What to Watch When You're Avoiding the News

On the next episode of Thursday Night Geeks presented by FanSets, Trek Geeks' Bill Smith and Dan Davidson are stepping away from the Final Frontier and diving into some shows for when the real world feels a bit too...real. Titled "What to Watch When You’re Avoiding the News," this week’s livestream will spotlight some shows to get lost in, handpicked by Bill and Dan to help you escape the 24-hour news cycle. No politics, no doomscrolling—just ten solid recommendations from two geeks who know their way around a streaming queue.

Each host is bringing five shows to the table—ten total that have nothing to do with Star Trek. From brand new shows to nostalgic comedies, Bill and Dan will break down why each pick is their go-to when they need to shut out the noise and just enjoy some good storytelling. Whether it’s the kind of show you can binge for hours or the perfect background watch while decompressing, these selections are guaranteed to bring a little peace to your media diet.

Expect the usual banter, friendly disagreements, and maybe a few surprises as the guys reveal what’s been filling their screens when Star Trek isn’t in the rotation. Plus, they’ll open up the chat for live viewer suggestions—because let’s face it, we could all use a few more recommendations these days. So grab a snack, put your phone on "do not disturb," and join the conversation.

Thursday Night Geeks airs live this Thursday at 8:00 PM ET on the Trek Geeks YouTube channel. Whether you're a long-time fan or new to the geeky goodness, this episode promises laughs, comfort, and a whole lot of reasons to step away from the headlines and hit "Play."
