I watched the first show theen it originally aired the pilot but never really got the chance to watch it. Later binge watched on netflix. I really got into the novels when I got Storm from audible. Jim is a great writter and I love Harry and his crew, but for me James Marsters performance really brings it to life for me. I drive a lot so DF is a god send for me. However I am quickly running out of books. If you haven't listen to James as Harry please do so it is a first rate performance.
