I watched the first episode of The Following and even though it was good its not my kind of thing. Its that personal preference difference and the Atlantic channel seems to have at least one show for every taste, which is maybe why it appears so appealing.
As for the GoT, there is nothing to stop you reading the books AND getting the awesome eye candy and fast paced, jaw dropping tv series too :D

It's very over rated in my eyes. I am all for "slow burners" but I could not get into it. Lots of people I know gave up on it too, so I can only base my judgement on that information. It may be difficult to fault some of its production values, but I dare some of the production values on the twilight movies are good too, it does not make them any good either. I am not
Atlantic simply does not appeal to me. If E4 disappeared, I would miss The Big Bang theory, but E4 would not appeal to me in the slightest. The same goes for Sky 1 and, for a time, Fringe. Sky 1 could disappear and I would not care. The same goes for numerous channels, but I know others watch a lot programs on those channels and I am happy to help pay for the enjoyment of others.
I guess this a difficult subject for me as I see T.V. as a luxury I am fortunate enough to be able to afford. If VM cancelled my contract tomorrow, I would not be overly upset (HD movies would be the main loss) and I would be happy to spend my money elsewhere:) |
