With the whole Hollywood strike going on it got me thinking - there is SO much content that if something weird were to happen whereby no more movies or TV shows were to ever be made, I'd be fine with the sheer amount of content that has been generated up to this day. Like, if some weird, I don't know, space temporal displacement happened whereby Hollywood (or hell, anyone - BBC, Australian TV, etc.) were able to make anything else then there is enough content available for a lifetime regardless.
Obviously in saying that it would mean an entire industry would be out of work permanently... so this hypothetical situation has massive economic pressures as well. But still... this strike could go on for years and I'd still be playing catch up.
Sadly I'm on rewatches because I watch way too much content and have gobbled up just about every half decent show/movie in each genre I like. In good news.. new Justified today woo!
Rewatches are also great - I want to go back and watch things like Legion, as that's definitely a show that I feel would give a huge amount of benefit the second-time around. I'm also on my third run of Shorsey which I watch when doing cardio, and that's only after running through Letterkenny a secondtime.
I saw you mention Justified the other day and hadn't heard of it, but I'm going to start that soon. Looks like a really cool show, and I love the idea of a neo-western, too.
Justified is brilliant, I just finished a binge watch of the original series. Justified: City Primeval starts soon (today I think actually). Really looking forward to the new series, set in Detroit this time. Raylan is back but I think the rest are new characters.
