@FuriousMachine Glad to hear I've convinced you to give it another shot! I hope you'll get along better with it this time around. If you care about viewing orders and the like, the first season had a big mess in terms of continuity and production delays resulting in a viewing order far different from what was intended. I personally followed the viewing order someone created based on what's best for the first season character arcs while also keeping continuity intact. Here's the link to that if you'd like to use it. It worked well for me and possibly made my experience with the first season better than some! Also, do note that the first season was preceded by a pilot episode a year earlier called "The Gathering". It's a TV movie for than anything, which is why some streaming places might not include it in the full show or place it as the first episode. It does have some cast changes compared to the show proper and some people say it's not a particularly good episode, but I would advise starting with it as I enjoyed it myself.
Depending on how quickly you go through the show (if you get into it at all), it might not be that hard to catch up to me! The episode I mentioned is only the ninth of the second season, so about 32 episodes in overall. I'm not a fast watcher… maybe a few episodes a week on average, so if you're a true binger I'm sure that'd sound like nothing to you, haha!
@Tjuz Thanks for some good tips; I'll definitely make use of that link Hit a minor snag, though: It is not available on any streaming service in Norway as far as I can tell, and my pirating days are long behind me.
An old friend used to have the entire series on DVD so I will check to see if he's hung on to them and, if so, he'd be willing to part with them for a few months. I find it odd that they're not available on streaming here, though, as the show was fairly popular around these parts when it came out.
@FuriousMachine Ah, that sucks! I don't know how sensitive you are in terms of video
