Watch Hell or Highwater. Thought that was class. Must revisit.

Ya I've seen it. Brilliant film.

Nothing that hasn't been said before, but after doing Breaking Bad a few months back (which I loved), I binged Better Call Saul in two weeks, which is arguably better. Brilliant stuff.

Some of the fringe actors are brilliant, especially Michael McKean.

I have to go back and finish Better Call Saul. Great show.

I'm watching Woman of the Dead at the moment. Ludicrous but entertaining.

I still haven't watched Better Call Saul and I keep meaning to. Is it actually on a par with BB? The tension watching BB at times was nearly unbearable. I remember well when (name) got done in the desert it was pure painful to watch. Is it anything like that or is there more of a light-hearted angle to it?

It's not as intense as there's a lot of non-action parts. Its either witty court room stuff with Jimmy (Saul) or Mike's back story and him getting into business with Fring. There's cartel stuff too. It all comes together in the last season. Its probably more tragic than anything but not as explosive as BB. Character wise I think its stronger though.

I'll have to get on to it. Fuck it I'm putting that next for after True Detective, which I've finally gotten around to and is brilliant so far 5 episodes in.

Saul is definitely better I have been saying that all along. The quality of breaking bad really started to drop after Gus was killed, The finale was awful and that follow up movie released a few years ago was terrible.

Haven't seen the final season of Saul yet but all of the other seasons are brilliant.

That follow up film was terrible altogether

Started watching Anne with an E on Netflix. About a 14 year old orphan girl in the 1890's in Canada. Not the sort of thing I'd normally watch but it's really well done.

Just the kind of episode The Last Of Us needed at this point.

'Twas great, very moving. I'd hoped that we'd see more of that actor though.

The English was an enjoyable watch. Last episode is heavy on the sop but all in it was good.
