Advantages: No Ads, No Cliff-Hangers, The ability to pause, Bonus Features
Disadvantages: LOST can be extremely confusing if you're not in the mood

...need to convince you that LOST is a truly incredible, dramatic, and ultimately addictive programme. The Season Two boxset is perfect for all lost junkies. The bonus material, unseen footage, and added extras all add to the LOST experience. But their are three reasons why the enjoyment of LOST is so greatly enhanced when enjoyed as a DVD box-set: > No Adverts - The most annoying thing about watching LOST on the TV was the flow of the programme ...
...end anyway. The writers of LOST are extremely good at ending each and every episode on a tantilising cliff-hanger which will make you want build a time machine in order to skip to next week's episode. > The Pause Button - Throughout LOST, there are multiple scenes where subliminal images and rapid-flash scenes are used. When I was watching an episode on TV I always wanted to rewind and pause at certain stages to see what was actually on the ... Read review

Advantages: Terrific acting from all,great storylines,many twists.
Disadvantages: none.

Season two of 'One Tree Hill' contains everything you would want from a teen drama; humour, secrets, betrayal, complicated relationships and many twists and turns along the way! The show uses basketball as a backdrop for the show, but really the focus is on the lives of five teens who live in the town of Tree Hill. Season two starts where the first season left off. New characters are introduced and there is alot more trauma to come! The show has ...
...think it is completely different and very entertaining. I would reccomend this show to anyone. Another thing worth mentioning is the music, very well selected, and in very good taste. The genre of the music is mainly alternative or rock. Starring Chad Michael Murray and sophia bush, both terrific actors and both very attractive. ... Read review

Advantages: The ending is shocking, some nice twists
Disadvantages: Treads water through the middle portion

The third series of The OC, and while still very compelling, it's probably the third best series too. The series once again centres around Ryan Atwood, Seth Cohen, Summer Roberts and Marissa Cooper. While the series is still pretty good, you can't help but feel that it's "more of the same" for the best part of the series. The storyline in which Marissa is caught up in a love triangle with her friend Johnny and her boyfriend Ryan, is very reminiscent ...
...and her friend Oliver. The middle of the series starts to drag. The introduction of Taylor Townsend as a major character gives Seth and Summer's relationship a much-needed extra dimension, but the series spends the middle portion treading water. The season really comes into its own in the final few episodes, where we see some unexpected twists and turns, and the final episode is the true salvation as we see the best and most shocking end to any ...

Advantages: Great political drama
Disadvantages: A bit dated, but still great

House of Cards, a BBC production done at the time of Margaret Thatcher's downfall, is one of the best modern political intrigue/satires done. The cast, the story, and the exacting attention to detail make this a piece worth watching and re-watching, to see what details escaped notice the first time. The Plot As the story opens, Thatcher has just resigned. There is a brief glimpse of an inner-party election for a new leader, and the moderate, middle ...
...from the roof of the House of Commons. But, there was a tape recorder running, setting the stage for the sequel... The Cast Ian Richardson is masterful as Urqhart, the scheming blackheart Chief Whip/Prime Minister. His voice, his subtle inflections and tones are perfect for the subtext in the words he speaks. His sidewise glances and knowing expressions to camera as the action plays out is worth far more than any words. He is a perfect snobbish, ... Read review
