A good friend just recommended Heroes and Californication to me. Both TV series. I try not watching a lot of TV... because if I followed Stuart's `Revealed Preference' Theory, I would just be watching TV all the time.
The various series that have been coming out have been of a really high quality in my opinion. I actually prefer them to movies. For years I have been a Smallville fan, and when `Superman Returns' came out, I was actually very disappointed. I think it was because I was comparing the two. Like comparing books to movies, that is pretty much a pointless exercise.
Series have the ability to develop characters that a movie can't do in just 90 minutes. Some movies do it, but it is still an impression. The good ones make a peircing impression that makes you feel like you know the characters. With series, they can do it over time.
Anyway, it seems I am now hooked on two more series... Heroes and Californication are very very cool. Yup, I know, Heroes is old... but I ration myself.
My favourites are Prison Break, Greys, Rome, Smallville and Dexter.
