I actually rather like sci fi movies, which are about the only ones I really like. I never really liked a lot of TV or movies, preferring to read books instead. Maybe the fact that the sci-fi is so unrealistic or unimaginable that there isn't as much focus on the logic to it because it is already thrown out the window. Hadn't really thought about it before now but its the only genre other than documentary or reality tv show that usually holds my interest.
What bugs me is when watching tv or movies is the little things like people walk into a house and no one closes the front door. Or a character that is a bit OCD about cleanliness and has been stated having it before just goes to bed leaving the living room a mess and front door unlocked. Or a character gives an opinion in one episode but later in the season does the exact opposite of their own opinion. I guess it saves time to not have characters close the door and just move into the next scene but I just keep wondering through the rest of the episode if anyone ever closed the door or if they went to bed with it wide open lol.

I'm in a similar rut. I can't enjoy realistic entertainment at all. Novels, movies, TV shows, plays nothing realistic works because I see issues with their logic. I have such a hard time watching Shameless, because I know these people are going to ruin whatever good thing happens to them. They mess up every amazing opportunity. Instead of the show allowing characters to conquer challenges and grow and shift the focus... They ruin their opportunities and don't try to better themselves.
Fantasy and sci-fi on the other hand, logic doesn't work (most of the time) because their reality is different than mine, and so my logic as an observer is different than theirs. I just can't do the same for real life.
Historical stuff makes me angry, because you see the flaws in logic and get made at how dumb these people were to do these awful things
