Is watching meaningful social drama series forbidden?

If the series do not contain anything that violates Islamic law, such as forbidden visuals or audios, then there is no harm in watching them and benefiting from them. However, if they include forbidden matters, then it is not permissible to watch them, and one can substitute them with beneficial programs, books, and lectures.
