finished S2 of Barry, better than S1, as mentioned above, ep5 was awesome, but finished strongly, shit got real in ep 7 & 8.
Hank & Gene are both awesome characters...
Started The Outsider, very good 2 eps, hoping it doesnt go off the rails like Castlerock after it started well too

Finally caught up on The Expanse. Thought Holden's central story was a little formulaic. 2 tribes clash etc. Bobby's side story was entertaining and she got to fuck a bit of shit up. The election story was an interesting side plot too. Still my favourite program though.
The Witcher - GOT without the wit, fun or cool characters. Still watchable though
Mandalorian - heaps of fun. Loved it. Brought cool back to Star Wars. This is the way.
Now about to finally give Breaking Bad a go. Sorry to anyone offended I haven't watched anymore than 2 eps to this point.

I just finished this myself. I read it is on track to be Netflix's highest streamed show.

Can I recommend you watch Better Call Saul first then, as that is a prequel. Watching in chronological order might make more sense regarding the background of the supporting characters.

I wouldn't recommend that. The Saul character is great with the mystery behind him in BB. Besides the fact BCS isn't finished!

Agree, we watched Breaking bad at the end of last year and are working through BCS now . Odenkirk is a hell of an actor , also theres hall of fame milf Rhea Seehorn

@Bones I know there are still 2 seasons to go but it's not really a surprise now, unless you have avoided all info about BCS. Both shows are great in their own different ways.
Well ok. Can't say I've ever seen info about BCS anywhere other than BCS! I like the mystery of Saul, Mike etc in BB.

Yeah, Mikes backstory is just as good as Sauls .

Jesus fuck. I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

Mrs Browns boys is nothing to laugh about.
Excellent news though, next time a pom has a dig about NZ being uncultured I'll just mention this and they'll hang their head and apologise.

What's even funnier is those Ant and Dec twats receiving their usual presenting award even though they presented nothing together all year

It’s probably a bribe to stop them from making anything else “ look , we will give you an award every year as long as you never ever remind us of your existence again”.
If so thanks to all involved

'For all Mankind' on Apple TV+
Watched the first ep which was great. An alternative reality where the Ruskies beat the US to the first man on the moon which then starts a tit for tat escalation of space race 'firsts'
Some reviews can't help but see it through the current political environment lenses and claim it is a vehicle for woke-ness (first woman, first black etc etc) but anything with a premise of showing great space shots and continuing, what was a cool period in history instead of it fizzling out, sounds alright to me. No need to read much into it.
Production values are high and the scripting/acting of good quality. Not groundbreaking but looks like it could be a good watch.
Going to time it right for a one week free trial and binge this.

That's Ron D Moore right? Worth a watch just to see what he's doing these days. Might do the trial thing too.

I really enjoyed FAM. Yeah it’s easy to see it through a woke lens but there are some good side issue raised too, like the morality of hiring von Braun, Nixon’s narcissism, and whether Jimmy Carter would ever have been president in Ted Kennedy hadn’t attended that party. Keep watching till after the end credits of the last episode for a real geek moment.
