Television is boring in my country (The Netherlands) it's plain, compare this to US television and it's in your face. Completely different dynamic.

Maybe it's me because, I have weak spot for other countries than the one I love in. But Germany is boring too.

Social media hits me harder and there again a lot of people from different countries that aren't boring. (I have no way define boring, it's personal.)

In Australia, we call this 'cultural cringe', and also express strong preferences for foreign produced media.

I personally would rather stare at a blank wall than read fiction by local authors- it is always too familiar a setting and doesn't provide the escapism I am looking for.
