chester Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 Spoiler And I'm not trying to sway anybody into watching BB. When I started it the first time, I didn't understand why goofy Hal from Malcolm was in this role. Turns out, he was perfect. You take him as a weak man in the beginning. The morphing into evil was genius. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly not a real dude I really enjoyed the show, and knew a lot of people who did that covered a broad range of demographics. But I never thought those who didn't care for it were outliers. Possibly because I don't often follow he crowd, many of the greatest shows and movies never appealed to me (24, Friends, Titanic, etc.) I like things like racing that few in America care for (outside of NASCAR and Supercross).

SeductiveNun Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Gotta side with Rajn on this. Both of my brother in laws raved about this show, one of the best ever they said. We watched it up until the episode with the fly. I was done, but they convinced the wife to keep going because “it got better”, so she pushed on. I reluctantly went along. Watching each episode felt like I was a kid trying to choke down something I hated at dinner just get it over with. My reasons for not liking it - I couldn’t stand most of the characters. Loathed them actually. There was a very brief part of the story I enjoyed, but it was minor and over with quickly. Good for you if you liked this show, but if I knew then what I know now though I would have never wasted the time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to like it because everyone was so into it, but it just never sucked me in and I felt like I was forcing myself to watch something I didn't really want to watch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's difficult for me to get into a show when none of the characters connect with me Similarly, we watched all of Yellowstone and Game of thrones, but again, I couldn't care about any of the characters. Also "great" shows. I know people love "the office", but couldn't get past a few episodes. Loved The Office & GoTh. Haven't watched Yellowstone yet, but plan to at some point.

Ramhock Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 As great as BB is, Better Call Saul is not far behind. It is my 2nd best grouping, right behind Fargo, movie and 3 seasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrab Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 I was flipping thru the channels other day and BB was on, it was the pilot episode and I had forgotten just how wild it was when it all started. I was afraid the final season of Better Call Saul was going to move to a streaming platform, glad to see it will be on AMC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course many loved The Office and I couldn't stand it. I don't have HBO other other premium cable or pay streaming services so don't have many of these programs available without spending more $$$.

Gomorrah might be tough for you to find with English subtitles . I believe there are a few seasons on netflix but finding every season is tough. I have an android streaming box that allowed me to get it . Gomorrah is about Mob dealings in Naples. very gritty show. I loved it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chester Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Yeah, Irish, you've got to watch Sons. You're going to get a boring episode every once in a while, but it's worth it for the good parts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
