I missed the last couple of episodes.  I've been slacking on my AMC programs.

I started watching 'The Knick'.  I like it so far, and it's Cinemax so there is gratuitous nudity involved. :-)

Playing pool tonight, so it'll be on my DVR.  But can't wait to watch it.

I dumped Walking Dead. Watched about 10minutes last night and realized just how much apathy I had. So drop one AMC show, pick up another.

What's it about?

To show how far behind I am, I just finally made it through Game of Thrones S1D4 (I can skip the 2 minute intro now) and eventually gave up on keeping up with Sons of Anarchy.

I caught some mid-season House of Cards on a flight and HAVE to binge watch it from the start now!  But God knows when I will be able to do so.

I had the same reaction to Breaking Bad.  I watched 4 eps (to be fair) and could not figure out the draw.

I'm thinking one would have to be a fan of Breaking Bad to enjoy Better Call Saul.  Maybe not.  I'll definitely be watching S2.

House of Cards is absolute greatness!  I watched S3 (twelve episodes!) in one sitting the day it came out.

Game of Thrones is really good too, but can be difficult to follow.  I'm currently on S5/E3.

Deplorable since 2016

Games of Thrones is decent for a TV show but if you really want to enjoy it, read the books.  I never could get in to House of Cards, but then Kevin Spacey annoys me.

It took me a few episodes to get in to Breaking Bad, but it is really good.

Depends on if you've seen Breaking Bad.  Better call Saul is a prequel to the character "saul" from Breaking Bad.  So it's a "origin" story about this ambulance chasing lawyer who's actually really smart, struggles with morality, and can't ultimately fit into the world of being a high profile trial lawyer.  He's a schemer, and a talker, but he also knows his shit.  After season one, it's still up in the air which way he'll go in terms of being a good guy or not, but we get a sense.......

I gave up on Sons of Anarchy after binge watching a few seasons.  It got too soap opera-ish for me.......

I just binged on portlandia which turns out to be pretty hilarious.

That stupid truck is going to get that guy killed.  He was dumb enough to leave Nacho alone... now he knows where he lives.  Should have listened to Mike.

Of all the random people to bring back from Breaking Bad.  KENWINS.  That was a thing of beauty & brilliance.

Damn. Am continually amazed at the writing, directing & cinematography.  Not to mention the acting.

Highly recommended stuff. Wow.

I was ready to dismiss this as a filler or throwaway since it was the first episode of a new season, but Vince Gilligan continues to amaze me as one of the best writers and directors on television.  I can't wait to see what happens next week.

Have mentioned this before, but am shocked at Bob Odenkirk's acting chops.  He was more of a sketch/improv comic.  But he has truly developed into a hell of an actor.

He has a great cast, and like Chris says he is backed up by the best.  I love this show and I hope that it succeeds.

It should.  The wonderful creator, Vince Gilligan, has said that he had no concrete plan on a spin off.  But the direction they chose could not be better.

Better Call Saul has turned out fantastic.

I think it's the first time someone has written a joke for her.  I was wondering if she had a sense of humor at all.  She was getting turned on over the idea of raking Sandpiper over the coals.
