The strange appeal of Slow TV

Watching television has become an increasingly urgent hobby. The faster you power through the just-released season of "House of Cards," the sooner you can get to "Bosch," which you've heard is pretty good for a police procedural, and besides, it's only 10 episodes, so you can finish it by Wednesday, giving you just enough time to catch up on "Game of Thrones" before the Season 5 premiere on April 12.
