NJS 4378 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 I finished Breaking Bad today. I'm glad I stuck with it after early doubts (I thought it was a bit slow at some points) and it certainly told the tale well to a pretty satisfactory conclusion. I don't think its quite the best TV show ever as some claim but I think its up there. Honestly speaking I preferred Dexter of the two big hitters I've watched over the last year. I think the parallels of a monster wanting to be human and almost getting there versus a decent man who sort of becomes a monster is an interesting link between the two shows. I haven't made a firm choice of what I'm going to watch next - I think I'll try Hannibal first of all as I miss the brutality of Dexter already.

You should try the spin-off show, Better Call Saul - The second season is 3 episodes in and it's pretty good viewing IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holden McGroin 6582 Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 I dont think BCS is in the same league as Breaking Bad. I hope it picks up soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 30598 Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 I really enjoyed the first series, I'm waiting until they've all been released before watching the second. I thought the point of Netflix was to bingewatch, I don't understand why they're drip feeding this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 35077 Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Just started watching season 1 as it happens. About 4 episodes in and I really like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the point of Netflix was to bingewatch, I don't understand why they're drip feeding this. It's not their show to put up for binge watch. They've got a deal with AMC to put it up in the UK once it's aired in America (they did the same with the last season of BB iirc). Stops people downloading it, makes AMC some money in the UK. As far as I'm aware, it's not available on US Netflix though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJS 4378 Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 I'm not sure how I feel about prequels where you know how the characters end up (both at the start and at the end of BB). I probably will watch it but after watching something else first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChezGiven 0 Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 House of Cards season 4. I found season 3 fairly enjoyable, the writers were clearly trying to leave their options open so that Clinton's evolving candidacy for the Democrats could provide a mimetic backdrop to this season's story.

ChezGiven 0 Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Better Call Saul has a different pace and feel to BB, its less sinister, slightly funnier and lighter (or season 1 was anyway). There are parts of it which i think show post-BB life but i could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Kelly 1244 Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 The beginning of episode 1 is post-BB I think.Same with episode 1 of season 2. I really like it but it's not in the same class as breaking bad. Could get a lot more interesting when things get more dark for him leading up to who he becomes in BB.

GrimsbyMag 0 Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Just watched the first episode of Hannibal. Impressed - will watch more. Hannibal was superb IMO. Only 3 seasons long as well. I've just watched the first episode of Lucky Man. I think I'll reserve judgment till I've seen a few more episodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anorthernsoul 1221 Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Enjoying Better Caul Saul, episode 4 is on there now. Can't help but feel it would be even more entertaining if the show was about Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 35077 Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Always makes me think of Mad Mike Banks (Mike / Jonathan Banks). Anyway.... Aye, he's a good character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adios 717 Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 First 2 seasons were excellent and, rather disturbingly, always made me very hungry. Didn't get very far into the 3rd series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
