Currently watching American Gods. I’m a Gaiman fan so it is sort of high stakes but I’m really impress so far. Bodes well for the tv version of Good Omens.
We stuck with about 5 episodes of s1. It got old a bit quickly for me. Ian McShane was the best thing in it. He's come a way since Lovejoy.

i'm late to the Breaking Bad party but I finally finished season 2 a week ago. Good stuff.
Is Better Call Saul any good?

Ian McShane is good in everything he does. Can't wait to see him revive Swearingen in the Deadwood movie

Is Better Call Saul any good?
Very different in tone and content. It also starts «Meh» before developing nicely over the four seasons.

Started on Mayans MC…I had a huge soft spot for Sons of Anarchy and this is a shameless spin off. Leave your brain out bike/violence porno. The violence has been upped, the acting not so much.

Did anyone watch the repeat on 'made in Britain' on BBC 2 last night? This episode traced the history and process of shoe making in Northamptonshire. They were based at the Trickers factory. Very worth a watch. It really made you appreciate the time and skilled needed to build a handmade welt.

TRUE DETECTIVE S03: 7 eps down, 1 to go. No more how they tie it all up, it's been an absolute phenomenal season, mostly because of the stellar acting of the two main characters.
Doesn’t have the same level of thrills as S1, or the same off centre characters but the quality of the storytelling, creation of atmosphere and place, and as you say the acting is top drawer. Mesmerising at times.
The supporting cast do a fine job too (the wife, Purcell), but Ali and Dorff are astonishing over the four decades their characters move in. Almost regardless of how they end it, it is more mature and accomplished series than the first.

Currently watching Ash vs Evil dead S3. Wrong on so many levels but so right
I don't think i've laughed this hard during a tv show in awhile -
Was pleased with how S3 of True Detective ended up. An almost entirely happy ending was not what I expected but it was a nice change of pace. Acting by the mains was strong all the way through the season.
-
I enjoyed it thoroughly. Was saying to Hot Ingrid that while S1 had a lot of ott cod philosophy about good and evil this series was actually legitimately about something other than the crime. Memory, loss, the futility of human endeavour, fekk it, getting old. The very last scene with a young Purple Hays disappearing into the impenetrable undergrowth was a great bit of metaphor for his encroaching dementia and and for his experience of the case itself.

^ Agreed. SPOILERS!!!!! While I prefer S1 the most, S3 was really great. In comparing the two seasons (we'll leave out S2) it was a nice change of pace to have a totally different tragedy. S1 they basically rescued 2 kids and failed to solve a majority of the larger crime(s) occurring. S3 he solves the case but tragically doesn't realize it when he's staring her in the face. Ultimately there was a similar amount of resolution but in a very different way. Made for a nice twist.

SUNDERLAND TIL I DIE - well if you're an Anglophile as I would describe myself, this is must-see telly… Great Netflix 8-part doc about (you've guessed it): FC SUNDERLAND.
I've only watched two eps so far but am completely in love... It helps that I don't give a toss about football so I've no idea what actually happened with the team in the Championship last year
