I've got a 10 hour plane ride next week, and I'll be hanging round at the airport a lot. Any recommendations for an engaging but not too taxing drama?

Please nothing cliché or tacky eg suits, CSI etc

The airport segments of traveling long distance are the worst. Especially if you also have a connecting flight somewhere along the way.

If I was taking my own stuff to watch, my go to would probably be comic book shit lol. Watchmen is a pretty good one that's a relatively short one season show. Although pretty intense.

Not too sure of many other short and sweet series though. Apart from maybe new(ish) stuff that I'm gonna assume you've watched, like Fallout or Wednesday or whatever. What about Arcane? Haven't played the game is based on but I thought it was good, and also not 5 seasons long so far.

Movies are always an option too. These days they seem to be averaging at 2 hours or more. Good time filler without needing further investment.
