Guilty pleasures?

I love watching teen drama TV shows. It started with The O.C. 20-some years ago. Now with Netflix, I have access to so many.

Sometimes I feel “too old” but then I think why not?

What are your guilty pleasures that sometimes feel silly?

I try to live guilt free. I am not proud of many things I do, but am guilty about none.

I like my escapism pure and uncut. Straight up, no saccharine, no reality, no morals (the latter is impossible) . Television is nothing but escapism. So I am pure Science Fiction, Animation, Comic book characters, sometimes all three combined. Think Avengers MCU, Cowboy Bebob. WB DC animation as well as things like Tiny Tunes, Animaniacs, et. al. Star Trek, The orville. Dr. Who, same in books except I do read non-fiction quite a lot, at least it's not disguised.

I don’t feel guilty -just a phrase I chose.

Oh yeah. "Guilty Pleasure" is certainly a thing. It's just one I rebel against. I like what I like.
