Main Street

I was concerned when Jimmy's journey was sidelined around ep 3,  while they fleshed out other stories and characters  But Jimmy's a force in motion and  ep 9 was 100% back on track.
The scene at the school was just perfect, pure impromptu Saul with every line and nuance delivered to perfection.
Next comes  the final episode to S2.

Watched the end of Vinyl there... it lost its way a bit from the opening episode I'd give it about a 6.5/10 meh!

Just finished LOVE on Netflix.

A grower, both characters are a self-absorbed and not particularly likeable. Mickey really shits on her flat-mate but some good "laugh out loud" moments.

At about 40 mins an episode a nice evening filler.

Great Swedish political thriller showing on Channel-4 at the minute, called 'Blue Eyes'.  It's about the fallout and political machinations surrounding the assassination of a far-right local politician on the eve of a general election.  Interesting and engaging; recommended.

Watched it a few weeks ago... it's a strange one I quite enjoyed it but wouldn't be going around raving about it or anything. It was definitely good and I would have stuck with the Canadian!!

Interested in that Swedish one BB I'll check that out over the weekend thanks!

Anyone give The Tunnel - Sabotage a look yet? I watched 2 episodes the other night, looked promising. The previous series was good even if I lost track of all that was going on for a finish :-)

The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt is an enjoyable 20 minute sitcom on Netflix. Doesn't take itself too seriously and quite daft. I like it.

Stick with it.  The most off-putting thing for me was that I couldn't decipher the Baltimore accent for ages, so when I did I had to go back and watch the first five episodes again.  It's a slow burner, but probably the best thing that's ever been on television.  Ever.

Just watched the season two finale to better call saul, was excellent and left two great cliffhangers, especially the one regarding Mike.

Third season looks like it could be introducing alot more  BB characters which I'm looking forward to.

Jimmys brother now is just as bad as him to an extent also.

Stick with it.
It takes 3 or 4 to get into and get used to the dialogue.
Still the best thing ever on TV for me.

Really enjoyed the OJ series.

Very well done (and gas how they got so many of the actors to look so like the person they were playing)

You'd wonder how many lives would have been lost in the riots had the verdict gone the other way. At least OJ is in the right place now (be interesting to see how his parole hearings go next year, I'd say they'll be pretty tough on him)

I thought the glove scene was done brilliantly. But then I watched it on youtube and realised that pretty much all they'd done was copy real-life. About the only time during the whole trial OJ was smiling instead of having a scowl on his face, he was certain the glove wouldnt fit and he lapped it up!
