Breaking Bad update - Into Season 4, holidays and heat gave me the chance to binge between swims, now it's getting good.

I still have Sopranos ahead of it but we'll see.

Yeah, it was a slow burn at first, now it's really taking off. I'm not a binge watcher by any means but I'll happily watch 2-3 episodes in one sitting

I must say the last episode left me a little flat, I thought it was building up to a real crescendo but it was all as I said in the early stages a little predictable.

Really enjoyed the series and I'll start on Better call Saul in the coming days before the footy kicks off but the ending left me a little flat. I wanted more.

Do not open if you're on the Sopranos
Where as it took me a month to get over the way the Sopranos ended!

Better Call Saul isn't as good, in my opinion. I lasted 2 seasons, it's a bit slow

Better Call Saul is quite different to Breaking Bad, but I really liked it.

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, another Game of Thrones spin off. Timeline is post House of the Dragon, pre-dating GOT by about a hundred years. 4 episodes out now, enjoying it very much. No prior knowledge required but there are some tie ins. IMHO opinion, far superior to HOD.

Via Youtube flicking between The Bill and Minder watching from series Series one.

Currently 75 % through Series five of The Bill and just finished series one of Minder.

TV shows were better back in the day because they were.

Like DI Burnside and DS Roach, I reckon WPC Brind was tasty if you know what I mean...
Let that be a lesson to you Port, no one beats the Bays five times in a row in a GF and gets away with it!!!

Absolutely loving it. No idea prior to watching. Episode 5 was top tier.
