Hint: watch it on phone/tab while sitting watching Antiques Roadshow with her... Lol.Well, I have little to do with mainstream TV. I cannot abide the majority of it. This place has been a huge comfort since I watched my wife die from sepsis. Taking my mind off (still) from the horror of what I saw. I met a lovely person subsequently who has also lost her partner. We work well and I actually have a pretty decent social life with her. But we live in separate houses and shopping television and posting here help me when I am alone at home and having flashbacks. She actually won’t let me watch it, so I go quieter at those times!!
If general TV (but I love it, especially with on-demand and IPTV also now) isn't your thing, I'd recommend online games against others, or my fave, online video poker (free) for chatting and social interaction when alone and needing company or social stimulation.
But your comments reinforce my idea that I had during/after COVID of a social platform needed.
Maybe I'll get on it. Watch this space.
P.S. off-topic: my fave TV programmes of 'recent' times:
LOST (was on the forums for that for a while at the time, a meta-physical, sci-fi, classical tale, masquerading as a simple plane crash on island story trope)
and currently, Severance (AppleTV, now eagerly awaiting Series2 now being pre-trailed as coming soon after the actors/writers strikes delays) theorising the repercussions if you could mentally split your home life from your work life with a brain implant, allowing you to forget the other.
As a fan of Dilbert, Office Space (comedy film based on typical tech office business shenanigans) and psychology, this hits the spot on so many levels. Also, great production design and attention to detail. Described by some as the new Lost.
Recommended for those with a psychology interest too.
