    Wrath

    I got half way through the series, liked it, but haven't been back to it yet.

    Excellent production values, and a very interesting premise.

    It's good Wrath. I think it drags on a bit and I found myself losing attention but it gets better again at the end of the season.

    Are we talking about Man In The High Castle here or West Ham United?

    Silent films might not be to everybody's taste but I spent an enjoyable half or so this morning watching Buster Keaton's My Wife's Relations. I don't think he was ever as successful or highly regarded as Chaplin or Laurel & Hardy but I think he would always be my choice.

    House of Cards fantastic again

    The 100 looking good again.

    Black sails on amazon prime worth watching

    Vikings in amazon prime worth watching

    Marvels agents of shield brilliant again

    Loving House of Cards.


    Not feeling the new X Files much.

    I watched House of Cards in three days.

    So, Breaking Bad, does it get better after a slow start? Have seen first 4 episodes and it really hasn't grabbed me, not feeling the love for it so far. Seems to be popular on here, but does it take a while to get going?
  • LukerzLukerz
    Given their are 62 episodes, I'd suggest judging it after 4 is premature.

    Season 1 is certainly the slowest. Like any long running show, you have to be patient at times.

    Buffy.....I had to watch the first episode of Housr of Cards at least 3 times......until I finally got it....never looked back....just finished the latest lot.

    Don't give up on Breaking Bad, I'd be surprised if you didn't like it.

    ;ok

    A brilliant series, probably the best I've ever seen. Stick with it. Season 3 + 4 are my favourite. It gets so good! ;ok

    Buffy, it has some great moments but it is slow until the last season - the only one I really enjoyed. The pace varies and its more about all these building tensions than the drama, I think. Perhaps put aside expectations, what ruined it for me at the beginning was how much people had hyped it, claiming it was better than The Wire etc. so I was expecting something different.
  • SuzanneClaretSuzanneClaret
    I might go back to Breaking Bad then, I really struggled with it. But if its worth persevering....

    So much to watch, so little time....



    I don't persevere with things any more. They get a couple or 3 hours, if they can't hook me in that time I move on to something that will give me enjoyment ;wave

    Breaking Bad is definitely worth sticking with it gets better with each series Bryan Cranston is very good in it

    Buffy, I gave up originally on Breaking Bad as I hated the pilot when it first aired but went back to it after hearing the hype. I finished it and I enjoyed it, it's very well acted and the arc of the lead is brilliant. The artistic style and nuances are up there with the best.

    However, I don't think it's as amazing as many say it is, personally. It's not the best thing on tv. The supporting characters are mostly quite weak. The side stories are few and far between and there are a lot of slow episodes. Don't get me wrong, I still enjoyed it and when it has a great episode it is a truly incredible show. But it isn't as consistent or as grand as the populace says it is. It's a good all round show, but it's not going to dazzle you with action or dialogue on a regular basis, just sporadically.

    All of you get amazon prime and watch Black Sails + Vikings. Or get the free trial and watch it.
  • OutcastLondonerOutcastLondoner
    Spot-on Eski ;ok Most of the characters really irritated me.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Thanks for all the feedback folks. I'm giving it a bit longer as most of you seem to think it's worth sticking with.

    I like Elementary too.
  • Pearces_Left_FootPearces_Left_Foot
    Line of Duty on BBC very good
  • HantshammerHantshammer
    Apologies if already mentioned but if you liked "Breaking Bad" have a look at the spin off-"Better Call Saul" currently on series 2.
    Love that crazy family on "Alaskan Bush People" too!
  • HamstewHamstew
    Last man on earth is an easy enjoyable watch
  • grey_til_I_dyegrey_til_I_dye
