What is the ruling on watching a series that contains an intermittently occurring forbidden element, if I avert my gaze from the forbidden or skip the part where it appears?

It is not permissible to watch TV series that contain forbidden and objectionable elements, such as music and unveiled women. However, TV series that are free from these objectionable elements and are limited to permissible content are allowed to be watched. If something forbidden appears during the viewing and it is possible to avoid it, then there is no harm in continuing to watch.
