A friend says they can never find anything good to watch. What advice would you give them?

A natural way to answer

I'd suggest they narrow it down first. Decide on a mood or a genre before they even turn it on, otherwise the choice is overwhelming. It also helps to ask people with similar taste, since recommendations usually hit the mark better than random browsing.

Key phrases to use

• give something a go — try something to see what it's like“Just give it a go and see.”
• bail on it — quit or abandon something part-way through“It got boring so I bailed on it.”
• hit the mark — be accurate or exactly right; succeed in its aim“Her recommendations always hit the mark.”
• fall back on — use something reliable when other options fail“It's good to have a film to fall back on.”
