I think I meant to make this thread after I was entrenched in Spaced (thanks CroTeam!) but forgot or something, and then I became hooked on Friday Night Lights and remembered again, and since it's premier time I thought it would be prudent to go forward.
Anyways, have you ever gotten involved with a series, except you came to the party a season or two after it started and found yourself trying desperately to catch up, with DVDs or reruns or illicit downloads or what have you?
Recently, I burned through the two series of Spaced (note proper English terminology!) in about two weeks, but that was because they're short and it took a combined watching time of 6 hours, and after I was done I had nothing to look forward to except for future memories. More pressing in the meantime is my repentance for ignoring the television version of Friday Night Lights; 22 episodes, each 45 minutes long, and I have to catch up by October 5. Note that I'm not complaining (except, I guess, for not watching it the first time through in real time), but it is a unique feeling trying to cram in an entire mythology before a deadline.
