The TV of My Heart
Here's how behind I am on my TV watching: back in May (May, it's September now you guys) I recorded two episodes of a show I happened to scroll past, knowing nothing about it except what the one-line episode summary was for those two episodes. Just now, as I was going through my list of recorded shows and trying to slim it down, I ran across it way down at the bottom again. I thought I'd watch a few minutes just to determine if it would be worth saving to watch at a later time, or if I could delete it without remorse.
So now I've already fallen madly in love with Please Like Me. My only other experience with Australian television was the pilot of Wilfred, the original version of which was so surreal it was impossible to absorb, kind of like DEBS in a way (although I could, and did, absorb DEBS, at least to the extent that I watched, understood, and on some level enjoyed the whole thing; I did not attempt to watch another episode of the original Wilfred series). I definitely feel like there is an Australia-sized hole in my television viewing experience now, which is a problem, because I have so many other shows to watch still (Brooklyn 99! Parks and Rec! Orange is the New Black! Friday Night Dinner! Help me, I'm drowning in television!)
I know I'm going to gorge myself on this series now. It's got this feel like if The Inbetweeners was actually really sweet and sometimes sad (aside from that one time ### got his dog put down). I'm also pretty sure there's no way for this show to bite me in this ass; at worst it might get slightly disappointing and I'll lose interest. This is very good news to me right now.
