I've always thought of it more as a constant balancing act where I strive to achieve 100% attention between 2 screens

Can't have a good show ruined by the second screens content being too engrossing.

Great show, always serial = full attention Good shows, usually seriel = paired with tbs gaming Decent seriel shows, any non serialized = fps gaming Nonfiction (news, sports, documentary) = "background tv" for work, socializing, cooking, etc Edit: 2 more notes "Drunk tv" = shows I don't mind forgetting an episode here and there while watching TV after a night out.

I also refuse to watch reruns so I guess that's the unwatchable tier

Fwiw, and I forget the source, but I've heard stunt people take pride in the pain shots. I'd imagine it's a "if I'm gonna fuckin break an arm for you you better use it" mentality

Answers so far have all been historical, though I'd suggest the future has some good ones too (the expanse). But I'm struggling to find examples of fully pitched contemporary wars. I can think of some really cool military style opps scenes but no full fledged army on army, multi battle, out and out "wars"

I guess the new sas rogue heros qualifies
