I was a sceptic for 10 years....


Well, I was wrong... Very wrong. Just saw the entire show this week, I can't find a flaw with the show, it's pretty much perfect. One of, if not the greatest shows of all time.

Watching the series from beginning to end... Love it one of the best series ever made.

I started a few weeks ago on DVD. I started Season 4 yesterday, and plan on finishing the season over the long weekend. Then I will watch Season 5 next week.

Like a great book I can't put down, I force myself to limit the amount of episodes I do watch so this show will last for me as long as possible (with books, I limit the number of chapters or pages I will read, so the book doesn't end!). I will be sad when this comes to an end for me.

Aside from this show, I started 'The Americans' as well (and watched the first few seasons of that on DVD before I started this one). Between the two, I can't decide which one is better - it's more like a draw for me.

Why don't I watch these shows when people tell me to at the time they're airing???

you have to watch the show atleast a second time. The second viewing is always better because now that you know where the story is going you can watch it unfold and see a masterpiece go to work.

Agree 110% , it's still rewarding the 3rd and 4th time around too

I'm gonna watch it again next year, I want there to pass some time between sittings. So I forget as much as possible.
