Most people here probably won't know Inside No. 9 as it's a British show, I guess? It's like a surreal, dark comedy. It's good! Reminds me of The Twilight Zone.

Anyway yeah Better Call Saul is starting TOMORROW so I'm definitely going to be watching that and then Inside No. 9 on the 20th!
 
Inside No.9 is fucking class. Damn shame it sort of fell off in recent episodes.

I thought season 5 was pretty weak but I really liked 6 :)

Greatest story told in the history of mankind. I might even watch it live on cable. Last time I did that was season 10 premier of X-Files.

Is it going to be on Netflix, do you know? I have limited places I can watch it here in the UK!

Hm, you don't have access to any via other people?

I use Netflix and Prime a bit. And HBO but there's not much point in me using that now as I have Matrix Resurrections on blu-ray now and that's what I wanted to watch on there!
 
I loved BB but Better Call Saul is literally the most boring ass slow tv show ever. I keep downloading the new seasons and try to skim through them but its just five fucking seasons of blue ball teasers, showing his part time jobs and he's still not "Saul Goodman". The show has been on the air longer than Breaking Bad and like when does the show start cause nothing has happened yet.

It's slower-paced than BB but has gradually been picking up since it started.

Season 5 to me feels pretty close to BB.
 
watched the first two episodes. good but not great. predictable most of the the time. hopefully leads up to something brilliant like breading bad but expectations are pretty low.

When I was watching it earlier I was thinking "I think it's going to be very good but even if it wasn't I wouldn't really mind because this franchise (BB, BCS, EC) has long since proven itself to me. I just want to see how the story ends and hopefully meets Breaking Bad."

That's pretty much where I stand! :)
 
Better call saul is my cope tbh... great show just finished binge watching on netflix. it starts off a little slow but gets better in the later seasons...
 
watched it on cable when it first aired. Very good episode. if ozzymandas is a 10, this one is 9.
how 'bout that ending? satisfying? I think so.

nah i'm glad they didn't just make breaking bad 2. its good that this is unique.
 
I've seen the first two now but the third isn't out yet here in the UK (no spoilers pls! XD).

My thoughts... hm.

I'm enjoying it, but quite a few of the creative decisions feel suboptimal to me. Lalo has become SO ruthless, Kim a lot like Jimmy, Kim and Jimmy are doing quite minor things, and I feel there is a lack of more moral characters, other than the ones we are supposed to dislike such as Howard.

I dunno. Just a strange balance. Overall it's still entertaining and the atmosphere is very good, but yeah I feel that the directions some characters were taken in weren't ideal.

I'm very much looking forward to seeing a bit more of what happens to "Gene" however! That should be really interesting!
 
I watched it... wow O.O

It does seem to fit in with the last two in that whilst I still disagree with a lot of their creative decisions... it's just so well made and entertaining!

But now I have to wait a whole week for the next one! Nooooooooo! XD
 

You think? Why?

I just watched the last episode. It was OK. Not the way I would have written it but I get why they did it. It had its moments.

Overall I liked the series. A lot! Just some of the creative decisions I thought were odd.

Felt like that terrible movie/TV trope where the villain suddenly changes sides and becomes good. And he had no reason to do so.

You think BCS is about Saul becoming the good guy?

You clearly haven't watched much of it then!

Although actually now I think about it... I guess it depends how you see it and which bits you highlight, so to speak.
 
I'm loving Inside No. 9; thanks for the tip. The Tom & Gerri episode was brilliant.
