I got to the point where I don’t consume much TV or film. I got tired of tropes like twists, subverting expectations, meta references, and just overt references to appeal to certain groups of fans. Much of it feels so so tired. There’s the occasional thing I watch that impresses me, but I don’t finish watching most movies, I start and give up a few minutes in.

I crave a simple straight forward story, that feels rare and special today.
