HMMM that's a very good question that I don't have a very good answer for, partly because I just don't watch/read as much these days and partly because I'm a little picky lol. But thinking about the specific pieces of media that I like, there are some trends:

I dont watch a lot of tv tbh but most of the time its actually murder of the week type stuff like criminal minds or og csi (ill rewatch them every few years) and lately I've been liking high potential quite a bit. Yes it's copaganda but I like a little murder mystery lol. Im terribly behind on the few anime I watched but I have a soft spot for the nostalgic stuff from my teens. I also loved political animals and ive been meaning to watch kings. I don't watch much political drama (or drama in general) but sometimes I think I'd like it. I've never watched got but if there was one thing to make me want to, it'd be the fantasy politics.

A lot of the video games I love have that kind of thing going on, too. I love several final fantasy entries and those are often rife with it. For games, I tend to like rpgs with an interesting lore/world. I love far cry 4 for both those things, too.

For movies, I do love horror but specifically a kind of like creeping dread type. I loved keeper, night house, and the ritual. Also more anime, Akira, lupin, mononoke. I was big into the mcu during phase 1 and ca:tfa is still of my favs tbh. I like superhero movies when I can surface from the like, mcu fatigue.

Aaaand books/comics. I don't read as much ink and paper books as I do fanfic lol. There's a couple manga series I like (seinen mostly) and I have a bunch of junji ito books. I used to have a few volumes of hawkeye 2012 and I wish I had them back lol, I'd like to get more into certain marvel stories/characters. I love hamlet specifically but ive read two other Shakespeare plays and would like to read more.

I don't think I answered your question at all and instead just listed a bunch of stuff I like lmao, but as you can see it's a bit of a mixed bag so it's difficult to pin down a Favorite genre. But it was really fun to think about, thank you for letting me shout out my favs 🖤
