Season 1 was brilliant from start to finish because there was a proper ending.

For that reason I didn't see any reason for watching Season 2 but this is the 1st time I've heard of Season 3, they sure are milking it.

Mother! is certainly thought provoking.
It reminded me for some reason of "The Day Of The Locust" in it's bizarre and violent ending and it's dislocating narrative. Also in the fandom that brought both to an insane climax.
Probably not a date movie though.

Mmmmm. I've just no interest in a Jessie Pinkman story.

johnny_ultimate

I have no more interest in a Jesse story than I did in a Saul Goodman prequel series. But that’s gone on to be one of the absolute best television series I’ve ever seen, and IMO arguably even a superior effort to BB (they’re both ****ing great of course). Honestly I simply love the feel of the BreakingBadVerse - the various elements are so stylistically assured (I’d straight up put both series up there among TV’s greatest visual accomplishments) and set in such a distinctive, individual world that I above all else still look forward to spending time in it. Not ruling out this being a step too far, but Gilligan and co haven’t let me down yet.

I always like Saul Goodman though. One of the absolute best characters in 'Breaking Bad'. So, a TV show about him was, at least, intriguing, even if I had no idea what they were going to do with him.

On the other hand, I've never liked Pinkman and found his incessant wigger talk and mannerisms to be...extremely irritating...to be very polite about it. I was so hoping he'd bite the big one along with Walter.

Agree completely on the top status of both 'Breaking Bad' and 'Better Call Saul'. Absolutely excellent tele.

Shred

Yep, since the beginning I’ve been unsure whether this was necessary. But I’m a huge fan of the show and Vince Gilligan; if he thinks it’s worth doing I’m all in.

Fahrenheit 11/9 is both interesting and rage-inspiring.

A few different strands of Moore's crusade forced together, but still; both interesting and rage-inspiring. The greatest nation on earth? Even an ex-army vet gets it right; "just coz we can whoop everyone's ass doesn't make us the greatest nation on earth" (or words to that effect). It's a bit ham-fisted, but very watchable and enjoyable.

extra gravy

Started watching Victim Number 8, good so far.

Homelander

I also would've been entirely unsure about a BB movie until I saw Better Call Saul, a show I thought was totally redundant and destined to fail...only for it to go on to become one of the best TV shows I've ever seen. Hard not to have faith in Gilligan.

I dunno if it's been out in Netflix long but "Blue Velvet" is exceptional stuff from David Lynch.

I loved the character of Jessie Pinkman. I thought the development of his and Walt’s characters dovetailed in opposite directions.

He starts off as a stereotypical “punk” who is totally one dimensional as a character but an obvious need a vehicle for Walt. As the show goes on he becomes a much more complex character and one of the few sympathetic characters left.

Walt went the other way imo. Starts off as a complex frustrated joe soap, struggling to make ends meet and make himself heard until his diagnosis where he finally feels awake and slowly becomes Heisenberg.

Don’t get me wrong, I loved Walt and watching him transform and his escapades were some of the best tv I had ever watched. He did become more and more one dimensional towards the end imo.

Really looking forward to it.

budgemook

I never really got in to better call Saul - he just looked too old for a prequel story. I gave up after a few episodes, maybe I'll try it again sometime if I ever feel like I have time.

A single sequel movie though - I'll definitely be watching that.

Charlie19

I loved Saul's character in BB but couldn't get into the spin off and I did try, I watched around two seasons of it.

Taiga

Just finishing up on Glow, really enjoying it. But Inside No.9... Two episodes in and loving it. 2nd ep had me in stitches. Kind of thing I'll be giggling thinking about it tomorrow.

Itssoeasy

I know I'm way behind the pack on this but I'd seen Mindhunter on netflix for a while and then saw it had new episodes up and decided to watch it, and three episodes of season 1 in I'm really really liking it. It's something that looks like you can get your teeth into.

Simple Favour is just simply brilliant.

I wan't expecting much but it turned out to be great.

Exactly the same here, joined the party late, 3 episodes in and I really feel it could have legs

dude is a bit like Luie CK, takes it to extremes not tip toeing where he would care about offending someone or just making fun, just gives it straight.

I feel like Dave Chappelle occasionally makes interesting points but rarely makes me laugh.

Just started and finished Mindhunter season one over the weekend. It's fantastic, would definitely recommend. Casting is fantastic imo.

Launching into season 2 once the kids are in bed tonight.

Antony Starr is excellent in this, took a while to place him from Banshee.

Fan of Netflix

Wallander a British/Swedish police drama, very good although the final season wasn't the best. Didn't think Mindhunter Season 2 was as good as season 1. Very slow moving but worth a watch.

Think I might dive into El Chapo next seems to have good ratings in this thread.

Green Frontier looks very interesting indeed.

Spot the special new woke term for female death in the description :pac:

And then there is this, although Im not sure if its netflix or not, biography drama of Carlos Tevez. I love the way South America is now contributing to really high quality drama - El Marginal and The Mechanism both excellent. Not enough time to watch all the good stuff these days!

Yeah Green Frontier caught my eye there the last day, trailer looks good. Basically looks like The Wicker Man set in the amazon to me.

Second was amazing, expanded, shown how they started to be used in the field, and how things from their personal life were starting to mirror what was happening in their work.

Anyone any recommendations for a good comedy series? Along the lines in Brooklyn 99.

Thanks

Do you like British comedy? It's not like Brooklyn 99 but the last comedy on Netflix I watched was White Gold, thought it was fairly funny. BBC had a new season of it out a while ago. Jay and Simon from the Inbetweeners in it, based in the 80s about Essex window salesmen!

That's what got me, no problem with the investigation but the whole story about Tench's family was just pointless, also his wife annoyed the **** out of me, and the coincidence that he "adopted" a weird child. At least in the first season Ford's relationship allowed him to grow, and discuss ideas, I just saw Carr's relationship tokenism, no real relation to the rest of the show (though I am sure I missed something). Otherwise yes the second season was good but IMO not as good as the first.

As an aside but they could of kept the actors names for the series they all sound like their characters.

Jonathan Groff
Holt McCallany

I'm a huge Chappelle fan but thought the new special was a bit disappointing.

Not his funniest material, and the jokes that were funny were used in his recent show here so I knew the punchlines for most.

Having said that, the Jussie Smollett bit had me in stitches.

There's only one Falstaff in my book! Alhough it'll be interesting to see what Edgerton can make of the role. Needless to say he's got some very big shoes to fill.
