Think I’ve now watched 6 episodes. Still quite good but would have liked a bit more of a running story through the series as feels more like individual episodes that resolve themselves each week.Quote:

But now it has and bashing through the seasons! Season two was toppled today.
Glad to report that its every bit as good as expected and even better I still have 3 seasons to go [emoji23][emoji108]
It was immense. A near perfect TV episode.Quote:

I think it captures that there is still a tiny shred of humanity in him and his daughter is a perfect metaphor for all the lives destroyed by him.
That's good to know. Despite being in lockdown I've found myself doing other things and now have (I think), 3 or 4 stored up. Looking forward to sitting down tomorrow with a few malts and catching upQuote:

The first season is a bit of a trek, the 2nd and 3rd are brilliant as the characters start to develop. It does get a little silly after season 5 though.Quote:

It was ok for maybe three seasons up to and including the Henry Rollins season. It kind of lost the plot (for me) like the Mayans (same writers) things just became too far fetched, I guess there's only so much you can do with a biker gang.Quote:

I loved SoA - have watched it through twice. Seasons 2-6 are the best; 7 is good too, but could have done with being an episode or two shorter.Quote:

I loved The Shield as well but it's a slower build to the main story I think which is probably why 7 seasons didn't seem too much.Quote:

Better Call Saul is absolutely brilliant TV, the last episode was top drawer.
Binge on curb your enthusiasm fantastic
Watching Freddie Mercury tribute concert from 1992, just fantastic
Lost count of the number of times we've watched it. Some fantastic performances, Gary Cherone in particular was brilliant.Quote:

George Michael was superb.Quote:

Just finished watching The Nest, how the hell does Shirley Henderson keep getting parts on tv? Terrible actress.
I agree. People love her but she just plays the same character in everything she is in, they are all interchangeable.Quote:
