Hello,
The value of watching conscious entertainment is that you can keep your mind focused on practicing Love even while relaxing. Also, by watching other people try to practice Love, you gain valuable insights: You learn from their mistakes, and even get inspired by their successes.
The opposite of conscious entertainment is ego entertainment. Ego entertainment is about people acting out unconsciously, motivated by their egos. It’s entertainment about people being bad to each other without trying to be better. Our egos love watching other egos hurt, maim, abuse and steal from people. It’s how ego survives in our minds and our world.
Overall, I recommend watching a 75/25 ratio of conscious entertainment to ego entertainment. You don’t need to stop watching ego entertainment altogether (it can be a good lesson in how not to be)—you want to watch less. To do that without cutting entertainment out of your life, you want to watch more conscious entertainment.
This post will be a running list of my conscious entertainment recommendations:

Lastly, if you’d like help cutting down on ego entertainment but are struggling, consider buying The Coaching Edition of my book, The Practical Guide to Becoming Love. In The Coaching Edition, I have an exercise to help you reduce ego entertainment slowly and incrementally using The Become Love Stand-up Meditation Technique, which will help you stop self-sabotaging. That's right, watching ego entertainment is one way you self-sabotage your progress toward becoming a more patient, forgiving, grateful and compassionate person. So check out The Coaching Edition when you’re ready to get serious about becoming Love.
