Top four binge-worthy shows: The Wire, Mad Men, Black Mirror. The Good Place. Never could get into Breaking Bad or GOT.

Lately I mainly watch whatever youtube tells me to watch. My favourite rabbit hole is food consumption. It's fun watching the various diet tribes - esp. vegan and keto - go medieval on each other's asses. For some reason, Mediterranean - whatever that really is - doesn't inspire the same level of zealotry. or hate

It's like watching the Lakers and Clippers play where you can just enjoy the game. I've sort of picked a side, or at least formulated a hypothesis. But it's always subject to new information, which comes thick and fast in this field. It's clear that there's no definitive answer to the most basic of questions. How much protein? What source? Eggs - yea or nay? Fasting - how long? How often? Fruit? Fibre? Resistant starches? Everyone has an opinion, and everyone's opinion is different. But watching them feels more educational than simply watching American Dad or some such.

NARCOS MEXICO!!! Fantastic acting, cinematography and narration. Season 1 will bloooow your gaddamn mind.

The original Narcos with Pablo Escobar is amazing too but it’s more drawn out. Both must watches.

Mr. Robot is wildly slept on and underrated. It should have a place in the canon next to the Sopranos, The Wire, Breaking Bad, etc.

Fargo (all season) and Narcos (all seasons) are also excellent.
