I cut back on my TV time last year to spend more time reading; read 60 books last year and I have finished 61 so far this year; luckily I own a used bookshop to help with my reading habit!

You also don't have to binge an entire season in one day. I'm slowly watching Sandman, think that it's better to have a few days to process an episode rather than gorging the whole thing at once.

The frustrating part about that is that for Netflix's metrics it doesn't count towards getting the series renewed as I understand it.

I was so pleased to hear that Reacher is getting a second series . . . . . . . please nobody burst that bubble if the news has changed.

Thanks to my wife making a commitment I have to keep I am doing the Three Capes Walk in Tasmania soon. So I am watching a lot less TV and listening to a lot more podcasts and audio books. It's a two birds , one stone deal.

I have a list running in my notes app on my phone, and I checked it only to realise I've not kept it up to date and now I've given up trying to watch everything. Apart from the tent pole series like Sandman, House of the Dragon etc, I'm just going with the mood I happen to be in at the time and whether or not a particular show is vibing with that mood.

I find semi reality semi documentary series like Amazing Interiors, The World's Most Amazing Vacation Rentals, Welcome to Wrexham, or How to Build a Sex Room are the wonderful equivalent of sorbet for TV for when I'm not sure what mood I'm in and can't find anything to watch.
