British Shows I’ve Watched & You Should Too:
Skins
Like Degrassi, but way darker.
Sex Education
Must Watch. Horny teens learning about their sexual orientation and feelings.
Cuckoo
It was a funny show; but I just don’t know why they would try to include an unnecessary American actor. It was a funny show without them.
Crashing
A blend of Community and Friends.
Fresh Meat
University students doing shenanigans. Jack Whitehall is hilarious.
The Inbetweeners
Four best friends doing dumb stuff.
Feel Good
Comedian going through drug, family, and gender identity issues quickly falls in love with a “straight” woman, but their relationship turns sour.
Sherlock
Twist after twist after twist after twist.
Killing Eve
Assassin is being hunted by an MI5 agent. Their cat and mouse chase slowly turns into an obsession for both of them.
Southampton, England. Sometimes goodbyes can be for the good, allowing you to start a new adventure.

Later, questions about the existence of things do of course arise, “Is there such a thing as a unicorn?” and so on.

- So one must know that the objects whose names one teaches a child by an ostensive definition exist.“ - Why must one know they do? Isn’t it enough that experience doesn’t later show the opposite? For why should the language-game rest on some kind of knowledge?
- Does a child believe that milk exists? Or does it know that milk exists? Does a cat know that a mouse exists?
- Are we to say that the knowledge that there are physical objects comes very early or very late?”
Ludwig Wittgenstein, in "On Certainty”
Let yourself go. Pull out from the depths those thoughts that you do not understand, and spread them out in the sunlight and know the meaning of them.
