How long ago did you give up TV? 😱

We still have a computer to watch films, just not endless repeats of Come Dine With Me. About 15 years?

Nice, so you have even avoided Peak TV? I watch literally... All of the shows

I have seen Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, and The Wire. They have to get to a point of total ubiquity before I will submit.

Go on, please, rec away!

I find it so vanishingly rare to find a 6 (or 12 or 24) part series that couldn't be curtailed.

My gold standard is something like the original Tinker, Tailor. Perfect length.

Funny is good. Peep Show is good. Curb is good.

I watched so much TV as a child I feel saturated.

Too busy. Thanks Simon, it's a struggle to tie the week together sometimes.
