What the hell has gone wrong with Better Call Saul?

Gone are the inventive plot lines, tension-filled situations, unanticipated resolutions and the pace. Even the humour. They appear to have lost the plot, so to speak. There seem to be only two stories going on, one of them boring shite about the career trajectories of two lawyers and the other not going anywhere.

Have to say I am really enjoying it. The 'squat cobbler' will become classic TV in time. Mike is a bit lost but I used to feel Jesse was lost and found a lot in BB. Same with Hank.

Me too, just after watching the latest and there is something really enjoyable about the show as a whole that I don't get from any other.

Finished 11.22.63 last night. I really enjoyed it. There was only the 8 episodes but it was very good imo.

Anyone watching/watched Spooks on Netflix? I'm in Season 4 at the moment. The first and second seasons were good, the third was a bit weak I thought, with crazy plotlines at the end to ****Spoiler Alert ********* remove three of the main characters.  The fourth series is a bit of a rebirth and is quite good. What does anyone else think of it? Have ye watched it through?

Well nothing really happens at the end to be honest, poor finish to the season.

Walking dead final episode could have just being 45mins. The hour and a half episode dragges it out. Good last 10 mins.

Up here in Britain it was shown on BBC. Like yourself I enjoyed it and would agree there are peaks and troughs but me and the missus watched all of it. There is also a Spooks movie - very much like a TV movie rather than a Hollywood epic.

Streamed the last episode of American Crime Story last night, really enjoyed it. think it portrayed the whole saga well and showed what a crazy circus the whole trial was. it also reflected the powder keg that LA was at the time. I see they've commissioned a 2nd series, dont know what it will be focusing on but itll be hard to top this. very enjoyable with a star studded cast who brought their A game.

Under Lights

Anyone watching The A Word on bbc1 Tuesday nights?

heffo

The Outsiders is good so far

I see Friday Night Lights is on Neflix, recommended ?
