Keith Houchen Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Onto the last season of Better Call Saul. Just wanted to say how this in the last episode had me in absolute hysterics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted August 29, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted August 29, 2022 Finished it last night, such an incredible show with a finish as subtle as you'd expect from it. I think it'll never quite garner the appreciation it deserves because of being in Breaking Bad's shadow. Which I suppose is fair game- this show wouldn't be what it is if it wasn't a spin-off from BB. I thought Lalo was a fine addition tbh, an absolutely unhinged menace. One of the most unnerving characters I've seen since Javier Bardem in that gas station scene in No Country For Old Men. For me Howard was the opposite to Walt and Saul in that he had a slow burning face turn across the entire run. A genuine good guy with no shades of grey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Danger Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 (edited) Spoiler I love Lalo, just a straight up cartoon villain amongst a fantastic cast of shades of grey characters. With Howard I think there was always a sense that his good guy act was a pretence and he was a prick underneath it all and as it unraveled it turned out he was genuine. I’ll pop it in tags seeing as people are still working their way through BCS. Edited August 29, 2022 by Mr_Danger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SuperBacon Posted August 29, 2022 Members Share Posted August 29, 2022 I forgot to add when I finished the show but it took me all 6 series to figure out who Howard talks like. It's Big Suze from Peep Show. It bugged me the entire time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wordsfromlee Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 Was not expecting that to come back! I thought it had kinda run it's course. 2024 is a hell of a wait though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidB6937 Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 Fuck me. That was not what I was expecting to read coming in here. One of my favourite shows. Never expected more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted September 6, 2022 Author Paid Members Share Posted September 6, 2022 Haven't watched much telly recently but Killing It is largely great aside from that weird episode where Jillian's looking after the house. Also, Tim Heidecker with another win over Gregg Turkington. I started rewatching Brooklyn Nine Nine with my 15yo as well and they love it. Still amazed by how consistently good it was.

Still amazed by how consistently good it was. Me and the Mrs are on our first watch of this about midway through season 5 now. The main cast all have something to offer and I like how they've touched on some serious issues without changing the shows dynamic. Plenty of big characters and laughs throughout. I can't believe we persisted with watching all of Parks and Rec before we started this. It wasn't worth it even for Ron Swanson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted September 7, 2022 Moderators Share Posted September 7, 2022 (edited) The wheels really fell off with parks and rec towards the end. I'm on something like my 4th go around of Brooklyn Nine Nine and it's as good as it ever was. This watch through will culminate in watching the last season for the first time. Somewhat anxious as to what that's going to be like. Edited September 7, 2022 by Chest Rockwell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted September 7, 2022 Awards Moderator Share Posted September 7, 2022 I thought the last season was probably the weakest - you can tell they were struggling with the events of 2020, both Covid-y and relating to police, and there are some timeline issues. But the finale is really good and a strong end for the show as a whole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
