I've watched most of it but never got round to actually finishing it. I enjoyed what I watched but on several occasions I was like "Hang on, what the fuck is going on now, who is this, what...?". Worth a look anyway.

Cool; I'll check it out when I'm done with Star Trek: Discovery.
Between tedium and fright
Such is the song of the nether world
The hissing of rats
And the jarring chants of angels

Finally got around to finishing Altered Carbon, which we'd started several months back. I honestly loved it; it grabbed me right from the start with the core concept behind the world building - the fact that your consciousness is stored on a fancy memory chip implanted in your neck, and it can be transferred and backed up like any other digital data. It really plays around with the concept and imagines a future where it's the norm, and all of the changes to the human condition it brings. It's extremely well produced, it's well acted and it looks stunning. It's probably the best new series I've come across in a few years.

Huzzah!

Also, we've started watching season 4 of Better Call Saul now the final episode airs next week, and it's still great.

If you're anything like us and don't have a photographic memory, I'd maybe suggest watching the last episode of season 3 first... it picks up exactly where the last ended with no recap, so for much of the initial few episodes we've been a bit 'who the fuck is that, why the fuck are they doing that thing?' :lol:

I'm still not entirely clear on Mike's current plotline.

Mike is basically taken up with Polo-man.

I know, I just have no recollection of how that came about in the previous season.

He made him an offer he couldn't refuse if I remember rightly.

It has definitely been a great series yet again.... So much to come too! I keep kidding myself they will have BB characters drift through, but only in the background,, type thing.... Always watch looking for hidden details....

The creators have said they're not against the idea of bringing BB characters into this world, but they'll only do so if it makes sense for the story, not just as fan service. So, it might happen, but probably not and probably not just in like a background cameo role.

Always crossed my mind that you'd have a fairly typical scene with people in it and have some of the old gang be in the background.

Bojack Horseman season 1 & 2

Excellent. At first it all a bit weird but when you get used to the idea of the anthropomorphism and watch it for the storylines it really picks up, especially in S2. I will continue to watch this but before I start with S3 I want to do another comedy first
8/10

Better Call Saul S1

This gets a lot better towards the end after a bit of a laborious start. I really become to appreciate what a great actor Bob Odenkirk is. As a spin off show from Breaking Bad, it is excellent in its own right and I would of continued to watch this regardless that you know he end up as Saul Goodman.
Spoiler
His acting when he finds out his brother, Chuck, continues to think he is a moron is brilliant. You can tell that it is a real punch to the gut but because it comes from his brother whom he loves dearly he has a mental struggle to overlook this. Great acting
7/10
Games playing : Bioshock (Remastered) / Total War Britannia / Dirt 4
