Slow down, FanFare, you move too fast.

Direct from Norway, Slow TV is now streaming on Netflix.

In the past, Slow TV has generated a lot of discussion on the blue. Would anyone want to discuss/celebrate these plot-free epics here?

I'm watching Train Ride Bergen to Oslo right now and the train just left a cute small town and went into a tunnel and so there's like thirty seconds of complete darkness and faint chugga-chugga sounds. It's the best thing ever. Or perhaps I'm just easily amused.

I just came to Fanfare to see if Slow TV has any threads. So - enthusiastic yes here!

Fantastic! It may take me a few days to get a post together. I don't want to rush things.

Just an update: I have tried to post, but FanFare seems to be rejecting the IMDb link. I sent an email to the mods, and they're investigating.
