Perhaps to some advantage, although some pop culture references have to be painstakingly explained to me. I don't have a clue wtf "Game of Thrones" involves nor do I care.
I never could stomach the hyper, hyper, hyper goofball jackassery. Only once cable became accessible did I enjoy some educational alternate programming.
So it annoyed the living F out of me some years back when Donald Trump was running some "You're Fired" show, and I endured getting the reviews second hand. What short clips I caught in patients rooms of the Orange assclown were nauseating to me.
I'd like to quote the late Mr Frank Zappa here:
I am gross and perverted
I'm obsessed and deranged
I have existed for years
But very little has changed
I'm the tool of the government
and industry too
For I am destined to rule
and regulate you
I may be vile and pernicious
But you can't look away
I make you think I'm delicious
with the stuff that I say
I'm the best you can get
Have you guessed me yet?
I'm the slime oozing out of your teevee set.

Do I go around telling peopel that Zappa's lyrics are elitist and misogynistic bile? Generally, no.
