I've just finished Better Call Saul, think it was brilliant, the finale especially.
This will be divisive but I personally enjoyed it more than Breaking Bad.
I'm still trying to recover from the complete shiteness that was Breaking Bad. So much so that it's holding me back from starting Better Call Saul as I can't shake the feeling that it's going to be just as cack.
Burn the heretic!
Fully appreciate that I'm an outlier in that regard but it just didn't do anything for me. Should have finished a season earlier.
Yeah I agree... the last season spoiled it for me, don't think I even watched the final two episodes.
House of the Dragon (sky/Demand) A bit slow so far, half watched the first 2 episodes as it wasn't really engaging much, hopeful it will kick into gear but disappointed so far
Just watched the first two episodes - Really enjoyed it so far.
Have always been a fan of Ryan Reynolds (who isn't), so would like to see Wrexham do well, and keeping an eye on the project - I like what Ryan and Rob said at the start, where if it doesnt work, they cant run and hide... Yeah its all scripted but its so true, if they dont achieve the targets the fans have, they wont be at all popular.
Does have a similar feel to the Sunderland Til I Die Documentary, I've not watched any of the Amazon ones.
Nice as well they didnt gloss over 2020/21, its not like they won promotion last season either - But in a brutal way for Paul Rutherford and Dean Keates, it was good to explain how their first (half) season went as owners as well.
Looking forward to hearing Phil Parkinson when he comes in, and potentially Harry Lennon
Watched the first two episodes of Welcome to Wrexham. Really well done and looks like it’s gonna be a good series.
Really enjoyed the first two episodes. Liked how they came across as so nervous before the video call and vote, not assuming it'll be a yes etc. I'd not seen anything of Rob McElhenney before, but he came across well, and Ryan Reynolds always does.
Was interesting to know they'd never met in person before the purchase.
Didn't feel that harsh on Dean Keates - they gave hin a chance rather than getting rid straight away, and he couldn't get 7th. I'm not sure him.or the players can complain too much at just not getting a new contract.
Second season and the final game of it will be interesting to watch.

Really enjoyed it! Thought both Rob and Ryan came across really well in it too, and didn't make the show all about them as well which is good to see.
Thought it was really well done - brought home some of the reality of NL.
I always forget it's only one up and then 1 of 6 for the playoffs, does make it a really tough job compared to 2 or 3 up and then a 1 in 4 chance in the playoffs.
I get why, protecting as many League clubs from dropping out of the league and the financial implications etc, but it seems harsh that it's 2 up, 2 down not 3.
Especially when, as they say, the NL is the lowest professional league yet still sends 3 sides down to semi pro every year, there's not the same protection offered to league 2 clubs.
FInally finished Better Call Saul. Decided to start from the beginning again before watching the final series as I'd forgotten a lot of the subtleties. Consistently good right through the entire run and a satisfactory ending that tied up all the loose ends without being outrageously unbelievable. In the phenomenally unlikely event that you haven't seen Breaking Bad, watch it first. Despite the fact that BCS is a prequel, there are a load of BB spoilers. I actually think that BCS is the strongest of the three trilogy elements (El Camino) being the third. But all three are compelling viewing.

A new series of Brassic starts on Sky soon so I'm rewatching the previous to refresh my memory. This show makes me cry with laughter!

Not sure why this posted twice, sorry.
