What have you watched on TV?

The Vietnam War (Documentary by Ken Burns)
An incredible feat of TV and an absolute must watch

Does it start with the defeat of the Japs? French post war colonialism or just the USA stuff?

French colonialism from the 19th century.

The season finale of Better Call Saul - absolutely fantastic.

The whole series has been fantastic.

 

[Ricey]

Better call Saul, the whole season has been average at best and very tedious to watch. Too much time wasted on arty shots and scenes than being spent on a decent storyline.

I have to agree. I thought it was fantastic.

That’s your opinion and mine is I thought it was boring and tedious at times.

I never got on with BCS, watched about 4 or 5 of the first series and I was hugely underwhelmed.

Talking of hugely underwhelmed - welcome back to the show that jumped the shark about 4 series ago. The Walking Dull. **** me, someone please end it.

I haven’t had a chance to see the first episode yet, please tell me it’s better than the last terrible season. I’ve invested too much time to just give up on it.

I gave up on it when the guy with the tiger turned up, sounds like I haven't missed anything

Not really. Seems a continuation of the last. No "bad guys" as yet, just a bit of internal unrest between the various camps. Maybe it'll improve, who knows, but it sometimes it was "really?"

Yeah, that was ridiculous! It’s more about fighting different groups than the ‘walkers’ anymore. They seem to have gone into hiding.

I watched the 5 minute trailer and it looked like it had the potential to be better. I just don’t know for how many more season they can drag it out.

Let's face it, the Walkers are fairly pointless. Though it you see a character you've noticed before is always going to get munched on, a lot like those on the USS Enterprise who wore red suits.

I think they are trying something different - they have to, not just continual fire fights between the "good guys" (Rick/Darryl/Carol & Co) and the cycle of baddies. I'll stick with it, at least to the mid-season break and then I'll make the call.

I’m going to have to stick with it regardless, to invest 8 seasons worth you’ve got to keep watching until the very end.

Yeah, I tried that with Lost, hoping it would make it all worthwhile. It didn't.

I got to about episode 2 or 3 with that and gave up.

I’m watching American Vandal at the moment, it’s just easy watching and quite funny.

Maniac. (Netflix)

When I watched Superbad about 10 years ago, I never expected Jonah Hill and Emma Stone would still be Hollywood stars ten years later.

Binged this in a few days. it was ok/pretty good I guess. Great cinematography and score. Emma Stone is great, Jonah Hill looks great after shifting a load of weight but mumbles too much, to the point where I turned on subs.

Personal highlight was the Japanese/British scientist who chain-smokes her way through all ten episodes. I lub her.
