    Been catching up on a bunch of stuff I missed.

    Next up is The Affair or The Jinx.

    Which one should I watch first?

    the jinx. i watched a few episodes of the affair as it was airing and just couldn't get into it. the jinx is 6 episodes, very interesting story (although i think everything that's come out since might diminish some of the impact).

    I don't know anything about it except that it was described as a tv version of serial. I'll probably knock it out this weekend if te weather is as bad as it's supposed to be.

    The Jinx is just so fascinating. You will blow through it quickly.

    Then watch Person of Interest.

    The Affair took me a bit to get into but I was hooked mid season.

    Knocked out The Jinx with a quickness. Loved it.

    I was on a scifi kick and tried it after Battlestar and Firefly.

    I couldn't get into it.

    I watched all of season 1

    They could cut out about half of the episodes and condensed that shit. I enjoyed the last few episodes of that season.

    Just started season 2 and they go back to the "drama of the week" style stuff. Just stick to the premise of the show about homeboy trying to get back home and the Peacekeepers chasing him.

    edit: Battlestar was awesome

    I really liked Continuum if you're into scifi

    Finished the Affair and actually ended up enjoying it quite a bit.

    It's just so slow/redundant with telling the stories twice from each perspective that's it's a bitch to marathon.

    Also, still can't decide if Ruth Wilson is attractive or not
