Knuckles (miniseries)

quite enjoyable


also has Ellie Taylor (Ted Lasso, Strictly Come Dancing 2022) in it as one of the baddies, alongside Rory McCann (The Hound in Game of Thrones) as main antagonist ''the buyer''


also Christopher Lloyd as the voice of Pachacamac

I watched the first 2 episodes of Severance last night, enjoying it so far, its very different

[Nicky91]

also Stockard Channing still serves (at the age of 80!)




some funny and lovely scenes between her character and Knuckles

Started watching the latest series of Slow Horses. OMG .... what a start!


as an aside, the guy from Battle Star Galactica is in it

Finished Season 1 of Severance

Spoiler:

I wasn't sure if it was a one off season or if there would be a season 2, big cliffhanger end though and have to wait till January for S2. Really good show though

…yeah it’s excellent…it’s one of those series though that I’ve forgotten so much detail that I’ll have to rewatch just before any new season…

you can also get apple tv on any computer/tablet if your TV isn't up to it.

Episode 3 comes out Wednesday, and there are 6 in a series, so its possible to watch it all on 1 months sub

…I’ll check with the TV but I know that it’s not one of the ones listed on the remote…and I’ll see if there are any free short subscriptions as I know that I’ll binge it quickly……

[Ammi]

@bots …I do have Apple TV programmed as one of my TV options…(..I know that you can’t stream every site on every TV and it’s not my ancient raggedy old one anymore so I wasn’t sure…)…so I’ll look at it later in the week to see if I can download it for free somehow and start to catchup with Slow Horses soon…I’m looking forward to seeing what this new storyline is……

your mind will be blown in the first 10 mins i think you can watch the first episode without a subscription, episode 1 is always free of charge with apple

…I’m not sure how many free subscriptions they give but I think that I’ve had two already with the last TV…this is a new one so I’m hoping that somewhere there’ll be shiny new freebies as well……I’m so looking forward to watching this season…

I came late to The Walking Dead and Game of Thrones, both of which I've watched this year. Thinking of watching Breaking Bad next. Anyone recommend this, or not?

A big yes to this. Such an amazing show, brilliant characters and the character development from the first to last season is incredible. You will love it

Thanks, Niamh. I'm definitely going to give it a go. Did you watch Better Call Saul too?

I watched most of it, some people prefer that to Breaking Bad but I didn't, I did like it but I kept forgetting about it, I will finish it some day That's probably not a great endorsement

[Ammi]

…although I loved both series, I think that on reflection I preferred Better Call Saul…just because…

Spoiler:

…Walter’s character became so dislikeable whereas I was rooting for Saul right up until the last inhale and exhale of it all…I also loved so many more of the dynamics of the connections of Saul’s story…

Spoiler:

He did and I despised him but I think that's what made the series more compelling than Saul, you need those ones you're rooting against as rooting for and I do love him as a character as in I loved how they turned him slowly from a good, kind and thoughtful man into the monster he became. And how it turned out the high school drop out druggie kid had more heart and was a better person than most of the others in the show

Spoiler:

…I didn’t feel that Saul Goodman remained a ‘good guy’ as such…I think he also had those layers that Walter did …it’s just that he somehow held on to who intrinsically was…whereas I don’t think that Walter did so much…he became lost in it all…/the power…

[Niamh.]

and also

Spoiler:

I really liked how they ended it too, they allowed Walt as much redemption as was realistic to give him. There was no real way he could actually redeem himself after everything he'd done but sacrificing himself for Jesse at the end was about as much as he could do, it's like he finally realised what he'd become

Spoiler:

Oh 100% but you could tell that Saul wasn't a bad guy anyway when he was in BB and that was after better Call Saul time wise

Definitely starting Breaking Bad, maybe tonight. I will give Saul a go too, I really liked that actor in the film Nobody. Thanks...

Oh yeah that was a good film, he is one of my favourite characters in Breaking Bad, there's a lot of great characters in it, enjoy

yeah and

Spoiler:

There was a lot of characters from BB that were in BCS and I knew I recognised them but had forgotten their relevance or part in BB so I was probably missing out on things I was supposed to pick up on too
