Oh, I miss FRIENDS.
Chasing Cars - Snow Patrol."
I'm on kind of a Friends marathon. Watching all the episodes from the start :D

Summary : The first three episodes in an episodic novel series.
Michael Singleton, 26, is a writer struggling to make it out in Hollywood. Homeless and down to his last dollar, he has a final meeting with a production company interested in hearing his pitch on a show about a writer. Their response? Who wants to watch something about a writer. Years spent pursuing his dream come to an end when he finally decides to return home to Cleveland, Ohio a failure.
Alek Vitsin, a 51-year-old business owner in Cleveland finds his life lacking. He has a smart and beautiful wife, great kids (they're teens, so they can get on the annoying side) and a thriving business empire, still he can't manage to see it for what it is--perfect.
A series of strange events and even deadlier circumstances bring these two men on differing journeys together and bonds them in unforeseen ways that challenge the paradigm of fan and artist. As they each seek a legacy to call their own, they must discover how to navigate each other through the twists and turns that life throws their way, a feat made all the more difficult because of Alek's main occupation--the biggest druglord in Ohio.
A gripping drama/action/suspense/thriller/literary hybrid in the vein of Breaking Bad, Hannibal, Death Note and Game of Thrones, The Writer takes the reader through a weekly episodic journey through the increasingly perilous and gruseome lives of Michael and Alek as they become more interwoven, dragging the titular character through a morally ambiguous descent into the macabre all in the name of art.
Though explained more in the book and in episode 1, this is a weekly novel/novella series consisting of 60 (digitally measured) pages released every Friday similar to a TV show. It is important to READ THE PREFACE to understand the author's thoughts behind this. This is a compilation of the first three episodes, all of which are individually published as well. If you'd like to know the plot of each one, you can view their own page by clicking on the author's name above.
