I've never seen Lost, Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad or any of the rest of the mandatory drama television genre. I gave up partway through watching Battlestar Galactica and kinda just stopped watching television.
For awhile there, the only non-technical conversation I could have was "Did you see Game of Thrones last night?" "No, I don't watch that show." "Oh. Bye." Humanity's ability to talk about anything except heartburn drama television for the last decade and a half kind of weaned me off of socializing.
I've yet to watch Schindler List. I feel like it's signing up for feeling bad for 2 hours 😕
I'm also big into Sci-fi, and have yet to watch the OG Star Treks, Stargate, Babylon 5, or Dr. Who
Never watched Game of Thrones or Stranger Things. (Or countless other shows)
Star wars and Lord of the Rings
I've seen enough clips and overviews and "facts about" clips to understand that I am not interested enough to invest the time it would take to watch either series. The story of the production of Star Wars is very interesting, the actual story the movies tell, not so much.
I watch like one or two movies a year and very few TV series. I've been watching Dexter - Original Sin now, the previous one I watched was Dexter - New Blood and few years back I watched the first season of The Last of Us but I didn't like it so I never continued with the season two. Before that I watched the Chernobyl mini series and before that Game of Thrones. Suffice to say that you can pretty much name any modern TV serie and I haven't seen it. I've never had Netflix or any other streaming service subscription.
I also don't listen to radio or have Spotify so I have no clue what the popular songs currently are and ChatGPT is the only app on my phone that's somewhat new. No games, no social media - nothing. I do occasionally play DayZ on my PC but that's a 10 year old game as well. I might very well be the most ignorant person when it comes to popular culture that you'll meet all year.
I've never seen 2001: Space Odyssey, I already tried watching it multiple times, but always end up falling asleep.
Similarly, I've never managed to finish Firefly, usually watch a couple of episodes and forget about it.
Also up until very recently (less than 2 years ago) I had never played any Call of Duty games.
I can’t make it more than an hour though the first Lord Of The Rings without falling asleep. It just doesn’t fancy me.
Every single answer on this thread so far, except for titanic.
Everything other than squid game, among us and minecraft
Not quite what you are asking, but the first time I saw the video from 9-11 of a plane crashing into a building was around 2014-2015 when I moved to NYC. The people I was working with there couldn't seem to believe that I had never seen it.
