Cancelled Netflix a long while ago, but made sure to watch the first 3 seasons of Arrested one last time before I did. :p
The wife and I have been mostly going back and watching television shows from back before they all became 100% propaganda, such as various sitcoms from the 80s and 90s. Also been rewatching some of the under-appreciated greats like Community, which was hilariously critical of extreme wokeism, and definitely wouldn't be aired today.
There are a few exceptions for new media however, that I would recommend to anyone looking for content that isn't god-awful (99% of new movies and television). Both Ted Lasso and Mythic Quest (on AppleTV+) are great.
Ted Lasso is a surprisingly positive "heartwarming comedy" with virtually zero Leftist propaganda (one comment in an episode about "American Imperialism" over a plastic army man, but it actually fit the context and was not a recurring theme). The gist is a rookie American Football coach from the Mid-West goes to the UK to manage a FC knowing nothing about the sport. Everyone wants to hate him, but he happens to be the nicest guy on the planet, so they can't. I wouldn't call the show family friendly due to the language and innuendo, but I definitely recommend it for the adults.
Mythic Quest is somewhat like a Silicon Valley that takes place at a successful video game company. If you followed It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia, then you probably know that Rob McElhenney (creator and actor in both) is one of the last hollywood folks who hasn't been brainwashed -- and it shows in both series. Extremism on both sides of the spectrum get criticized and satirized on the show, and while it's clear it's not a "conservative" show, it's at least (like Always Sunny) intellectually honest about both sides (including a great rant in a recent episode of the second season pointing out the BS in "the straight white man is keeping me down" narrative). I would describe this as a "Millennial comedy" similar to Silicon Valley, though it's not quite as crass as the latter, it's definitely more so than Ted Lasso.
