A friend of mine turned me onto the HBO show Entourage. He called it "the best show on television". This is the same guy who turned me on to Lost, so I took his recommendation seriously.

On Saturday I was in the Chinese mall in Toronto, and saw (pirated versions of) the first two seasons of Entourage on sale. For $20, I could pick up both seasons on 5 DVDs. So why not try it?

I ended up spending Saturday night, Sunday, Monday night watching the first two seasons. Its a very interesting show, and I can see why he likes it. On Monday I downloaded the third season from a bittorrent server.

And as of last night, Tuesday, I've watched all three seasons. I'm completely caught up with the show.

Its amazing really, to see in 4 days what most other people took 3 years to watch. It's really a good way to watch television, because with a well-written episodic show, everything from earlier on in the season and earlier on in the series is fresh in your mind. Ari never says "Let's hug it out, bitch" any more.

Good show. Next up, watching the complete first season of Heroes.
