When you are just flipping through channels, TV sucks, but there is a lot of good shit available. If I didn't work, I could be entertained watching TV all day long. I get addicted to series. The ones on HBO and Showtime are normally money. I know a website where you can watch all shows free (watchseries.it). Netflix isn't bad either. Breaking Bad, True Detective, Dexter, The Wire, House of Cards, Boardwalk Empire, Californication, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Friday Night Lights, Sons of Anarchy, Walking Dead. I haven't even started Game of Thrones. I heard Suits is the shit too. There are too many to watch.
Movies are what sucks nowadays. The Superhero bullshit is ruining movies. TV is way better than it has ever been. Finish one series, watch another. A lot of them are addicting as fuck and you will watch 3-4 episodes on a lazy Sunday when you have nothing else to do. Don't waste your time flipping through channels to settle on ESPN or watch some movie you have seen 10 times.
