    Half the season not wanting the burden of having to surf. Why him? He’s just wants to be a regular Dracula. Let someone else have to surf through these adventures!

    “Back in the day” The Wire came out. I love that show now, but damn. It was basically my introduction to a “slow burn.” The show literally starts with a murder, but it took me like 2 weeks to stay awake through the first episode of season 1. RIP Snot Boogie.

      Yeah, it started slow, but the last half of season one was fucking tense. I saw it almost ten years ago, and I haven’t gotten to the other seasons yet, because I know I’d have to block off a week on my calendar, and that’s not an option right now.

    I feel like a whole generation of writers were told that in medias res was a worn out trope and they all fled to the extreme opposite.
