I’ve always had a problem with the ad breaks on TV. Moving to the US from the UK was a test of of my TV ad endurance (re quality as well as quantity) and eventually I watched very little TV.

I like documentaries and investigative reporting, but in the US these shows are especially torturous for me with the recap segment after each of the several ad breaks. Many one hour shows only have about twenty minutes of content. PBS is good, though still sometimes a bit long winded.

Then along came Netflix. Fortunately over the course of two years. I’ve watched just about everything I like on Netflix and can take a break from it now to get on with life.
