My most recent discovery is "Long Lost Family," this British series about helping people find long-lost relatives:

Very moving (bring some tissues), and a lot of fascinating situations.
What have you been watching lately, and what do you like about it?

Guy Montgomery's Guy Mont Spelling Bee. For some reason I like comedy quiz shows like this, Spicks and Specks, 8 out of 10 cats do countdown... I preferred when Aaron was on, but only so tiny an amount I won't change my watching habits.
Also trying out Shrinking but I'm not sold on it quite yet.
I saw the first episode of Steel from Britain. It was okay but then the second episode turned some the assumptions made in the first on their head. I stopped watching. I'm also watching the first season of The Ark but again I am losing interest because it is very serialized. Towards the beginning of each episode there is some drama or event that always gets resolved by its end. I'm about to check out the The Boroughs, Pluribus and Murderbot.
Serialized dramas rarely hit for me unless it's something where the premise already matches that format, like detectives investigating crimes, or doctors dealing with patient / hospital issues.
Hope one of the next shows works out for you! I've heard good things about Pluribus but don't have Apple TV.
I get all my tv series from downloading torrent files for decades now. I would never consider a digital subscription.
I'm finding fiction on tv and even movies less interesting. What I find more compelling is reality tv shows like Call the Bailiffs from Britain and even SuperNanny. Youtube (with ads blocked) is sucking me in with police body cam videos and to a lesser degree 1st Amendment auditors.
lol, you're really emphasizing the lengths you go to to make sure no creators receive any money from you enjoying their work.
Yes, that is the way it is. I hear about a show (or movie), check if I am interested, search and retrieve. Basically if I imagine it then it appears on my pc a little while later. That is how our file-sharing networks deliver. We don't consider how it is produced and distributed. Those sort of commercial considerations are forgotten. This multimedia nirvana was predicted in the 1990s by Gartner Group research.
Long Lost Family is on ABC here in Australia every day, and after watching a few of them, I've had to stop because it's too emotionally draining. Very compelling though and the people running that show are doing a real community service. If they didn't exist, the subjects of the show would just never meet.
