Breaking Bad (possibility of spoilers)

[Dave Davenport]

One of these?

Nope, BB themed one, she said she'd like to 'look after' Jesse.

I really struggled with the first couple of series of Breaking Bad but I persevered.
It must say something about me but it wasn't until Walter's true nature was revealed I became interested.
I love a good psychopath, RIP Tony Soprano.
For great UK telly how about Peaky Blinders. Amazing piece of social history drama with many well characterised criminals to challenge your moral standings.
Aunt Pol is my favourite. Well acted by Mrs Lewis.

See I was rolling along quite happily with the the first couple of series, really enjoying the dark humour and the scrapes that the pair were getting themselves into. Then it turned dark, really dark. It was challenging, facinating telly.
I recognised something of Walt in most middle aged men I know.

Into episode 11 on Series 5 now, been great viewing but the Mrs is now not enjoying it as in her words its starting to unravel for Walt, think she was enjoying the roller coaster ride with him. Been some good story lines and surprises along the way, in fact the confession last night involving Hank was complete left field but now makesit go down on a different road. Nearly there and apparently its must watch to the end !! Netflix has actually been a saviour as normal TV especially Sat night is pure guff. Dexter, Prison Break, Orange is the new Black and House of cards are apparently the biz also, so they are all on my next list.

[QUOTE 3346140, member: 259"]We don't watch live TV any more. The PVR is set up to record anything that looks interesting, Netflix has more good stuff than you could shake a stick at (especially if you unblock the region setting) and for what's left there's iPlayer.[/QUOTE]

Can you do that?

We like Netflix, we only got it in the first place to watch House of Cards which is first rate. We don't watch live telly any more either.

BB was ok, above average but a bit too long and, after early shocking surprises, too much was over contrived and telegraphed trying to recapture the moment. Personally thought The Sopranos and The Wire were far better and my favourite is The Walking Dead.

Like others my viewing of live TV is almost zero

House of Cards is excellent, I found it a bit difficult to follow some of the scheming at times but suffice to say that Frank was one ruthless, unscrupulous dude.

Netflix has a great selection, but there are some excellent series they don't have everything such as The Wire which I am currently watching on DVD (up to Season 4) which is also excellent, although the patois style speech of the black gang members can be difficult to understand at times. Netflix doesn't have the Sopranos either, but I'm getting the boxset of that for Christmas.

BB brilliant, hooked from the start.

Waiting for season 2 of "Bates Motel" to appear on Netflix

Breaking Bad is better than all of those you've listed even though I've never seen them.

good job I value your opinion so highly then

 

[threebikesmcginty]

I hate you.

 

[MacB]

I hate you.

yeah you'll keep telling yourself that until you fall swooning into my arms - of course I'll just step away and let you hit the deck but you'll have that split second of fulfillment

 

[Dave Davenport]

Why does she need another Jessie, Dave?

I'm a big Jessie, this would just be a small one.

I edited out the last bit where you're pretending to be all macho and stuff.
