Hey, no need for embarrassment, it's entertainment. That gets a free pass.

I freely admit, without any embarrassment at all, to watching all sorts 
of silly things for entertainment. I've watched all of Buffy the Vampire 
slayer (twice), all of Supernatural, Lucifer, all the Marvel Universe 
superhero films and almost all of the spin-offs (Agents of Shield!), 
most of the DC superhero films, many of their spin-off TV shows, The 
Witcher, etc., etc., as well as a host of really bad SF films ('Cowboys 
and Aliens', with Daniel Craig!) (and some good (and bad) SF TV shows 
like all of the Stargates, Dark Matter, Altered Carbon, all the Star 
Treks, ...) It's just mindless entertainment. Fun. It's good to suspend 
your disbelief and just watch something outrageously silly, on a regular 
basis.

I'll check out 'Devs' and 'Invincible', thanks for the tip.
