Feel like switching to something lighter than the news? Watch Idiocracy (hopefully rewatch) and try to guess how much is yet to come.
I rewatched Idiocracy last fall. It’s much less enjoyable than watching it as a teen in the late 2000s because its so real now.
Kinda like how WWII docus aren't as interesting, amirite?
Depends on what you like. I'm not really into WWII docus, though I fully acknowledge the necessity to know about it.
I tend to prefer fantasy (including science fantasy) type stuff, with or without major antagonists, and I think a major part of that is I can see real life tragedies every day. I dislike rape in storytelling as well.
Now that's my personal desires, but it doesn't mean I think people who do like real life drama type stuff are weird or anything. There are probably benefits they feel from it.
I also have no desire for bad or downer endings. Bittersweet I can like and be fine with, and sure, some happy endings are too "sweet" or unrealistic, bur I still prefer those ro "everyone dies and it was ultimately pointless" endings.
