Apparently I did see series one of "Line of Duty," as I remembered the two episodes I've watched so far. What I can't remember, though, is how it ends.

I thought Breaking Bad was crap! Vive la différence - best TV drama for decades - I think calling it crap is a tad harsh old bean, you might not have liked it, but it's definitely not crap

I lasted two episodes and found I couldn't care less about the characters.
But yes, it's good that we're all different.

It had what most lack - some humour in the twists and turns amid the train crash in slowmo drama. The character development was great too. I could watch it all again, and probably will some time in the not so distant future.

Shame as it's some of the best script-writing I've seen in a TV drama since Aaron Sorkin and The West Wing - but I'm a picky numpty anyway

Ah now, Aaron Sorkin. Did you ever watch the short-lived Studio 60? The Newsroom was also very good. His quick-fire dialogue is easily spotted.

Not seen those, I'll have to go on a hunt I've watched Breaking Bad (whole series) 5 times and it's the reason I joined Netflix. I watched all 62 Episodes in 11 days once!

Lol i have not watched much of Breaking Bad, not for any reason, it just hasn't happened yet... But I gobbled up the first 2 seasons of Better Call Saul. The look of the show just clicked with me on some lazy Sunday afternoon.

From Dark...
I love time travel paradoxes done well. This series is damned difficult to follow after all these contortions.

I take it you've seen Better Call Saul ? Most of it, but I'm kind of indifferent to it, so have only seen part of the new season and I've only seen the series once. I always manage to find something else I'd rather watch, so it hasn't grabbed me. I did like El Camino though.

I've just watched previews of Brave New World and Lovecraft Country. They're both going on my watch list.

Post by Slinger on Aug 13, 2020 17:10:32 GMT
I'm sure I recommended taking a look at Lovecraft Country, as I saw the trails for it ages ago, but I can't find the reference now. Perhaps I'm going (even more) insane. It's this damnable heat I tell you.

Yes, you did mention it and I was reminded when I saw both trailers on NowTV as coming soon.

I remember reading Huxley's Brave New World back when I was much younger. Interesting to see glimpses of what they've done with it.
