One thing that I learned once the age of box sets began is that working your way through an entire series in a relatively short period of time is pretty damn awesome. And there have been quiet a few shows I've been meaning to see for a very long time. So now thanks to a free netflix trial I will begin this marathoning process. Thus far my que seems like it will be:
Twin Peaks - A cult classic mystery with a relatively short run. Has marathon written all over it, no?
The Sopranos - This one will be a little tougher to tackle simply for volume, but without HBO I never got to see it in its heyday. It would be great to know what all those Emmys were for.
Wonderfalls - Bryan Fuller has wowed me with two of his shows, but not with the weird way he spells his first name. If he goes three for three I guess I can get over that last one.
Damages - Intense psychological thriller, check. Good reviews, check. Great cast, check. I suspect this will be one of those shows where I can burn through an entire disk without even realizing it.
The Wire - It's been hard for me to get excited about The Wire as I've just seen so many gritty cop dramas but so have the critics and they're regularly impressed so I guess I should look into it.
Additional or Alternative Marathoning may ensue with:
Chuck - I watched a few seasons of Chuck on and off. It was good. Got lost in the time shuffle but I've heard amazing things about the recent season.
Dexter - Originally failed to watch it due to channel unavailability. Been meaning to get into it for a long time.
V- I feel like I should watch this as it's the current primetime, sci-fi epic plus it has Elizabeth Mitchel.
Mad Men & Breaking Bad - Once more I feel duty bound by critical acclaim.
Any other Suggestions?
