Great episode of Breaking Bad this week. The die was cast for HS when he thought he had finally won. Only one end for him now.

Absolutely nerve-jangling envitability to the last act. And all where Walter and Jesse had their first cook. Beauty.

2 episodes into Top of the Lake. Can't for the life of me see what the broohahah was all about. Finger was poised over the delete button on the remote control last night. Worth continuing???

Watched it all - it's ok, nothing special, mildly diverting.

That has the potential to be hilarious. Yer man plays him brilliantly - every little look and mannerism is perfect.

Bob Odenkirk is a comedian so I have to imagine a Saul-centric show will be much more comedy focused. Huell is also a comedian as is Kubie's actor so those two seem sure to appear in the spin-off.

Thanks BB and No Soloing.
Watched 20 mins of E3 and gave up and deleted the whole series. Couldn't  really care less as to what would happen.

Also for those that are interested Breaking Bad S5 available to borrow from public libraries here south of the Rio Grande.

I really liked the character when he first appeared. Things have gotten a bit serious for him lately so the comedy has gone out of it, but I agree it has potential.

Peaky Blinders looks decent after first 15 mins.

Not too bad alright, Murphy's brummie accent isn't the worse I've heard but far from perfect, Helen McCrory seems to have got it dead on. Promising start. Good soundtrack too.

Nick cave song to start certainly grabs the attention, good first episode. Sam Neil's accent was a bit dodgy too.

That most recent episode of Breaking Bad flew by. Powerful stuff.

Fantastic episode, as usual.

Think where it started and where it ended. HTF did we get from the former to the latter?  And it still dramatically changed course right at the end. But naturally we have no idea what the new f*king course will be.

Only two episodes left. The misses is so traumatised she wants to stop watching and pretend it ended after season 4.
