Biggest problem with that, for me, would be how Aaron Paul looks so much older (and not instantly recognisable to me) in the 'prequel' scenes of BCS than he does in either BB or El Camino! Otherwise, I think it would be really interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob The Badger Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 I've one episode of Better Call Saul to go - presuming there's 12 that is. Brilliantly acted, incredibly well filmed and with a super sharp script. So why am I so bored with it? I'm not sure what the point of going on was, it feels like they had to make a certain amount of episodes and this is bolted on. Maybe it will all bind together in the last episode. I hope so because it has been great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope so because it has been great. I was where you are. The last episode is worth waiting for. It’s undoubtedly a clever programme, but a bit style over substance at times in this latest series. Saul/ Jimmy is a great fictional character and one that will stay in the memory. Similarly I won’t be able to watch Rhea Seehorn without thinking of Kim Wexler.

Really good watch I thought. Looked hellishly hot...felt dehydrated just watching. When Korn opened their set with 'Blind' it was both spine-tingly and frightening to watch -how people didn't get crushed to death was unbelievable. Stumbled across this before seeing it recommended here. The shots of the audience when Korn were playing are just insane. I despise that frat boy American - the sort who just flexes their muscles and screams "whoo, let's go, yaayyyy, <insert expletive>" so this was largely a tough watch for me. But just amazing what happens when you put a lot of drunk people in a space with no controls and then whip them into a frenzy. BTW - the Norm Cook comments remind me of those "look at <insert name of 1960s sex bomb> thirty years on, you won't believe pictures of her". Shock horror, person ages at the rate of one year per year - fancy that eh! Chester40 and Rev 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaaLocks Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Marriage: being touted as great BBC drama but I'm three quarters of the way through and it's passing me completely by. Meant to be intimate and 'small' but it's just slow and thin. Writing is poor, characters (particularly the boss character and the daughters boyfriend), scenarios etc are totally unbelivable. Something amazing has to happen in the last episode to save anything of this. Crewton and Anag Ram 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamworthram Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Just watched Trainwreck: Woodstock 99 on Now. Amazing. How nobody died at the event is remarkable. Bob The Badger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob The Badger Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Just watched the last episode of Better Call Saul. I wish I'd not bothered with the entire season tbh. Not enjoyed any of it, boring, pretentious and pointless....to me. I loved previous seasons and BB is up there with my all time favourites.

It’s harmless enough entertainment and there are some good characters. Holliday Grainger is a favourite of mine which means I’m watching episode one of series two as I type. Yes, I’m shallow.

Eddie Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Snowpiercer. An incredibly silly idea which turned out to be an immensely entertaining series (ok, 3 series, with a 4th to come). BucksRam and TimRam 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 Sandman. Another incredibly silly idea, but I'm loving it. BucksRam and Hans Datdo-Dishes 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrade 86 Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Le Bureau des Légendes - clever espionage series about the DSGE. Fictional (states the disclaimer) but it does rather ring true. Also released as The Bureau. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
