I have been described, upon occasion, as a tad impatient. At times, I think I exhibit lots of patience, especially at work, with my son, and my husband. I'm not particularly even keeled in this aspect of my life - I either can wait for a really long time, or I want something NOW.
This is best exhibited with television shows. I love a good storyline, with a complex plot. I also like silly comedies with bad laugh tracks. What I love best, is the ability to watch an entire series in one sitting, so should I decide to devote time to it. This is how I watched Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Firefly, Sex and the City, and countless other shows. Corey and I are working through The Wire (actually on loan from a friend on dvd), and Star Trek TNG. This is one reason I gladly play for my netflix subscription. It's so much easier than loading dvds....
But every once in a while, a show comes on and I will love it so much that I will watch it, and wait, week after week for the new episode. Most notably in this category of shows are Bones, Castle, and Sons of Anarchy. Growing up, I always felt that my teachers, especially English teachers, had a certain disdain for television. I'm not certain if it's the prevalence of television, the decline of modern civilization, or better writing for shows. Perhaps a bit of all three. I do love watching for allusions though, and it's really interesting to watch Sons, knowing that the writer intended it to mirror Hamlet. Sure enough, just like Shakespeare, it's all drama all the time...with lots of gratuitous death. Perhaps that's why I like it so much, that and all the eye candy.
You would probably like 'Breaking Bad' and 'Lie to Me'
ReplyDeleteI also watch a lot of Netflix. Just finished an anime called 'Fruits Basket' which were all insanely sad =(
Currently watching Chobits which is decidedly more lighthearted.
Around January every year I watch Battlestar Galactica again.
