Confession time.
I’m only now, for the first time, watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I’ve
borrowed the DVD’s from my friend Kylie, who has been in love with the show
for as long as I’ve known her. I’m really enjoying it, but have a feeling I
might have appreciated Buffy more when it was first on TV, in its original
context, spoiler-free and fresh. As proud as I am that I “liked Arrested
Development before Fox canned it”, I’ve also been a johnny-come-lately fan of
many classics:
Deadwood
Completely missed it. I blame Australian television programmers. Not my fault.
Fringe
I’m not too late, Fringe hasn’t been cancelled, but I’m only now getting on board. I love its X-Files-style mythology that is thus far not too confusing. And that last scene of S1? Wow.
Breaking Bad
Watched 3 seasons in 2 weeks. Where do I collect my award? Bring on Season 4! I’m ready. I’ve been waiting for so long… ahem.
The Wire
I don’t feel too bad about this one. Everyone missed it the first time around. Society's fault.
Over to you, readers! What shows are you (maybe shamefully) just discovering for the first time?
