I’m usually very laid back but I too find I can’t watch or read anything with a violent or abusive tone any more. I hate all those thrillers on tv that everybody raves about and although I watched the first series of The Handmaid’s Tale and loved the book, now the very thought of it fills me with dread and I haven’t watched any of the subsequent series.
Game of Thrones, Line of Duty, Killing Eve, anything featuring gangsters, I avoid them all and in doing so am probably missing some excellent drama.
So, as Chris Eubank said “I need light, and love, and laughter, not this dark heavy stuff. It lowers my frequency” and I agree. Maybe I’m just getting old ?
