show on Netflix. He's not *the funniest* guy on his own but the show felt like good watching it. Its funny and stirs the pot about some concepts that make interesting conversation. It doesn't make me feel upset or scared or angry. Its entertaining and relatable. My kind of show. I generally get caught up in cheesey shows. I do watch shows like Dr Who and Sherlock (and for some reason The Flash) but I mostly love comedies.

I have watched some dark shows like Dexter, Hannibal and Gotham but they aren't gruesome just for the shock, and its not constant gore, there's a good plot. Some comedies are way too dry, we tried to watch "w/Bob and David" and I just didn't feel the funny. There's also a short documentary "The Tiger and The Monk" that has me wanting to head back to Thailand. I think TV/entertainment is good if it gives you positive ideas. There's enough negativity out there. Especially recently. Politics literally hurt my head to hear them debate and all their "versions of the truth." Its hard to understand how some of these horrible people have fans. The same way its hard to understand how violent humans can be... I'd rather have my "entertainment" light when my "world news" is so grim.
