Anyone else ever do this? It's a pretty jarring process with The Sopranos, because of the years between the series and the way that you see the characters grow old incredibly rapidly — like those sped up films of blooming flowers etc— but it's also a pretty great way of watching TV because it really intensifies your relationship with the characters. My reasons for doing this were 1) unemployment and 2) not being able to get regular TV in my flat, which means I have to download everything I watch 3) wanting to see what was the better series: The Wire or The Sopranos. I'm actually siding with The Wire, but there's really not much in it. All thoughts on TV-viewing strategies and The Wire vs The Sopranos throwdown welcome...
