Anybody watching The Night Manager on BBC??

Great cast, very well acted and a great storyline. I'm looking forward to seeing how it ends next week!

Enjoyed her.  The last episode was up on Showbox last night. 

[The Iceman]

3 episodes in to Daredevil Season 2 on Netflix -just as good as the first with Shane from the Walking Dead playing the Punisher.

[Milltown Row2]

Ascension?? Watched first episode there... Decent storyline for sci-fi

[bennydorano]

Class scene in Vinyl in Ep 2 where Richie comes into the meeting with Ze Germans coked off his tits and not long after the building collapse, he looked like a cat walking on his hind legs trying to pretend he wasn't high. Class

Saw that Acension advertised as New & Exclusive but it was on last year, cant remember how it pans out but it was ok.

[Up The Middle]

Watching Quantico at the minute. Have too say im really enjoying it. The women are unreal plus the storyline is good.

[BennyHarp]

Not sure if it has been mentioned but I've been watching a few of Sky Atlantics House of Lies. It seems decent enough so far.

So just finish season 1 last night and would definitely recommend this.

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.

Enjoying Saul so I am, but I suppose from a critical perspective you are right in that Mikes story is a dead end as the characters introduced as his opposition all remain in BB therefore you know how that pans out and ultimately you know that Jimmy rebrands and sets up his own scabby phone book lawyer business.

watched half of the first series. poor.with so much TV shows to pick from these days i couldnt justify spending any more time on it

On the other hand, this is what somebody else thinks.

The spinoff is entirely its own creature, a slow-burning show that's much more concerned with the finer details that create the mosaic of the series. Better Call Saul is woven with subtle nods and the intricate symbolism of its lead character's moral quandary, making it one of the richest and smartest character dramas on television. We already know where Jimmy eventually ends up, but as Better Call Saul charts his path deeper into corruption, Gilligan's spinoff is only bound to get more addictive.

I agree that this is probably what they're trying to do, but I don't think it's going to make make the series "more addictive". It was the pace, tension, humour and unpredictability that made it addictive.

It has indeed gone downhill.
I thought BCS was supposed to be about how Jimmy ended up finding his true vocation as Saul. One season's worth of a good plot about an intriguing character, superbly acted.
Sub plot about Mike, solid reformed with a veteran law man's ethics,  compromises his morals for self gain and is now on the slippery slope to become the henchman he was in BB.
However, during S1 they got funding for a second season and now for a third season, so they have to make up stuff, bring in other plots (hector)  and milk out parts of the main plot to slow down the story.

Have to say the tv programmes and documentaries recently about the 1916 rising were excellent viewing.
