I started watching Game Of Thrones to get my mind off the sickening news.

I had to stop midway through Season 2. It' too much like the daily news and the international politics of today. I'll just keep watching MSNBC and CNN when I want to be disgusted with the human race.

1. I can see that perspective. Funny that so many think it is merely "Dragon fantasy"...

when it is actually a sociological, psychological and high stakes political exploration with aspects every bit as pertinent to society today.

It was so well done that I loved it. But it is really not "escapist" fare in the mode of Disney or other fantasy.

9. Everyone I know hated the last season. I'm glad I was put off by Season 1, Episode 2. nt

2. I have the same issue

I generally cannot watch anything violent anymore, or that involves greed. I had been watching Billions for the first two seasons, then had to stop watching it. It was just making me nauseous. Scary movies, which I use to love watching? Fuggetaboutit. Panic attack city within 10 min. I'm too on the ledge. I console myself with the fact that Trumpies generally hate celebs now, and are in self-deprivation mode, watching Andy Griffith & old episodes of Gun Smoke in the dark while sipping on pabst blue ribbon.

3. Billions is a big problem for me too. I like the actors, but the ugly reality is too dark for me.

[Clarity2]

4. Yeah

it's definitely dark. The excesses of Wall Street generally make me sick. I really did want to continue watching it because it's loosely based on Preet Bahara. It will have to wait. I stopped watching Ray Donovan too as soon as Sarandon came aboard, and seeing Voigt's a trumpy. Loved that show. But it's on my boycott list. When the two of them go, maybe I'll watch again.

5. Watch the Swedish series Occupied, note it was done 2 years before Trump

... And be afraid very afraid

6. You might enjoy "Mozart in the Jungle"

Sex. Drugs. Classical Music.

7. Because flying dragons are less scary than the 2019 potus admin.

I am not bring sarcastic. They are less scary.

8. Watch Lucifer.

4 delightful seasons. I didn't even make it through season 1 of GOT.
