Series ingestion

Long gone are the days of keeping tabs on what was going on behind the facades of Ramsey street or in a Summer Bay beach house on a jobless noon rise. Gone because of circumstance and gone because television went and changed, different shows got us hooked back then, mostly sit-coms I feel and even semi serious shows were injected with humour. There were your Cheers and Roseanne style shows, easy to follow, missing one wouldn't leave you in a tailspin of confusion and they filled most tv sets come 6 or 7. Other shows demanded they be more keenly followed, I would say Northern Exposure is a good example of this crossover and we all tuned into Quantum leap. Please message me more examples of game changers, it is interesting. British staples as examples when serious drama was to be addressed would be Casualty and the Bill. Correct me if i'm wrong here but I feel it all started to change around the X files, the advent of the box set. Shows put together with an end further than a season or two in sight changed the way we watched television. Which leads us to now when there are series' left, right and centre, sometimes three seasons deep already before you've even dipped a toe. We are all chasing the next Soprano's, the next The WIre. Well tonight I have a little time set aside and a toe free to dip. Following a Mark Jackson tip off and because of the impact these three things had on me as a youth...







I'm going to give this a chance...



Abrams has two episodes waiting for me, any hint of funny business...



and I'll watch it religiously to the end and then realise it was all just a dream.
