I'm a recent TV convert after hearing about it for years. People would talk about all of these shows, and I'd never be in the loop, considered myself a "movie guy".

But House of Cards changed it all for me. Gone through Sons of Anarchy (final episode tomorrow night!), Homeland, Black Sails, Da Vinci's Demons, Penny Dreadful, Sherlock (UK version with Cumberbatch), The Americans, and trying to find some time to buckle down and start Game of Thrones, and have started watching Peaky Blinders.

I think the production values of television really started to skyrocket after 24. From then on, TV shows have been shot, edited, acted in, and produced like movies.

Gone are the days when everything looked like a glorified soap opera.

As a rule both TV and movies today turn me off. If a TV show or movie doesn’t sicken me, it bores me—or both.

I agree. Lots of good shows on. I stream them on my iPad when and where I want. If I want it on the big screen I have a digital av adapter for my iPad to the tv. I stream movies that are still in the theaters the same way.
No reason to actually go anywhere to see anything.
