What I mean is a high budget TV show, made in the US, which is serialised.
The first one I watched was ‘Heroes’ which I was very excited about. Someone also made a DVD with all of s1 on it for us so we could watch ahead.
I never watched after s1, as I understand it the show moves to Cork and they have lots of bad accents.
This is probably a crap thread tbh, I imagine most people will say the same 3 shows that are actually good. Maybe I should call the thread: ‘Remember s1 of Heroes? I have some fond memories of it that probably do not hold up today’
I remember buying episodes of series 1 or 2 of Lost from ebay, torrent downloads someone had burned onto dvd, because it was quicker to get them sent out in the post than download them on 56k dial-up in my shared house.
I think, certainly the one that made a big impression.
If we can include British it would have been I, Claudius or maybe the original House of Cards? (I’m sure I, Claudius was released first but not certain if I saw it on original airing or a repeat) Would have been relatively big budget for British tv.
Watched the original run of 24 on BBC Two so probably that. Think I watched two more series but gave up when I became old enough to realise it was War on Terror copaganda of the highest order.
In my book it should be fully serialised, non-episodic TV. This is irrational on my part obviously, X-files is miles better than loads of ‘prestige TV’.
