First off, probably don't date a 24 year-old. I realize there is no strict correspondence between age and taste, but I'm 42 and my wife is 41 and, well, our shared experience is quite a bit more similar. She can relate when I get nostalgic about the 80s and 90s. She even reads! Complete novels, more than she watches TV. She doesn't have TikTok or Instagram. It is entirely possible to go full-time mutual old people yelling at clouds in a blissful bubble in which the river of bullshit may as well not exist, but probably not if you insist on staying cool and regularly interacting with young people. Second, watch the rest of Dark, Better Call Saul, and House of the Dragon. Don't watch the last two seasons of Game of Thrones. Just pretend it ended at 6.
