Barack Obama has been watching Better Call Saul, The Good Place, The Boys and Watchmen (https://ew.com/books/barack-obama-a-promised-land-interview/)

Asked by EW what he watched when he needed a break from writing his memoir A Promised Land, the former president responded: "Better Call Saul, because of its great characters and examination of the dark side of the American dream. The Good Place — it’s a wise and sweet combination of goofy comedy and big philosophical questions. And Watchmen and The Boys, for how they turn superhero conventions on their heads to lay bare issues of race, capitalism, and the distorting effects of corporate power and mass media. Oh, and the NBA playoffs — because it’s hoops!"
