I canceled cable service for 2 reasons: 1) commercials 2) watching 4 channels and paying for 100

Now with streaming, commercials are back and Im finding it harder and harder to locate decent things to watch.

Not sure where to turn next

I’ve got my own Plex server but I’ve seen everything on it multiple times. Time to dust off the old eyepatch and peg leg, I guess

With the writers and actors strikes this year, I think it'll probably be slim pickens until summer or potentially autumn.
