Best never to mention any blockbuster series you missed when it first aired on TV. Before you can say ‘Mad Men’, the box set of seasons 1 to 60 will be forced on you by well-meaning pals who’ll then systematically bully you to watch until you too become a die-hard fan. The reason I missed most of The Wire, The Sopranos and Dexter - all currently gathering dust and still goading me from the sitting room bookshelf - is that there are only so many hours in one lifetime and frankly, no matter how ‘genius’ the script or acting, I’ve got bigger plans for precious downtime than to spend it with a bunch of Baltimore, New Jersey or Miami low lives. Who needs annoying Friends like Joey, Rachel and Phoebe? And as for plane crashes on mysterious tropical islands, write me off as a Lost cause.
