Better Call Saul

Curb your enthusiasm

Don't have a tv. It is rotten

Leftovers is over, it will be one of my all time favorite shows, too bad it got only 8 episodes this season. Halfway through season 2 of Master of None and it's very good. American Gods will be done soon as well as The Handmaid's Tale, it's gonna be just Twin Peaks and Game of Thrones and then catch up time. Silicon Valley is good too, but the last episode was not as good as the previous ones.

I did a binge of both seasons of Amazon Prime's Red Oaks.   It was good, but nothing spectacular.   They favor tennis over golf, which knocks it down a little in my books.

Sad I'm finished with American Gods and The Handmaid's Tale, both finales were very good. A lot of less than rave reviews for AG but I really enjoyed it, only halfway through the book. Handmaid's Tale is a tough watch but a scathing commentary on how screwed up society can be, a cautionary tale. After these two the shows I put on hiatus seem like letdowns.

I agree on AG.   They have woven a pretty interesting tale so far.  I'm not sure if I'll revisit the book,  but I'll definitely watch the second season.  

Its just about that time of year when I sweet talk the missus into getting HBO back for a few months.

Finally watched the Thanksgiving episode of Master of None. Soooo funny and good.

Better call Saul continues to amaze and entertain.  This show, taken from breaking bad has developed on the single presmise of the prequel and given good writing, good casting and strong acting, I believe, in its own way, has surpassed Breaking Bad. Looking forward again to the next season.  Back to finish the latest year of House of Cards.  Other than Orange is the New Black, some news, and golf on Saturdays and Sundays if I don't get bored have become the normal tv watching for me. Replace golf with NE football and Montreal hockey and that is my time in front of the tube.

I watched season 1 of Game of Thrones last week. It was okay. Enough that I'll probably keep watching, but not enough where it really grabbed me.

I think it's a bit slow. Breaking Bad was better in every way, IMO. This is slow. It's been, what, three seasons now and Jimmy is still Jimmy? Heck, he hurt HIMSELF just toward the end instead of putting himself first when he blew his reputation up at the retirement home. That's the opposite of a Saul Goodman move - that's a Jimmy McGill move.

That's all my opinion, of course. Even now I'd probably watch any random episode of BB again (seen them all twice at least, too) than a hand-picked episode of BCS.

Holy Twin Peaks what the hell was that last episode.

Wow...just wow.  By the way,  I. CAN'T. WAIT.

I never watched Twin Peaks when it first came out so it's been fun binge-watching that series.

Yeah, McIlroy works out too much. He's too big. That's The Mountain and Theon Greyjoy (who's what, 5'10" tops)  from Game of Thrones.

Theon's right shoulder looks Photoshopped. Looks weird. The lighting doesn't look off too much, but…? Are they really that differently sized? And I say that having seen the Dwayne Johnson/Yao Ming photo…

I don't know if that photo is completely real or not, but this is McGregor sparing with him and McGregor is probably about the same size or larger than the actor of Theon.
