In an AMA on Adultery Alumni Association (2018)Reddit, Bill Gates answered questions about the most pressing problems in the world, taxes for billionaires, and more. He also revealed his favorite TV shows — and it looks like the Microsoft founder isn't as cuddly as he seems.
SEE ALSO: Bill Gates really identifies with this 'Silicon Valley' character, but he has one complaintWe already knew a bit about his viewing habits: he has gushed about Silicon Valley and how he sees himself in the deeply flawed/gastrointestinal mishap-prone protagonist Richard Hendricks. He also shared some of his favorite TV shows during his 2017 AMA.
Still, the television landscape has changed, and so have Bill's tastes.
As we knew from 2017, Gates is a fan of Silicon Valley, and watches This Is Uswith his wife Melinda; the power couple apparently can't stop crying with the Pearson fam, either. Bill also wrote that he and Melinda enjoy the ABC family drama A Million Little Things.
When Melinda goes to bed, things get a little spicy.
Gates and his son are also apparently (and rightly) fans of the oft-snubbed spy thriller The Americans. Mrs. Gates sits this one out because it's "too violent for Melinda." Given Keri Russell's devastating espionage antics, that is, um, understandable.
The shows that Bill enjoys alone, when he's not blogging or philanthropizing, are even juicier.
"I watched Narcosby myself," Gates writes. Netflix's tense, violent, and sometimes too-real tale of the continent-spanning war on drugs is not for the faint of heart. Luckily, Bill not only has a heart of gold — he apparently has a heart of steel.
The rest of his favorite shows demonstrate that the dude's got range. He watches Showtime's (also underrated) corporate drama starring Paul Giamatti, Billions. He takes in the 2009-2011 network crime drama, Lie To Me. He gets weepy with Tim Riggins and queen Connie Britton during the high school football drama Friday Night Lights. He laughs at a good poop joke while also reflecting on the fractured anxiety wrought by social media during Netflix's American Vandal. And, of course, he basks in the dystopian near-future worlds of Black Mirror— which, as the guy who brought computers into many people's homes for the first time, must be fun for him.
Gates closed out the response with some #relatable content: "There are so many good shows - people tell me about them but I can't watch them all!"
Too true, Bill. Too true.
