This is an occasional watch for me--so depressing; the episode I'm watching now, "America's Medical Supply Crisis," has me in tears and I'm only five minutes in--but it is always well-done and timely. It's a great resource for middle and HS teachers, too--with links to additional classroom materials.

Not my favorite way to watch tv but I can watch all of this year's episodes online, most of the rest via my library system.

Frontline: America's Medical Supply Crisis

I've always meant to watch The Wire but it was on one of the premium channels back in the day. I could probably get it from the library, although the way they package an entire TV series together now, I'd have to check it out a couple of dozen times to get through it all.

If I get engrossed in a book, I'll stay up half the night reading, but I can only sit through at most a couple of hours of television before getting restless--or sleepy, depending. I fell asleep in the middle of an episode of something last night.
