I [read] this amazing story a few weeks ago. The narrative began by broadly telling the major plot points. Every chapter then filled in the moments between the crucial events, distorting perception with every detail. It is a fantastic mystery thriller, masterfully written.
This story is a [tv show], but there is so little that is tv show about it.
- I downloaded the entire season from iTunes.
- I watched the chapters on my own schedule.
- The story filled 13 hours of my life, similar to a 400 page novel.
- I watched it at home on my small laptop–cuddled up in a chair, and in bed.
- I watched it on my iPhone at coffee shops and when waiting for appointments.
- The story was designed to be experienced in a linear, sequential fashion, unlike tv programs that include both a self-contained episodic story as well as a season wide story.
- It cost $23.99, around the same price as a new hardcover.
I don’t actually read novels anymore. I have a lot of fiction readers in my family and they lend me fiction and recommend fiction and ask me what I’ve read lately. I’m guessing I come across as a non-fiction design/cog studies new parent wonk, but really, I do like fiction.
I just don’t read it.
