Ever get the feeling there’s too much culture?
Too many must-see movies, too many kill-for-a-ticket plays, too many join-the-queue restaurant openings, too many miss-it-miss-out blockbuster exhibitions, summer mega-festivals, era-defining sports tournaments…
There are too many podcasts, too many playlists, too many viral posts (waaaaay too many viral posts), too many hot takes and cold opens.
As for the streaming so-called “services”: we’ve long since passed Peak TV and yet still they keep on coming: sequels, remakes, six-parters, eight-parters, multi-award-winning prestige spin-offs, premieres, finales. What do you mean you haven’t seen the final season of that gripping 72-hour Hungarian-language docu-drama about the history of paperclips on BBC9? What planet are you even on?
SIGN UP TO THE ESQUIRE NEWSLETTERS
It's a superabundance of choice that leads to confusion at best, inertia, even paralysis, at worst.
And don’t get us started on what to buy. There are too many trends, too many products, too many click-to-buys and add-to-baskets.
It’s enough to make you throw up your hands and retire to your allotment with a bottle of Bell’s and an aged Beagle for company. Maybe a brick phone for emergencies.
(Actually, that doesn’t sound too bad.)
But wait! Don’t do it! Esquire is here to help, with a trio of newsletters that aims to put the contentment back in content.
Yes, we know that fighting the media glut with still more media might seem counterintuitive at best. But Esquire’s newsletters are here to buy you time, save you stress — and money — and make the right decisions for you. We’ve consumed everything already, so you don’t have to. Now we deliver our findings straight to your inbox.
First: Junk Mail, our ruthlessly edited weekly digest of the very best the entertainment industry has to offer. Each Friday lunchtime the Esquire team will recommend a small selection of films, books, TV shows, music, theatre and more that we think are truly worthy of your attention. Where we feel a big release is not deserving of your attention, we’ll point that out, too. We’ll also be spotlighting to the best of our own stuff, from the pages of the magazine and the website.
Then, coming soon: Esquire Shops, our tightly curated edit of the best stuff to buy online, from menswear to grooming to gadgets, every Thursday at 1pm.
And, one for the horologists, About Time, style director Johnny Davis’s straight-talking take on the wonderful world of watches, every Sunday morning at 8am.
All you have to do is sign up. It’s free!
