 Agree as well on the last point, last series of Breaking Bad blew me away but at the same point in time BCS is better. 

 

I think my wife summed it up best when she said that BCS doesn't have as many annoying characters; Skylar, Walt Jr., Marie, etc. **** me they used to do my head in.

 

BCS has better overall pacing and some really clever concepts in terms of the way it tells the story.

Saw penultimate episode of new Bojack season last night and wow, so harsh. Had me properly choked up. 

 

He hits rock-bottom at the end of most seasons but I really feel for him this time around. He doesn't make things easy for himself though.

 

I think this season has been absolutely incredible in terms of the way that each episode has used a totally different method of delivery. 

 

IMO it's the most honest, funny and intelligent thing to air on TV in my lifetime.

 

I doubt many people could watch Bojack and not relate to a character or story-line and really feel something from it. So good.

I always get them two mixed up. 

Not sure how. If you confuse Bradley Walsh with anyone, surely it's Lois Walsh?

 

Dr Who was a bit naff, but first doctor/companion intro episodes usually are: they're still on generic "bit weird aren't they" opening episodes that ended up with Matt Smith dipping fish fingers in custard and Capaldi playing guitar while riding a tank; and writing an interesting villain gets shelved in favour of establishing the companions.

Just started watching Goliath. Do quite enjoy a bit of Billy Bob Thornton.

I loved Karl Pilkington but I think he's done it to death now. I'll keep at it, but the first episode of Sick Of It was rubbish.

I'm really enjoying it. enjoyed everyone of them so far

[lgfualol]

BCS is amazing and Bob Odenkirk is ****ing brilliant. I will be sad when it ends.

 

I am a big fan of "The Man in the High Castle" and the new season is really damn good. 

[Guest MattP]

It's all good man.

[Carl the Llama]

So the new BCS season is finally over? I know what I'll be binging when I get back from my hols.

[Uranyl Yellow]

This Country follow up was quality

 

Mum, there's no 'oles in me crumpets...

[Stadt]

Opening scene to the BCS finale got me in the feels 

 

There it is, the crashing reminder that Jimmy is actually a horrible human being, easy to forget that he is. Thematically the whole episode is sobering, Mike and Jimmy are characters we're hugely sympathetic to but actually they're criminals and they cant be redeeming all of the time.[/spolier]

Yeh, the court portrait skit has been done quite a few times in various guises, but it was done well and was genuinely very funny. I must re-watch series one sometime - as I remember you could never really tell what Kerry's Mum was shouting, but it has now become completely understandable. Or maybe I've just grown accustomed to the shouty gibberish and can translate it.

Unfortunate choice of words.

Started watching Elite on Netflix. Got two of the same actors in from Money Heist (the 2 that played Denver and Alison Parker). 

 

Bit of intrigue about it. I'll persist for now  

[Legend_in_blue]

The Haunting of Hill House on Netflix.

 

Excellent first episode.  Couple of jump scares, one for 10pm at night.  Interested to see where it goes.  Rated very highly on imdb.

At least the Tardis has got plenty of room for all Dr Who's shoes and make up 

....AND  its so draughty AND the walls need painting AND those curtains don't go with the carpet !

[Guest MattP]

Killing Eve is genuinely brilliant, I think it's the best opening series I've seen.

Have to admit I wasn't all that interested in watching it but I can't pass up a nude scene

[ithuriel]

Second episode of the latest iteration of DrWho was pretty decent and the show has the old classic vibe though obviously money has been spent on it, wonder where the location of this episode was?

Can't wait for the new David Attenborough series Dynasties.

Keep getting little teasers but still not sure when it starts.

It's such a refreshing change from having to put up with Moffat week in week out and his never-ending attempts at supposed clever writing and ridiculous story arcs.

 

It's back to basics, it's old school, what the heck, they've even managed to pull off the theme tune right. 

 

Even Bradley Walsh is decent.

 

I'm enjoying it, I like the widescreen and Jodie is doing a great job imo.  Let's just keep fingers crossed the stories don't let her down like they did with Smith's final season and all of Capaldi's.
