That's cool about the rewatch of BB and BCS with your gf.


Agreed re: Chuck. So glad that storyline is no longer wasting anyone's time. Glad we can focus on Saul, Kim, Gus, Nacho, Lalo, Mike and company.


Lalo is such a great villain.


Man... we finished watching the season a couple days ago and I forgot how great of a villian Lalo was! Season 6 tomorrow is going to pick up right where it left off of the attemped hit job on him... and he know Nacho is in on it! :eek2:

I Can't wait!

Woke

season 2

With a fresh outlook on the world around him, Keef must now navigate the new voices and ideas that confront and challenge him, all without setting aflame everything he's already built.

That Dirty Black Bag


A raw, epic and romantic spaghetti western series about the dark side of the Far West. The story describes the eight-day clash between Arthur McCoy an incorruptible sheriff with a troubled past, and Red Bill, an infamous, solitary bounty hunter known for decapitating his victims and stuffing their heads into a dirty black bag, because, as he puts it, “Heads weigh less than bodies.”

Good show, story line not the best, but the acting is good. Definitely keeps my attention.

Indeed. And the last season finished up at the start of the pandemic. So great to have it back, and shows how well acted “Lalo Salamanca” is when he’s on a series that already has Gustavo Fring and Hector Salamanca, also GREAT in their own right respectively!

I think what was most frustrating about the "Chuck McGill" character played by Michael McKean is that it was well-acted, as to be expected. But the audience didn't really care about his presence. It took away from the series, in that we were primarily fixated on watching Jimmy's scams and schemes, and how he eventually evolved into Saul Goodman. Why care about his brother?

We had no real awareness of "Chuck McGill" on Breaking Bad ... so why care about him on BCS?

Whereas with people like Mike, Gus Fring, and the twins ... it's a pleasure seeing what they were up to pre-Breaking Bad. We had actual investment in their involvement.


I kinda liked the Chuck McGill story because it kinda shows how Jimmy grew up and his thinking process then and now. Jimmy really loved his brother but Jimmy had a real awareness of how the world works early on. Jimmy took another approach at life and also their mom favored Jimmy More than Chuck and Chuck never really loved Jimmy like Jimmy loved him. It kinda shows how Jimmy evolved as a lawyer, a brother and a person.

Good points. The story arc made him more well-rounded and fully developed a character. Gave you more perspective on him as a person.

I guess I just found “Chuck” slowed the story too much, and was a Debbie Downer with his health issue(s). I wanted to see more of the other stories on back characters to further push the story forward. I.E. - great to see all the camera time “Kim Wexler” has gotten in recent years. She can act, and watching her we’re all thinking “what the hell becomes of her?” in the events preceding Breaking Bad? Does she just leave and go her separate way? Does something terrible happen which further alters the trajectory of Jimmy
/ Saul’s story? Her storyline is very much intriguing.

DMZ
2022

4/10

Before going forward, if you are a InCell and hate seeing women in leading roles, female empowerment and be the heroine of the story....don't waste your time reading forward.

I'm not familiar with the comic and if this series is related to it, so I have no idea if they are connected.

This is a 4 episode limited series that runs about 1 hour each.

Nothing is told on what the Civil War is about, it's origins or politics of each side. All we get is a flashback of when SHTF in Manhattan, NY in relation to the main character of Rosario Dawson. A map is shown briefly of the NYC Tri-State area on how its divided.

This is mainly a character drama centralized around the primary characters on how they are affected by the events of them being in the DMZ of Manhattan.

The series has a somewhat throwback feel to the classic cult films "The Warriors" and "Escape From New York".

There is pretty much nothing for action. Just a occasional fist fight and some guns shooting. So don't go into it thinking this is some apocalypse "Mad Max" film. It's nowhere close. Basically nothing is shown of the destruction or havoc of Manhattan.

It's a slow burn drama.

For the Thirsty, Rosario looks like shit thru-out the series. There is a couple of quick scenes showing her prior to the DMZ looking like a Spanish Harlem Hoodrat.

Not sure if HBO plans on continuing the story, if they do, that might be the time to watch, for now pass, unless you are a hardcore fan of these type of stories.

Just like GoT they shit on the books(or in this case the comics)

None of the main characters from the comic appear(unless,if there's a second season they planning on bringing them in then)
 
The First Lady on Showtime is an interesting take on what when on behind the scenes before and during the Presidencies of Obama,Ford,and Roosevelt from the first ladies point of view.Not great but highly watchable. The family was pissed there was only one episode available
 
Going to circle back to Pachinko soon, as well as the midway point of season 4 of Goliath.

Going to start checking out Outer Range and The Flight Attendant (season 2) soon.

Caught the first 2 eps of Better Call Saul's final season, and ep 3 of Winning Time the other day.

Barry season 3 starts this weekend, and Ozark returns at the end of the month.
 
Killing it(Peacock)



I finished this show a couple of days ago. And I thought it was good. I gotta say this is the first Craig Robinson show. I've watched from beginning to end. He has 2 or three other shows that on Hulu and NBC streaming. That I haven't checked out yet.


I think this show can go for at least 3 to 4 more seasons. Given the current storyline. All of the characters are funny. And it looks great, like NBC really put some big money behind the show. Overall I would recommend this show. But there is a couple of scenes that might take people out of it.

For instance in beginning of one of the episodes. There's a old guy that gets totally nude because Craig's character ends up living in a gym for a while. I mean they showed everything:puke: Other than that the show was alright.


Abbott Elementary (Hulu/ABC)

Thought this show was great. Watched it a couple of times. And it's still funny. I would highly recommend this show. Btw I'm crushing on Janelle James tall ass:sleazy:
 
Black-ish is now over. It finishes with a run of 8 seasons (2014-2022) and 176 episodes.

Did the finale feel rushed? Did it feel like another covid-related finale? Season 8 finished with 13 episodes in comparison to the 24, 23, and 21 that the previous seasons had.

I think they tied up the loose ends, the twins are preparing for college as well as a life apart, Zoey graduated (on Grown-ish), Pops and Ruby are reunited and about to enjoy life on the road, Dre and Bow will move to a Black neighborhood to raise Devante and Junior will head back to college on Grown-ish.

My only issue is that I would have liked to see Junior go back to Howard and not the fictional Cal U.
