Media Discovery without Ads

So I just stumbled across something called Occupation: Rainfall, which is SciFi, made in Australia, set in Australia etc etc, so it ticks a lot of boxes for me.
Apparently it is a sequel to Occupation, and regardless of how these things actually rated with reviewers, I feel like I've missed something by being unaware they even came out.

And this is almost certainly because I've made a concerted (and broadly successful) effort for over a decade to avoid ads.

How does everyone here find TV, Movies, Music etc that may be of interest to you?

Just turn on the idiot box and put up with the spew?
