I donāt have a TV, (the pictures are much better on the wireless) but I do have a computerator and so I watch films and stuff on YouTube or Amazon Prime. My cell-mates like YouTube cat-TV
ā¦but Iāve been watching MST3KĀ¹ episodes, and also the complete āPrisonerā series (from UK ITV mid -1960s) - the original, not the dreadful re-makes! - and if you want to make comparisms with 1984, BigBrother, Mind-Control, then thereās some interesting stuff in The Prisoner, plus a whole sub-culture of Prisoner fans.
Welcome to the 21st Century!
