Better Call Saul

Haha ok. For me TV is an art form, so when I see good acting, directing, cinematography and a fine script then I appreciate it and soak it all in.

 

But each to their own. I see cars as things which take me from A to B but others devote their lives to them.

I am a self confessed uncultured swine, I actively choose to go to Benidorm, and watch Bullseye, so my criticism is to be taken lightly.

2 very good episodes. I thought there was an increase in the tension and sens of impending doom for most characters. I liked the visual gag with the gnome and the ice cream bookending a situation Saul/Jimmy has caused an about which he is oblivious, In fact he seems to be the only person unaware of the threats around him.

Nothing wrong with Bullseye.

[Carvalho Diablo]

Can't beat a bit of Bully.

I really am not enjoying this anymore.

 

The characters and acting in that second episode especially are so hammy and over the top, it’s ruining it.

 

Those 2 drug fiends were shite, Mike gets less and less believable, and that scene where he snaps at the kid was just terrible. Like a bad soap.

 

Shame Hades isn’t still here to point out what a pleb I am for not picking up on the subtle nuances and gradual builds in the story.

 

I know I’ll get battered for this, but it has gone proper shite.

[M_B]

Well I agree that Mike's scene with the kid wasn't great.

[polymerpunkah]

Rewatched it in anticipation of the new season and, as good as it is, it dropped off a bit for me with Chuck's death.

 

A brilliant character and an equally brilliant performance.

 

But they've done a great job with all the stories, and I like the new Salamanca--he's another unique character in a show full of them.

 

I agree about that scene with Mike, though. Hopefully it's a one-off.

I’ve rewatched Breaking Bad since the last series of BCS so have only just realised that ‘Crazy 8’ who’s with Nacho is one and the same from the beginning of BB. 

[Guest Pistonbroke]

I'm waiting until they have all been released for this series and binge watch it then. 

 

Then again, if I can't wait I'll do it 5 and 5. 

[Captain Turdseye]

Some familiar faces this week!

Do it now it’s brilliant . Gone off the binge watching the anticipation of a new episode better rush. This is reaching the heights of BB if not better.

Nachos dad is just fantastic and steals every scene he his in. I just can’t see a happy ending for nacho he’s surrounded by dead ends.

I am enjoying first few episodes of the new series although it seems Mike is also appearing in the film Cocoon at the same time. I'd like to know his cure for liver spots.

[Carvalho Diablo]

Just watched episode 5, just brilliant.

[Captain Turdseye]

Mike is the model of youth. 

[VladimirIlyich]

I am enjoying this series but it pisses me off that its a weekly episode series. 

[Davelfc]

It's simply brilliant and puts most other garbage out there to shame. 

[Scott_M]

I stopped watching it after season 3, I was fed up with the "kookyness" of it all.

 

I've started season 4 and, IMO, it's finally getting a head of steam up now Chuck is out the way. More gangsters and genuinely interesting on how things are now coming to a head. I found it very frustrating before.

[Carvalho Diablo]

Episode 6 is a thing of beauty.

 

[Chairman Meow]

I've been really busy so just downloading and haven't been watching it so far on this run.

 

The episode title concerns me. 

[Captain Turdseye]

This week’s episode was up there with peak Breaking Bad. 

[Numero Veinticinco]

Really good episode

Yeah, I thought this week's episode was one of those I think they've managed once or twice in most seasons of both shows, where they're just absolutely stand out from everything else and are perfectly good to watch if you'd never watched an episode. 

[VladimirIlyich]

I think its excellent but by the time the following episode comes around I have forgotten where the last is up to. Weekly episodes are an old fashioned concept.

[Elite]

They could definitely do another 3 seasons at least at the pace it's going and that's before we get to present day. Not that I'm complaining, it's a very good show.
