TV Series Picks August 2013

Some of us may not realize right now but 
I think we are in the golden age of television.

I used to silently and meekly nod when people would say 
in an erudite tone they do not watch television as it is all rubbish 
but no more.  

I can't pinpoint when the tide changed but I hardly go to the cinema anymore.  How the heck does anyone expect me to meet someone and then care about their lives after only spending an hour and a half with them??

 I think it started with the Sopranos and Sex and the City when we started connecting directly with people on shows like they were our actual friends.

 I know I complained about Don Draper in the latest series of Mad Men but we go way back people.  

And don't forget people change and he might come good again okay?

I have become one of those box set people.  
I immerse myself and the TV version of Spock beams me to various time portals and helps me do some tele-visual astral travel.  For instance, I am saving Game of Thrones for the next British winter so I have something to look forward to and balance the ecological real world misery and enter a sci-fi world to escape the cold.
