Re: Good TV (aka, the TV series spamthread), the second series
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.

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.

Great news! Glad to hear it as we are going to start it tonight ourselves.

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?'Medicine Man wrote: ↑Fri Oct 05, 2018 4:42 pmGreat news!

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....

Re: Good TV (aka, the TV series spamthread), the second series
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.

Re: Good TV (aka, the TV series spamthread), the second series
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.
