I recently started watching this awesome new TV show called “Suits” – it’s a sort of legal comedy drama about a college dropout with extra ordinary memory skills who stumbles into an interview session for a big law firm and succeeds in convincing the senior partner conducting the interview to hire him as his new associate. The pilot episode of the show is available for free on iTunes (US).
I am not a TV junky and I don’t really watch much of TV, but earlier this year I got the whole of Battlestar Galactica on bluray and it was fun to watch it though it sucked a crazy amount of my time, I think that it is much nicer to watch a current show because you get to enjoy the experience over an extended period of time and get to digest it in a “healthier” manner than just the way you would do it by swallowing the whole thing in one go.
I experimented with renting shows and movies from iTunes and I thought it was great because you just pay to watch the item during a specific time frame and then that item gets deleted, unfortunately Suits is not available as a rental and you have to pay to buy an episodes, I would really rather just rent it if I had the option to do so because I doubt I’ll ever watch the same episode twice and I don’t know where to store all these episodes after I watch them, but I don’t have an option so I’m buying them.
One really annoying thing that I have to mention about buying or renting stuff from iTunes is that for some stupid reason you can only watch HD content on the primary screen of a Macbook and not on any attached screen to it because of DRM, so if I download an tv show in HD quality I can’t watch it one my 24″ monitor which I use as my primary computer screen. It is really annoying. I have decided to download the standard definition version and watch it on my bigger screen than download the HD version and watch it on my 13″ Macbook screen.
