You know, I have a confession to make.
No, really.
But you’d worked that out, hadn’t you … ?
Over the years, I’ve seen a few: on both the big screen, and — through DVD and iTunes rentals — the small screen.
I’ve another confession or two for you.
I like watching TV shows, as well.
Although, balancing a job, a (minimal) social life, and an high-maintenance blog means I don’t necessarily have the time to see everything I’d like to.
And?
And, to be frank with you, I don’t necessarily have the budget to take out either a Sky or Netflix subscription.
Nor do I necessarily want to.
There’s only so much on free-to-air channels that grab my eye. Right at the moment, Channel Four’s Humans is keeping me entertained.
So balancing finances with time … ? Is tricky.
On the OTHER hand … ?
On the other hand, the fact that reasonable priced box-sets — collections of TV series on DVD, or on-demand, and available to watch when we, as consumers, want to watch them — exist, is something I’m thankful about.
Especially if those box-sets are something I’d like to see: but — if broadcast on a TV service I don’t have access to, or that haven’t been on UK free to air TV channels for some years — wouldn’t otherwise see.
Monster hit, Game of Thrones is one.
Vintage classics, Blake’s 7 and Sapphire and Steel have been a couple of others: along with The Prisoner, I, Claudius and the original 1990s version of House of Cards.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and the remake of Battlestar Galactica were more recent sets.
But other box sets have been screaming at me: telling me that they’re worth my time.
One of those … ?
Well, if you’re going to name yourself after a kind of Victorian pulp, AND have Eva Green in a lead role?
That’s going to catch my attention.
