There are really quality TV shows, and films on streaming, out there.

Giving up TV is no different from giving up reading literature, or listening to music, or whatever artistic experience you want to have.

Watching a TV show like Adolescence is no different from reading great literature. And fortunately, there's so much great TV from the past couple of decades, you don't ever have to watch bad or brainrot TV if you don't want to.

There's nothing noble about trying to abstain from that.
