No, not me. It's on the new releases of Instant Netflix though. Maybe I should check it out. I've always had a fascination with Portland and want to live there someday.
The last shows you'd have seen me talk about would either be Sons of Anarchy, Boardwalk Empire, Walking Dead, or Mad Men. All of which are amazing. I hate channel surfing style TV, but when it comes to quality original programming, I get obsessed. One thing that most people don't realize is that it's much more a writer's medium than film.
A film script gets written and then the producers have to take off their sunshades to read it, then they change every arbitrary thing they can. Then the director gets to change it to his own vision. Then the actors complain and witch things around. By the time your script is realized on screen, well... It isn't yours anymore. This is why movies that are written and directed by the same person usually comes out so much better. Purity of vision. He/she can throw some weight around and make the movie that they ACTUALLY wrote. In TV, you have a group of people who are the actual writers instead of a group of people from different roles all with their own individual input, becausee the writer actually are the producers.
