First episode of She-Hulk came out today. Not watched it yet so can't comment but getting a lot of good feedback on social media. Decent cast in it, probably worth a go.



First episode here:

Better Call Saul

What a cracker. No idea why it took me so long to watch as I bloody loved Breaking Bad. I've now got another 53 episodes to keep me busy...

:dance:
Yes, it's a slow burner but well worth it

In contrast to you I have precisely one episode left to watch of the whole series.

Enjoy...

Finished Better Call Saul(BCS) Season 6

Whilst very much enjoying all of the series collectively, I didn't really enjoy season 6. Or rather specifically the part 2(eps 8 to 13). Part one was very good

Just seemed to lose its way a bit for me

That said I'm sad it has come to an end. It was a strangely gripping show. But I would understand why some might not like it.

Almost through season 2 now. It can be a slow burner in places like you said but I think the reason I'm pretty gripped to it is all down Bob Odenkirk (Jimmy/Saul). Think he's fantastic.

Yeah Saul Goodman was the best character in Breaking Bad IMO. This spin off was really good, slow burner but high quality production. I think the in-depth build up of the main characters is what makes it slow, Chuck especially.

He’s a good guy deep down, just beaten back through the course of life until he found his place. He and the show will be missed.

Outer Range

Finished watching this 8 episode show, which is like Yellowstone meets The Matrix

I thought lead character actor Josh Brolin was very good. And the girl who played Amber is from London she was really good too.

I noticed the guy who played the Son Perry, he played Wendy's Brother Ben in Ozark and was truly outstanding in that role! He has a more modest role in this show

Some very good acting performances as I say but the storyline was just too fantastical for my liking.

I don't think I'd bother watching a second series.

Not a bad show by any means, just the super weird plot was not quite my bag.

7/10 for me

1st episode of House of the Dragon (prequel to Game of Thrones) finished a couple of hours ago but is already available on PirateBay. Good quality at 1080.

Couldn't comment. Not my scene and was downloaded for others in the family.

I will say the dragon in the opening scene was impressive.

Edit: It's now on HDPrime for those that have it. I won't be pestered for future episodes to be downloaded.

Just watched it, and thoroughly enjoyed it. I think it's quite simple really: if you liked GoT, you'll like this; if you didn't, you won't!

Good to see Matt Smith with a prominent role, one of my favourite Doctors.

Enjoyed GoT, but didn't finish it - got to S05 I think. Was thinking of revisiting GoT, but may give this a go first...... Problem is, I've just got too much to watch!!
When I worked overseas, I simply picked a series or movies to watch for the duration and downloaded several before I left. Now I've been unable to travel, but still in the same habit plus all I want on UK TV..... I think I now have enough!! :thumb:

Now that said..... "Big Sky" up to Season 3.....

Watched and would agree your summary. Yes, 'Throners' will not be disappointed!

I was never a huge fan of GoT but that said I watched it all and it proved to be fairly solid entertainment and somewhat spectacular at times.

I'll be continuing with HotD for as long as it continues to equally entertain me

I’ve just looked on Amazon Prime and H of the D isn’t listed - did you mean another network?

He said HD Prime, the UK TV subscription channel, not Amazon.
