TV Shows I stopped watching

As life goes on & we all move one step closer to death, I realise time is precious. There’s not enough time in this lifetime to watch TV shows which are “just average”. As such, in the last few months, I have cut out many shows from my life. Consider this article an addendum to this one. Below is the list

  1. Derry Girls (Channel 4, Netflix)
  2. Avenue 5 (HBO, Disney+Hotstar)
  3. Ms Marvel (Disney+Hotstar)
  4. Shantaram (Apple TV+)
  5. Upload (Amazon Prime)
  6. Hawkeye (Disney+Hotstar)
  7. The Shrink Next Door (Apple TV+)
  8. Ray (Netflix)
  9. Mythic Quest (Apple TV+)
  10. The Falcon and the Winter Soldier (Disney+Hotstar)

Going forward, I will be more careful in choosing the TV shows that I start watching.
