As a fellow 34 year old, no. Most movies these days are way too long and boring. Most shows it's tough to watch even a full episode in one sitting. Let alone binge a season.
I think, for me, it's because there's just too many things on my mind. And a lot of stuff just feels like it isn't worth my time. Why am I sitting here watching a dumb thing that kinda bores me when I could be working on any of the multiple dozens of tasks on my plate?
The only thing that works is getting a little high. Because you do need to give your brain a rest.
For reading books, audio and going on a long run is great. I read dozens of books per year that way. It's great and far less boring than shows.
