Summary of "Season 2 - My Favorite TV Hooker": Once again, a satisfying season that went by all-too-quickly on DVD. I love the "play all" feature, because it just keeps the entertainment coming. My girlfriend wanted to watch "one" episode, which, of course, turned into the entire first disc, and most of the second. We only stopped because we had to meet some friends for dinner, otherwise this would have been another "season-in-a-sitting" story.
If you're like us then you can't wait for the third season, which started shooting earlier this year. (read entire review)
Summary of "Season 1 - Wowzers, Billie!": I really enjoyed this show, and I wasn't the only one; my girlfriend joined me. We went through both discs, all 8 episodes, in about 3 hours. The show just flies, at less than 25 mins an episode, and, well, the show itself is pretty interesting. I've become a huge fan of British shows over the years because they're just a little bit different than US show. The language is a bit stronger, and they don't mind showing a little bit of skin. It's just a bit more realistic than the sanitized stuff we see on the regular networks, yet not as in-your-face as some of the regular HBO/Showtime programming. I also enjoy the shorter seasons, which rarely have "dud" episodes (I think most 22 episode American shows have about 1/4 that are duds). The extras could be a lot better, but I'm pretty sure Lionsgate has their hands tied here, especially since the show is shot overseas.
Fans of Doctor Who probably already own this set, but I'd recommend it to people looking for something a little different than the usual TV fare.
One side note: Matt Smith, the next Doctor in the Doctor Who series, is a guest star in episode 6. (read entire review)
