Better Call Saul is having a really good season.
First real explicit cross-over into Breaking Bad in the last episode I watched.

Also just started watching Bosch. 2 episodes in and it seems really good.

This season of Better Call Saul has been brilliant. A real slow burner, but really enjoyable.

Bosch is the same shite we've seen a hundred times before. It just suffers from the same problem as so many of these series, in that the lead actor implausibly ends up in the exact right place at the right time any time the plot needs to move forward, and when he is dropped into a tricky situation (usually just after moodily ignoring orders and going off grid with no access to comms) can somehow outwit, outfight and outshoot squadrons of trained elite killers.

All this shit was played to death 50 years ago by James Bond. I can't do it any more.

Jack Ryan and the Old Man other recent examples of shows I'd to turn off for same reasons.

Completely disagree. Absolute shite. Camera "trickery" wears thin inside the first episode.

Bosch is a class series wonderfully set in LA, the lead actor Titus just steps into Bosch's considerable shoes and gives added nuances to the character of the novel. I see Series 7 has been out  for a few weeks.

Found Bosch got very samey after 2 seasons so haven't watched it since.

It was grand I enjoyed the first 2 series but just wasn't for me.

In the book series the Bosch character does evolve/mature accordingly to life experiences, which is unusual in the genre, this  aspect does not feature in the tv drama where Bosch is basically the same intense, driven, taciturn guy throughout. I wonder what Michael Mann could have made with Bosch if he had directed a series.

Nah, Larry reminded me of you  :D

This was an intense drama, probably if you knew what was coming you'd avoid it like the plague, but after viewing it  all the way through I'm glad I stuck with it.

We started watching "What we do in the shadows" recently.

Actually, the wife did, and after initial skepticism, I got sucked in.

Very funny so far (we're at start of Season 3). And great concept - fish out of water thing with vampires who originated in past centuries Europe trying to make it in modern day Staten Island.

Watched the first episode of The Sandman. Dunno if I'm intrigued or just a load of nonsense. Has been getting great reviews though.

It's very...Gaiman alright.

Who killed the KLF - available on Sky Documentaries

If you're thinking, oh that might be interesting - it f**king is. Wasn't a huge fan back in the day but it's a hugely interesting Documentary.

Caught most of it Benny. Quite a bit of craziness even before the burning of the ££. Caught quite a backlash after that righrly so probably. Weird couple almost like they were trying to outdo each other with crazy shit. Couple great tunes though 😊
