These stats are from public trackers only, so the actual number of downloads is actually a lot higher (nearing 1 million downloads). However, it does mean that the actual figures might be slightly higher (about 5%). Initially I also planned to count torrents with less seeds, but that didn’t add much to the total number of downloads. So I spent a week tracking the most popular TV torrents, and LOST came out on top.įor every popular TV-show I’ve summed up all the torrents with 100+ seeds one week after the release. Both companies use an automated stats collecting procedure which obviously needs some further calibration. While companies like Infofilter and BigChampagne generate daily and weekly stats, I’ve found out that these are not really accurate. I'm hoping "Lost" will have a long, successful run-if its creators, cast, and crew keep up the level of quality they've shown so far, I'm sure it will.Determining what the most popular TV show is on BitTorrent is not an easy job. Too often lately I've committed to a quality show early on ("Wonderfalls" being the most recent and much-lamented example) only to have a jittery network cancel it prematurely. There are rich metaphors and themes to be mined here, such as on the challenges of morality on the nature of communities and civilization on our relationship with nature/the environment and on spirituality, even mysticism, as well.
This isn't just a soap opera on a desert island. Part of the fun of this show will be unravelling the Island's secrets. The island is dangerous, beautiful, creepy, and undeniably intriguing. Of the four main story elements you learned in school, plot, character, theme, and setting, the latter is often the poor, neglected cousin. Even some of the cameos have featured recognizeable, talented actors (e.g. This is a remarkable cast of mostly journeymen actors with a couple of newcomers, and they're all turning in star-making work. I'm enjoying watching the various relationships emerge and develop. Just when you think you've got a character pegged, you find out something new about them that's often surprising or even shocking. There are multiple mysteries here, and for every answer we get, more questions emerge. There are several things to like about this show, but here's a quick list: 1) Outstanding, intelligent, layered writing. I missed the first few episodes, but was able to catch up thanks to BitTorrent. I was seriously considering ditching my TV and cable subscription in favour of my computer screen and broadband Internet connection. With so many high-quality shows ending or getting cancelled recently (Friends, Frasier, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel), and with the decline in quality of many others (The West Wing, Smallville), not to mention the egregious rise of turgid and tasteless "reality" programming, I'd just about written off TV as an entertainment medium.
