- I'm not going to be able to watch all these exciting movie and TV shows tonight. I'm not going to be able to watch Summer Love, Beyond the Spree, The Martian, Marble Mania, or Last Trace Berlin.
- Instead, I might spend my evening watching some light entertainment, such as movies and TV shows, to take a break from the intense drama and crime series.
