These days where everyone is emotionally high. Deliberately avoiding anything that reflects today's state of affairs: 1. Amazon: The Boys, The Feed, Upload, Catastrophe, The Widow, Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan, The Newsroom, Homecoming 2. NBC: Zoey's Playlist <--GREAT to unwind emotionally. 3. CDW: The 100 4. ABC: The 4400 5. Netflix: Mars (only 1 season, 2nd season looks and feels like current gov state of affairs whereby the 1st season was more Mars adventure)
So much crap going on, just trying to avoid anything that reflects today's idiot run gov/policy makers. But admittedly, slowly finding it hard to avoid since every show plot always seems to come full circle to why things gets F*d up in the first place. Netflix' Mars is a perfect example where 2nd season they brought in more gov/policy/corp injustice and made it unwatchable.
If you really need to get away...mentally, found Zoey's Playlist quite touching... like sobbed in every episode it was so emotionally releasing. I was forced watch bc my wife won the night's remote control.
Bottomline: repeating what I've said above, just avoid anything that has gov/policy/corruption/corp.
My zone is best found between 7pm to 5am, usually on the couch with the laptop, and some easy to zone out tv series playing in the background. I think I've played through the Highlander and 4400 series several times just writing code. Its easier if you've already seen it, so its not really an interruption, but rather a way to keep from burning out on just staring at the computer screen.
