      I tried.

      But… nothing happens.

      Hours go by to nothing happen.

      It was too slow for my taste

      Start with "Slippin’ Jimmy’ ;), then watch BB, then El Camino, then Better Call Saul.

      Rinse & repeat.

          Yes. Most people aren’t aware that ‘Slippin Jimmy’ is a real show. I mean, it’s animated… and it’s terrible. Vince hates it.

          I agree. Start cold with Walter in his Walter tighty whities.

        Hard disagree. BCS is nothing like BB. I loved Breaking Bad, hated Better Call Saul. I couldn’t even force myself to watch the final season.

          Most people that I have talked to prefer Better Call Saul, because Breaking Bad has the stigma of a terrible drug hanging over the premise. It’s harder for Joe Everyperson to watch Breaking Bad because it feels dirty. BCS has a more familiar swindly feeling because that’s who Saul is and Saul represents a lot of people. But so does Walter.

          They’re both great companion series, my point was to make sure anyone reading this would watch Saul after breaking bad. It doesn’t work the other way. Watch it as it was released. Hell, they overlapped at the end (iirc)

          I’m on board here. Didn’t hate hate BCS, but if you’re gonna get into the style of Vince Gilligan, you need to start with breaking bad before you get into better call Saul, because it’s extremely heavy and takes a bit of patience to get through.

          Plus, even though BCS is a prequel, there’s a lot of references to breaking bad, so you should watch breaking bad first.

      I’ve watched it quite recently. It lives up to the hype. But don’t bother with Better Call Saul. It’s nothing like Breaking Bad. I’ve found it boring and annoying.

        Before you get downvoted into oblivion for desecrating a great show, would you like to take a moment to tell the audience what your favorite show is?

            I perfer The Great North.

            I was really hearbroken when they cancelled but it got 5 excellent seasons. It felt like it was written just for me sometimes.

            Its a very specific kind of niche. Those of us that grew up in small mountain towns but ended up in the city can really see the love and detail. I used to watch it with my buddy and we would just be blown away by all the little touches. Really, anyone that spent a significant amount of time in their life in ‘cabin country’ would get a hit of cozy that they didn’t know they needed.

            You can cross this bridge.

            … be careful, every season you’ll be forced to do a musical…

    The original BBC radio version of Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy is absolutely incredible. It’s a radio play read by Douglas Adams, so its a step up from a normal audio book and they do a fantastic job on all the voice acting, sound effects and music. This isnt an adaptation either - the series started as a radio sitcom, and was adapted into books, TV, movies, etc.

    Why does the headphone only has one ear and why does the cable not connect to the side of the phone and instead goes in front of the screen?

    I binged both Parks and Rec and Community after they were finished.

    Game of Thrones had finished all but their last season when I started. (Perfect up until the last season.)

    Midsomer Murders, Poirot, Murder She Wrote.

    The greatest though is Columbo. 13 seasons with 6 to 10 movie length slow burn episodes. Fucking incredible acting and writing.

          I looked it up for the previous comment because I always confuse it with father Ted, and I was surprised to see it’s still on the air. I don’t think I saw it after Sid left. It’s too bad it went downhill, I was excited to check them out. I’ll give them a chance, but I really liked Sid.

    I recently started watching The Blacklist. It’s totally silly, but it’s worth it just to watch a couple of James Spader monologues every episode. They’re silly, too, but he’s so fucking fun to watch.

    The Americans was an amazing show that many people missed. Right up there with Breaking Bad, The Wire, Sopranos, Deadwood, etc.

    Also Star Trek: Next Generation, ST: Deep Space 9, ST: Voyager, ST: Strange New Worlds. Star Trek: The Original Series is super campy and fun, but it’s not great, but it is is great.

    ST:Enterprise, and ST: Discovery suck.

    Also Twilight Zone.

        5 is a really important look at money in politics, the dysfunction of bureacracy, and the decline of journalism (20 years later, the Sun is now a conservative rag)

        i’ll die on the hill that it’s still great tv but it does lack the edge that the earlier seasons had since its premise is about wrapping up the crimes of season 3 and 4, not introducing new ones

      if you liked The Wire, you should check out the other shows from David Simon and the rest of them. Especially Generation Kill and The Deuce.
