People read certain episodic reviewers because they want to have a virtual conversation with somebody who's as obsessed with a show as they are. I already know the plot and how it all ends so I wouldn't be worried about spoilers. For the re-watch, I would know what to keep an eye out for. ![]() Why? Because the book describes various camera shots and other interesting film-making stuff that I totally missed.

I read the corresponding chapter in the book after watching each episode. I definitely wish there was a book like this for every series that I watch. UPDATE: Just finished watching the series.
