Braking Bad is top draw.
Better call Saul 😩
I really wanted to like it,but it's just pants.

Amen!

Another thumbs up for the killing which has been mentioned a few times, we really enjoyed it! Not gruesome or graphic as the name would suggest... more psychological..

Started watching Limitless now, first 2-3 were good but it's gone a little flat and silly now, hope its a temporary wobble and picks backs up 🤔

Am half way through series 7, the final series, of Parks and Recreation. And to be honest I'm dreading the point when I have no more to watch. I've watched every one and I think pound for pound it had the best comedic cast of any show I can remember. In that whilst there is an obvious focus on a handful of main characters, many other characters were funny and they also built story lines around them.

The fact that Chris Pratt, who was pretty unknown at the start of it but during the filming of the 7 series's became a very big Hollywood Star, came back to do a relatively small bit part in the final 2 series says a lot for it. Not ashamed to say I've had a tear in my eye on occasions which is good going for a comedy series, as you just get so attached to the characters. And Ron Swanson is a legend.

have got it on record as im watching Barney play Taylor in the darts

I found it very boring and lifeless and its an hour of my life I won't get back!

Ok I accept it hasn't really got into the main storyline because of what happened at the end of the programme which I won't spoil for you, but to take a full hour to get to that point was like pulling teeth, and as it's only a four parter that's 25% gone already so it doesn't come across as well written or produced for me.

I've not found anyone else who watches this but I love it. I throw in Ron Swanson references to people but I just get blank looks. He IS a tv legend and is up there with Capt Holt from Brooklyn Nine Nine as the best character on tv.

I think if we met we will get along just fine, though hopefully not too fine, because I am not looking for any new friends. End speech, please and thank you. ;)

Here's a New Years treat then.

And I'm more of a Jake Peralta man myself.

This is one for older for um members. But for Christmas I got the complete DVD set of Callan starring a pre Wicker-Man, Edward Woodward.

Unrelentingly grim with never (it seems) a happy ending, it is strangely addictive because it is very well acted although obviously its pace is a lot slower than modern television. David Callan lives in a very dystopic world and I have started having dreams I am in a similar world so somewhere this show just works for me on a deep level. YMMV!

Just started watching Wayward Pines, I'd seen it loads of times but it didn't jump out at me, but I'm just on the 3rd back to back episode tonight and I'm hooked 👍
