   What is something they try to shove in movies or TV that just isn't that interesting to you?

   Mine is Poker, they try very hard to make it look interesting, but it's just not very entertaining to watch.

     In the second season of "The Afterparty" on Apple TV, they made fun of this by having two characters play intense matches of Connect Four. Made me laugh so hard.

     i love that you'll see a chess set in pretty much every movie, especially when the director wants to subliminally bump a character's smarts

     @RickiTarr @ozofriendly @Shin Completely agree! I was surprised how much it grew on me. And the genre tropes helped hide clues that were in plain sight. But honestly, I could have done without the 80's erotic thriller that was "Danner's Fire" but the rest were awesome. I was so sad that it was cancelled.
