ah that's disappointing, I'm only 2 episodes in. I am missing Jennifer Coolidge though

I watched the 19th Series of Wie Is De Mol on YouTube.

It was a decent year tbf, but I do think that the last about 3 or 4 episodes kind of sours things a fair bit, without spoiling it for anyone that might be interested in watching it.

All I can say is that I didn't like The Mole in the Series, and one contestant got a ridiculous amount of favouritism.

Also someone else went far in the competition who just wasn't very interesting to watch imo, they were more likable than the actual Mole, but were also possibly more dull.

Overall there were some good contestants in the year, but unfortunately Politics had to play it's part.

So many great series around currently


Quite a few with similar themes

This City Is Ours was great but Mobland with Tom Hardy looks as though it’s gonna be even better !!



Same with Dope Girls. we really enjoyed the first episode then I had a quick look at A Thousand Blows with Stephen Graham and that looked as though it will be better ..


I recently watched Griselda and liked the story / acting but now I am watching Queen of the South and I thinking it’s a level or two better !!!

…I’ve just googled and like the look of it until I got to…’number of episodes - 62…’…probably a bit too big of a watch for me atm but I’ll add it to a for later list…

it's actually well sectioned into seasons, they all have a good end point, so you can do it 10 at a time or whatever it is

…I’ll definitely give it a go at some point, I’m just juggling a few watches atm and not really getting absorbed in any of them…they all feel a bit ok-ish but not great…

Started The Bondsman tonight on Amazon Prime. Kevin Bacon is so good in this and it's Blumhouse. Deffo worth checking out. Short episodes too

…I watched the first episode of that at the weekend…I like the vein of the storyline and the pace, it’s looking like a good series and yeah…Kevin Bacon is very good in the part…

Oh so jealous you get to watch it for the first time. Make sure you watch the spin off film after you finish the series too it's called El Camino

Oh, never heard of it. Will definitely watch it though. Thanks again, might not have bothered if if you hadn't recommended it so highly.

No worries, just don't google anything about the film obviously before you finish the series as you don't want to know what players are left!

Who do you love/hate? I love Mike, Jesse & Saul. Absolutely hate Walter but what a phenomenal character he is, the transformation of his character from S1 to the end is just crazy, he's played that part so well

I love Jesse, he's so full of potential if he could only stay off the drugs. Not sure I've met the other two yet? I'm at the bit where...

Spoiler:

Jesse takes the meth to Tuco, who robs him and puts him in hospital... Walter visits him with some mercury fulminate and makes a new deal. Was not expecting the explosion, excellent little twist.

Walter's complex. I feel sorry for him, his wife seems more interested in her own feelings than his even though he's the one with cancer. Her sister is a nightmare too... I like his DEA brother in law though.

I still haven't finished that I did like it but I just kept forgetting about it (not a great sign I suppose)

It’s gaining momentum as we speak .. many actually prefer it to Breaking Bad

I will pick it back up at some point for sure, I need to try and figure out where I left it off though

I go back and forth on whether I prefer BCS or Breaking Bad. I think overall, probably BCS for me. And I definitely prefer Jimmy McGill over Walter White as a protagonist. But both shows are cream of the crop television.

I like the actor in that... Loved him in 'Nobody'.

[Niamh.]

Bottom line, what really made that show great I think was so many well written and complex characters, whether you loved or hated them

Oh yes, that's so true.

My favourite sub character in breaking bad was skinny pete. There is a 10 second clip showing he is a maestro on the piano ..... just 10 seconds of character detail
