A bit weird, once the article loaded it automatically scrolled me to the end for some reason.
The article strikes me as a bit unfocused. Although I only skimmed it.
I've personally grown a bit tired of most TV shows and movies. I still consume my fair share of media, but I've slowly been shifting my focus more towards book series (or more specifically, audiobooks). I'm not interested in watching TV shows that don't have an overarching plot or direction, with the major example of this being Lost. So far my experience has been that you tend to get a more cohesive story.
If you've grown weary of watching TV, I'd suggest trying out audiobooks. You can even listen to em while you're out walking about, driving, or eating alone. I've had an Audible subscription for a few years now, and I seriously love it. Maybe I still have really shallow tastes, but so far I've found that if you pick up any book with a few thousand ratings and 4 to 5 stars, it'll probably be really good.
With that said, I'm a huge sucker for movie adaptations and I'd probably watch the adaptation for most of the books I've read. Even though they'll often butcher huge parts of the story (totally understandable, different mediums), it's really enjoyable to contrast your own imagination with that of the creative staff in the production. The most recent example of this for me was The Martian. My mental image of the main character was consistent while I read the book, but when I watched the movie I realized I hadn't accounted for the fact that he was starving.

- Broken_Hippo 10y agoI second the audiobook suggestion. It is really something that fills the gap between radio and television, and sometimes better since I fiddle with things as listening to television anyway. If someone wants to try out audiobooks and doesn't mind older books that are in the public domain, there is this youtube with hours of listening: https://www.youtube.com/user/rt20bg/featured https://www.youtube.com/user/rt20bg/featured
