Also quite far through The Hunt for a Killer which isn't exactly mind blowing, but a good watch.

Started Winning Time last night, yeah fun and quirky, still trying to get into it but worth watching.
I loved it. Unique format, great acting, learning some things despite reading extensively about the era.
Gutted it only had 6eps!
Originally thought it looked good to watch with the 13yr old, but it didn't turn out to be the case...

I'd delayed trying that for soooo long... the character was just annoying in Breaking Bad, and I figured "how interesting could it be to watch a long-winded prequel to an annoying side-character?"
I was wrong... it really is rather good. Helped, obviously, by also telling the back-story of several other less-annoying characters in parallel.
It does make me want to go back and watch Breaking Bad again - mostly I wanted to see how the Nacho character was portrayed there compared to his back-story here... but looking it up now... it seems he never actually appeared in BB? Stupid brain creating false memories... I was sure he'd been one of Walter's first run-ins with the cartel(s). Or maybe I'm just racist... all those hispanic-types look the same to me. I was probably thinking of Cliff Curtis. -

I’m the opposite of you two, liked him in BB, couldn’t get through S1 of Better Call Saul.

@antipodean Just watched the first ep. That Aussie chick is off the charts annoying Aussie.

@crucial I've watched Ep 1 and while I agree with everything you say I'm still a little underwhelmed.
It's like every performance 80% nails it but the sum of the individual parts is less than 80%
I think you're probably right about the plot - although I didn't notice that with the books. Just seems like you don't get enough of the depth of the characters especially the interaction between the Slow Horses themselves. We know nothing of Roddy for example. Given how little plot development there was though - if you delved more into the characters it would be very slow indeed.
I'm trusting its a slow burner and will develop. I'm also going to recommend it to someone who hasn't read the novels for their take.
I haven’t read the novels and really enjoyed the first two episodes. Less enthused by the direction of episode 4 though.
I think they did an ok-ish job with the characters, although they could have done a settler episode after ep 1 where we get to know the slow horses a bit better.

Watching Halo with my youngest
I just want to buy the first x-box and play Halo 1 & 2. Beat time's I've ever had gaming

Doing what I swore to myself I would never do, re watching Game of Thrones with the girl cos she has never seen it. Easter evenings are a great time to do this especially considering there aren’t many new options at the moment.
Season 1 nearly done and fascinating seeing characters from the early days and how they have progressed ( or died horribly ). It’s amazing how relatively normal both Cersei and Danaerys are when you consider what horrible bitches they become later on. To my eternal awe she knows all about the Lannisters, Starks, Targaryens etc without having to consult a flowchart like I did when I watched it on DVD years ago. So much T and A too, especially compared to the later seasons.
She throws things at me every time I blurt out a spoiler about what happens to such and such down the track which I guess is fair enough.
I’m nice and quiet now but I can tell she’s picturing Theon Greyjoy losing his cock in a few seasons time.

So just watched on Stan an older military series (2017-18) called SIX made by the History Channel (doesnt mean it was based on historical events though), based on seal team six.
They only made two seasons and I enjoyed it, although got a bit slow at times where it felt like they were dragging some of the story out a bit much. Not the greatest show in the world, but given the amount of shows that do get extended I am surprised this wasnt. Great cliff hanger to finish the second season.
Season one also has Walton Goggins and Season Two Olivia
MunnYum3 confirmed kills out of 5 alar akabars

@bayimports I dont think I bothered with S2 of it, think the end of S1 sucked IIRC.
Have you watched Seal Team? Same genre obviously, IMO better though, although David Boreanaz's character is unlikeable alot of the time...
-
@taniwharugby I have and quite enjoyed it, end of season one of SIX and first episode of season two were poor, but it picked up to the point wher the final episode was my favourite fo them all so far, dont go sitting through all of season two though if you didnt like it, but it delivered where a few episdoes before failed to deliver
-
Outer Range. Josh Brolin and Imogen Poots. 2 episodes in and it is weird, getting weirder. Like a cross between Yellowstone and The Twighlight Zone. It’s well produced and shot with some stunning scenery. I’m not finding it a must watch but it has enough to bring me back and I’ll keep going for now.

@Catogrande Briar Patch sounds similar
