A few months ago, Mordicai Knode wrote a flattering overview of the Radovan & Jeggare novels at tor.com. One line that stuck out for me was, "Part witty banter and part brothers-in-arms, Varian and Radovan read like a cross between Gilmore Girls and Reservoir Dogs, smack dab in the middle of a sword and sorcery world."Reservoir Dogs I knew and adored, but I'd only heard good things about Gilmore Girls. When I saw the first season DVD set was on sale, I snapped it up and watched the first episode a few nights ago.
Now I'm doubly flattered by the comparison and delighted to discover this gem of a TV series, which reminds me in the best possible way of Buffy the Vampire Slayer without the supernatural element.
I love finding something like this when the complete series has become affordable. I sense a binge coming on in April once deadlines relax their grip on my life.
So thanks twice, Mordicai.
YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

ReplyDelete(Hint: Skip the last season; the showrunners were pushed off & it becomes a melodrama, no good, no good.)
Good advice. I have finally reached that level of self-control that I can and will skip that last season.
ReplyDeleteNow if I can just bring myself to take Community off the DVR and preserve my memories of the three wonderful seasons.
