Mr_Danger Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Yeah I didn't mind the change of style so much as the overabundance of shit going on. I do think if they carry on in that direction they'll have to bend the facts and timelines massively and it'll lose what made the first season so special.

Loki Posted May 3, 2020 Author Share Posted May 3, 2020 The secondary plot with his kid stretched credibility too far.  His character didn’t need that.  Also not nearly enough Anna Torv and no Hannah Gross at all.  I surely can’t have been the only one hoping they’d hook up.  Still a great series though.

Factotum Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 The Atlanta plot of Season 2 was great as it calls into question whether they're right or not, which I liked. I read up on the case after and it handles it really well. Also, got to say season 2 was worth it for that Charles Manson scene alone. Brilliant.

Mr_Danger Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 But it would have been even better if it didn't play out as a subplot to the BTK stuff. That's the problem with season two, there's loads of stuff to like but it's diluted because they've got the Silence of the Lambs stuff with Kemper/BTK, the personal lives of them all which is fine but some of it is way too heavy for a subplot, and everything in between with the Bureau changes. You can get away with having a full plate of a show if it's handled with deftness and subtlety like Mad Men but it's all 100 mph, and I really liked it still. BCS season 4 is ridiculously good. Hispanic Timothy Olyphant is just as good as real Timothy Olyphant. I love how he dominates every scene he's in and I don't think he's ever not smiled yet he's the most menacing fucker on the show. Like a jovial Stephen Graham he just has a natural intimidating presence. Am I the only person who thinks Howard is alright? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briefcase Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Finished Designated Survivor last night. Series 1 & 2 really good. Series 3 not so much (made by a different production team I think).   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted May 6, 2020 Moderators Share Posted May 6, 2020 Ah gutted, that means I'll have to see Ricky Gervais's smug stupid face on the landing page again at some point. They really need a hide feature in Netflix whereby if you know you don't ever want to watch something you can blacklist it from ever appearing in any category for you.

Factotum Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 I think the Howard thing is crucial to Jimmy's character and now Kim's. How they view him compared to us. The ending of season 5 leads me to believe that's going to explored next season in a big way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Danger Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 So, how many of us googled "Vintage Chicago Bulls shirt" after watching the first episode of The Last Dance? Appalling the prices of basket ball tops aren't they. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're interested, this site (run by the Classic Football Shirts lads) isn't too bad depending on what you're after. https://www.game7sportswear.com/basketball Still not over how as 11 year olds we all went into Kingston one Saturday and my "mate" Jack bought the last white Rodman whilst I had to make do with an Olajuwon 96 USA top (obviously I don't have it still like all my football shirts). Fuming. Edited May 7, 2020 by SuperBacon forgot the linkage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apologies for replying to an old comment, making my way through the thread and saw this. I was about to give up on Breaking Bad after the second series, couldn't get my head around the hype at all. But from series 3 it becomes something else. S3 onwards and then into its spinoff, Better Call Saul, there's some of the best television ever made. I'm not usually one for sitting through hours of TV or movies for the sake of it, but Breaking Bad from 3-5 had me hooked. Watched it for the second time and it was even more enjoyable. Give Series 3 a go and make your mind up after that, you can't really give it a chance until then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
