The phrase "idle talks" appears in this ayah;

“And of mankind is he who purchases idle talks (i.e. music, singing) to mislead (men) from the path of Allaah…” [Luqmaan 31:6]

In an article about music being haram it is mentioned that idle talks are used to distract from the Qur'an and there were people in Makkah telling stories about Roman kings and they were works of kafirs. Source

So my question is, should we include tv shows or series into this idle talk definition or not?
