If “down”, try:

A video listing website.

Unfortunately, and as far as I can tell, every video streaming website they list has a maximum of 480p quality. It’s passable for basic reviews and in lieu of a for-pay streaming service, but one must remember that hard-media purchases give not just proper quality but bonus features like commentaries.

While there are other such services, this one seems reasonably complete and has an active userbase. If you know of a better or supplementary service, please contact me.

Note: This website is blocked in the UK. See List of websites blocked in the United Kingdom. That looks like a great list to find other websites.

Though an author tags along with the police because a particular detective is particularly hot, it turns out he’s actually helpful.

I adore this series, even though it gets repetitive later on.

If I get to re-watching things, I’ll add notes.

Abandoned – ABC doesn’t list it any more.

They could alternately be called metal or “alternative rock”, whatever the fuck that means.

My favourite songs are more ambient/atmospheric or focus strongly on Anneke van Giersbergen‘s strong vocals.

2007 – I lost interest in this band when Anneke van Giersbergen left.

Some people with accents drive a carriage through the snow and talk a lot.

Oh god, this was supposed to be good? If it can’t get interesting in the first half an hour then why in the fuck should I continue watching?

At a glance, there are ways but they are annoying. It’s better to use an RSS reader. I’ll check that out eventually.

I thought YouTube didn’t do RSS any more, but Brad left a comment with details. They are untested.
