I don't know if I'm just growing old, but I now appreciate the quality of movies and TV (up to about 2010) more and more.

Or rather, I've taken for granted the quality of movies and TV shows that came out every few months or weeks back then.

But now, I try to find something to watch just to wind down over a beer in the couch, and all shows are literally shit.

These story lines are really banal or the acting very amateurish or plot lines uninteresting.

How the fuck do people watch this shit and why are they willing to fork out a few dollars a month to pay for shit?

What the hell's happening here people? Have all stories been already told that it's hard to come up with new ones? Is it the cultural marxism that's constricting the writers and director's ability to come up with interesting stories? What the fuck's happening here?

I was on Netflix for a while and they had decent content but in the last few years they dropped the good stuff and starting putting out political signaling or trash content. Moved to HBO and burnt through the interesting stuff in the last year. Been noticing a bunch of the new content is trash or re-uploads of old movies, or political signaling as well. I'm wanting to finish up here and look at something else but I guess most of these services are the same.
