Ricky Gervais said it best. "No one is going to the movies anymore.... They're staying at home and watching Netflix".
I think the limited amount of real news has swayed our expectations of life. People also get introduced to things way too early. Porn, AOD, mental illness, death, wars.
What I noted watching the series, is that the females are stronger and dominant, like they are over compensating for their male conterparts. They are free to be dirivitive towards any topic, while being self depreciating and linking absenses of mental health. What I noted watching the movies, is that the males keep their remarks within their gender often linking to alcohol.
It is really weird watching from a different era, people my age (and older) trying to keep up with this new generation. Stranger still one of the series had an ex wife actor of the actor on one of the movies. All the viewing I did was comedy. All of the viewing had explicitly illegal activity.
Comedies are more likely to be considered okay to be watched by younger audience as the actors are comedians, it's full of stuff that is supposed to be laughed at, their age ratings are often lower. Kids are supposed to know the difference between movie life and real life. But do they?
My example is quick sand. From the entertainment viewing I did as a kid, I thought I would be struggling with quick sand often, although I never did. What will kids think their lives will be full of when they grow up?
