The problem with getting older and watching new TV series is that as an older person we have already experienced certain plot lines many times before. This makes it hard to get into new shows and movies.
When I was growing up my favorite horror science fiction movie was Alien. It was super scary and unlike anything I have ever seen. I think the first Friday the thirteenth movie gave me a good scare as well. These days it's a rarity that I get scared from a movie. I have seen the plot lines before and I can reliably predict the outcome of the movie before it has barely started.
The same holds true for comedies, romance, mysteries, action, just about anything really. It's not enjoyable to watch anything when you have a pretty good idea of what is going to happen. In a horror movie you already know when and where the jump scares are going to come from, in a comedy you know when the jokes are coming, we need a new medium to entertain us and new plot lines that have unexpected twists and turns.
Sadly the TV and movie industry does not cater to us older more experienced viewers. It focuses on the younger less experienced viewers which doesn't make all that much sense since it's the older viewers that have the money to go to movies and pay for online rentals and services.
I have been watching foreign movies and shows which have been overdubbed if they are speaking another language and I have to say I have been shocked quite a few times. My favorite all time foreign movie is Kung Fu Hustle, that show was so good when I expected it to be utter crap. I laughed and I was amazed at the way this show presented itself it had a crazy plot and I had no idea of the direction it was going but it ended up being spectacular.
I watch quite a few anime shows as well and being a person that enjoys drawing superheroes I can really appreciate the art style. I have also never experienced some of the plot lines so I have no idea whats going to happen. My favorite anime series of all time has got to be Full Metal Alchemist, in this show there are so many twists and turns you never know whats going to happen next, it has incredible art, and a fantastic story that always keeps you on your toes. There are two version of it and if you are interested you should watch the first version then the second, the second being brotherhood.
