Personally at my office (I'm working IT once more, though technically doing the same-ish job), people often talk TV shows - usually British ones or Netflix ones, but there's rarely much FOMO or "OMG DID U SEE" since the main Game of Thrones ended - that feels like the last time really loads of people were watching the same thing, sequentially, for a long time. There was a lot of discussion about Mr Bates vs The Post Office, a true story (in fictionalized mini-series form) about a very British and staggeringly unjust scandal involving hundreds, perhaps thousands of people who ran local post offices being fined, being fired, even being prosecuted (and not by the state - by the post office!), because of a dodgy IT system which was covered up utterly ruthlessly for like a decade. It seems like half of Britain watched that. I dunno if it'll reach the US, but if you want to see some grade "could only happen in Britain" insanity it's worth it. Also impressive because I knew most of the story since like 2013, but still came out of watching it absolutely outraged that this happened!
Sports rarely comes up - I attribute this to IT being full of nerds.
Conversations re: media were definitely more varied and interesting in Knowledge, sadly.
EDIT - For misreading lol. Words r hard.
