Anyone who's Into that genre will surely enjoy It.

The majority of TV series are 30 minutes, which Is way too short. You'd want at least an hour of viewing to kick back and relax.

What puts me off from watching shows on TV, Is the ads. Every 6-7 minutes (or less) they throw In multiple ads that're so annoying. That's the major reason I stopped watching free to air TV.

Ditching free to air TV was the best thing I did.

In the very near future, I'm planning to dedicate time at least once every second day to watch a TV series, but on the net without ads. I think It'll be a nice break from computing, and will also replenish the mind. No prizes for guessing what my first show will be - you've talked me Into It.
