I have a Netflix subscription. I have watched exactly 0 hours total of the items called out in TFA; am I out of touch? Am I missing something of particular cultural value?



Why would that be the logical conclusion ? Not everyone listens to pop music for example that doesn't mean we are out of touch, not seeing pop shows just means we have different tastes than the most common denominator.

There are a large variety of tastes and streaming companies cater to the segments which make enough financial returns, not just only pop culture, as long as enough people are there in the segments we like - it shouldn't matter what pop culture is doing.


Take it from me, an out of touch old guy. It doesn't matter.


No, it’s the children who are wrong.


You may want to give "Breaking Bad" a try - watch the first season to see if you enjoy it.

I'm not sure if it qualifies as "cultural value" but many critics like it. I liked it too, even though I hate almost everything. It has some good acting and writing, and a compelling storyline.


It's not on Netflix in my region so I guess I'll go fuck myself.


That is a common time waster.


I've seen the first episode of that; I should note that it was not called out in TFA ("C-f breaking" at least shows no hits).
