So we both love a good tv series. From The X Files to Millennium, Gossip Girl to the Wire, Game of Thrones to Mad Men.

Like the internet-savvy, modern couple that we are – and having been conditioned on the pain of waiting a whole week for the next instalment of 24, (let's face it, having to sit through commercial breaks during 24 was painful) – we now do not download a TV show until the season is almost complete*.
