Qwert, a psak din was quoted here from basically every gadol in America. Look at it.

There’s also a sefer which gets into more halachik detail about television, the halachos of al tashkon, lo sasuru, putting one’s self in a nisayon, yisrael al tishmach el gil haamin, al tifnu, which sholulchan aruch says applies to novels withoit spiritual benefit(shu”a OC 307:17) there is a teshuva from the debretziner about it too, and there are common shailos about the permissibility of children to break their parents TV sets – the tzelemer rov provided them with bricks and rab belsky told me that this is why there never was a TV problem in Williamsburg.

Just think; do you want the worldview of a goy or frei jew drummed into your head as you enjoy the story snd are not on your guard to protect yourself from influence? Tv shows always have innuendos, nivul peh, embarrassing other characters, promoting bad middos even when they think they’re teaching good ones… it’s value systems which harm our hashkofos at every turn. Mishlei says “of all things, guard your mind, for from it comes life”
