deeshopper Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 So, I started watching this on Netflix a week after Fear the Walking Dead started. I just finished this weekend. Wow! Very clever and intense show. I need to talk about with folks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrubberRaven Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Probably one of the best shows in recent years. Better Call Saul is just as good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papasmurfbell Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 I stared it. I was in season 2. It is really impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spen Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 I thought the first season was OK, and didn't know whether I was going to watch the second. I kept hearing good things so I did, wow did it get better. By the end it was my favorite show, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deeshopper Posted October 19, 2015 Author Share Posted October 19, 2015 I watched the pilot days after FTWD premiered. It was a night and day difference. I cared about Walt and Jesse by the end of the first episode. I was hooked and was never at any time bored by an episode. Every episode moved the plot, even if, in the beginning, there was some retread (Tucos and then the other guy). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papasmurfbell Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 I love when Walt stars to change. That meeting at the school was great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc. Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Loved it as well. Walt is a great character, no doubt. Saw two of Better Call Saul but have to catch the rest. He was my favorite character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spen Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 (edited) Better Call Saul was amazingly good. The performances from Odenkirk, Banks, and McKean are fantastic. Nothing else on TV is paced like Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. I guess Gilligan got some success and AMC just let him do whatever he wants. Fargo reminds me of those two shows a bit.

GrubberRaven Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 I want to start watching Fargo...I hear the second season thus far is good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papasmurfbell Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 I think they are an season 3 of Fargo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spen Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 (edited) It's just season 2 of Fargo. Haven't watched last night's episode but the first episode was good. Kieran Culkin was very good. I loved season one. Edited October 20, 2015 by Spen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc. Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Yeah, the pacing is brilliant. Occasionally Breaking Bad would run off course for a few episodes, but always held on... Reminds me of The Wire. They simply did whatever they wanted. BB obviously had more jumps forward and back in time, as The Wire played it more straight. But an arc could last a season or just ten minutes... Usually longer, but just as slow a burn as they wanted regardless of what "production" said it should be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RavenMad Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Only started watching BB after it finished its original TV run. Wasn't hooked immediately but after about 3 or 4 episodes I just felt it was getting better and better. It's also one of the few shows that gets consistently better with each season. There was no sophomore slump like so many shows endure and it ended at the right time. By that I mean, it didn't run for too long and had u watching out of loyalty (I'm talking about you Supernatural) or it ended too soon without closing the story off and tying up the loose ends.

Ouch, Supernatural. That hurts, but yeah, it's not even Must See TV for me anymore. I catch it on the weekends on my DVR. Finished watching the first season of Better Call Saul. Really enjoyed it! I'm on to watching Gotham now. I'm three episodes in. Not sure what to think just yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papasmurfbell Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Three eps of this season or of the series? It took them a little while to get their stride but I think Gotham is amazing now. Bruce does get better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrubberRaven Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Recorded, but never got into Gotham...deleted. I did like Sleepy Hollow's first season, but lost interest in the second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deeshopper Posted October 29, 2015 Author Share Posted October 29, 2015 Three episodes into the series (season one, episode three). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papasmurfbell Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 You will be surprised where Barbra Keane goes. Also for an 8pm show I am shocked what they get away with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc. Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 I think Walking Dead has hit the point of holding on too long and losing it's pacing. Stopped watching last season - might have finished it out slowly but didn't even care enough to know now. Haven't watched at all this year. I know that other thread on it is still running... but I just can't really deal with the repeating narrative, poor pacing, etc... Gotham I enjoyed a few episodes of. I don't really have the time to watch anything these days, so it just got cut from my roster... but I think I am also done with superheroes for a bit.

Spen Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 I'm not o big fan of prequels. I do realize that might sound silly but I have felt that way most of my life. And I don't really want to see superheroes as kids. I don't mean it as a slam on Gotham, I'm sure it's a quality show from all I read, just not for me. I just finished "Red Oaks" on Amazon, really liked it. The CW's "Crazy Ex Girlfriend" is good but won't last. Too weird. It's star Rachel Bloom is great.
