I feel like I can just roll with whatever and adapt to new realities as needed. There are plenty of new, enjoyable hobbies away from crowds I can pick up. For one, I’ve been learning a new language, using a combination of textbooks and free apps.

In February, I happened to sign up with MHZ Networks, an over-the-net LARGE collection (> 50,  maybe 100) of European TV series, from a number of countries.  Good way to work on at least understanding any of a variety of languages.  (The subtitles are actually good, not just literal translations.)   My wife & I watch a couple of hours every night, and I'm not one to watch TV.

Did you see A French Village?

We watched one episode but had other shows that match our tastes.   We're more inclined toward the mysteries.
I forgot to mention that since there are typically many episodes available, you can binge watch if you want.  No waiting for next week or next season.

On binge watch during SiP front, I highly recommend these series:

1.  The Night Manager (1 season);

2.   Berlin Station (3 seasons);

3.  Broadchurch (2 or 3 seasons);

4.  The Tunnel

5.  The Last Kingdom (Uhtred, Son of Uhtred).  GoT light, but entertaining.

Less enamored with, but still pretty good, The Forgotten.

Based on most recent Emmy's, I dove into Succession.  Really disappointed.  Maybe it's just I'm so turned off by the lifestyles of the Uber Rich and Uber Obnoxious.  But even putting that aside, there isn't a redeeming character in the series, as far as I can tell.
