I had this problem with Silo. I loved the books, but her constant switching between accents drove me insane. I’ll still watch it, but my wife gives me the stink eye for moaning about it. ---

The Expanse was amazing, took a bit to get into but I absolutely loved it and have started the books. Highly recommend, best thing I’ve watched in a long time. ---

And I cant get into Breaking Bad. Everyone has different tastes. According to my spouse mine are always different. My list is as follows. Americans is good. For All Mankind is extremely interesting. Peaky Blinders Game of Thrones Sons of Anarchy Battlestar Galactica 2004- Starbuck was quite the character. Yellowstone ---

> [@Pbase](#): > > I had this problem with Silo. I loved the books, but her constant switching between accents drove me insane. I’ll still watch it, but my wife gives me the stink eye for moaning about it. I loved the _Wool_ and enjoyed the first season but agree on the accent. Found it really odd. As usual, the series doesn’t live up to the books but I’ll continue to watch it anyway I’m guessing. ---

‘For all mankind’ on Apple TV. The Star trek series, all 4 of them (there could be more). I once started watching physical DVDs and then watching all of the bonus features. It’s interesting what they put in those, and some features are longer than the movie! I also started watching concert videos, like Rush, Aerosmith, Queen, AC/DC, Pink Floyd, etc… I also started watching the original ‘Lost In Space’ episodes, and it was a lot more horrific than I remembered while watching them as a kid. There is so much ‘content’ out there. Some of it really so bad, a 2 hour workout will seem to pass in minutes… ---

Beef & Queen’s Gambit are the only two series I can remember watching until the end since Sopranos and Entourage were dropping weekly episodes. I prefer non-fiction stuff and spend most of my time watching niche topics that I find interesting on YouTube. ---

Some great recommendations above. The Expanse saw me through much of my indoor rides last spring. I’m on to Peaky Blinders for this fall. I find I can pay attention to shows like this only for easier workouts. For VO2 max workouts, I stop paying attention to the show, as I’m focused on trying to keep the pedals moving. For hard workouts, POV bikes rides have worked well for me. Megavalanche videos have been some of my favorites.
