Unfortunately, the series is not on Region 1 DVD as of yet, but the complete series DVD box set is available from Amazon UK, and can frequently be found on sale; from across the pond to your mailbox for under $40 including shipping.
Watch the first five episodes, then watch them again to see the clues you didn’t pick up on the first time around.
Some of the commentary tracks contain spoilers for future episodes and plot points, so be aware of that as you go through the series.
Subscribe to the podcast using iTunes or one of the other platforms, watch the episodes then the episodic trailers, listen to the commentaries, then listen to the discussions.
One half-hour from now, you’ll be drawn in.
And if at any point in time, you’ve got questions to ask, feel free to contact Summer, Richard and Kevin using the website contact form, or ask your questions in the comments sections of the podcasts or recaps.
