I feel like since i mostly watch tv as a form of escapism, the characters not constantly having to worry about money is a relaxing factor for me.

I'm not a fan of watching the rich and powerful. i avoid those shows when i can, although there are exceptions that draw me in for other reasons (Bridgerton with its sex-positive attitude for example). I like shows about average people. I'm okay when those are then shown to have an "average" amount of money, and not a debilitating lack of it.
