It's so worth it* Archived Message

Previous Message Like 6-7 years ago I watched the first 1.5 seasons but then fell off. Now I’m at the point where to go forward with the rest I’d have to rewatch all of those, which to this point I haven’t had the energy to do. Previous Message necessarily so, but it takes a while to get going. you need to get through a season and a half before it really gets moving, but once it does, it's some of the best TV ever. i thought BCS was good, but not great. i loved the wire and do think it holds up, even if the technology is so different now. the acting is absolutely phenomenal. prepare for the focus of the storyline to jump from season to season. i never really got in to mad men. i enjoyed the few episodes i did watch, but i feel like i would have gotten a lot more out of it were i more invested in the characters. maybe i'll give it another go. west wing will be your catnip. i'm surprised you haven't seen it already. watch newsroom back to back after that for the full sorkin. i only saw the first season of fargo and thought it was good. never saw the americans.
