Still on episode one and the bush fire has just started behind the RV thanks to that stupid bastard throwing his fag out the window. It's actually quite good!

Ah youve got lots of excitement to come. Best show ever!

I'm SO jealous! You're in for a treat. I remember regularly laughing with delight at just how brilliant the storyline was.

Tootyfilou · 21/08/2026 21:58

Lucky you! It is absolutely brilliant.

Jealous. It’s one of my favourite series ever.

CoffeeBotherer · 21/08/2026 22:08

I might have to rewatch it. I recently rewatched The Wire and it's definitely still worthy of the hype. So I know I'll enjoy BB again, especially since I've forgotten most of it! I envy you watching it for the first time.

dragonsandfairies · 21/08/2026 22:15

Ive watched this series about 5 times now and never get bored.
Im so jealous though, id love to watch it for the first time again!
You may find that after a few episodes you want to finish every sentence with "yo" and "bitch" 🤣🤣🤣🤣

GameOfJones · 21/08/2026 22:19

It is my favourite ever series.... I'm jealous of you getting to watch it for the first time.

BotoxOrPuffins · 21/08/2026 22:21

Best series ever! I think it's series 2 is very slow but oh my goodness it is so worth the wait. Loved it so much!

This!
“Church yo” and “science bitches” are regular phrases in our house 😆

And you've probably got Better Call Saul to watch after too. Be prepared for some binge watching.

Crinkle77 · 21/08/2026 23:53

I watched it but wouldn't say it was the best series ever. All the characters were vile although I did love Mike.

Iocanepowder · 21/08/2026 23:55

Enjoy op :)

GreySweater · 21/08/2026 23:56

I thought it was amazingly well written, made and acted. Have watched it twice. The characters are all utterly brilliant. Some seriously stressful moments! One of the best things I’ve ever watched.

Giggorata · 21/08/2026 23:56

I was late coming to this series too. It is one of the best, enjoy!

TheGospelAccordingToMe · 22/08/2026 00:51

It's so good. I've got it saved in my watchlist and I think it's been long enough now to watch it again without remembering what happened. One of the best series ever.

Disturbia81 · 22/08/2026 01:59

So jealous you get to watch it with new eyes! I’m on my 15th rewatch 😂

BurntBroccoli · 22/08/2026 02:02

I’ve never seen it either…

WirralCyrille · 22/08/2026 02:13

BurntBroccoli · 22/08/2026 02:02

I’ve never seen it either…

Definitely worth watching if you can find the time (there are a lot of episodes). I don’t normally do box sets but BB had me gripped from the first episode.

Giraffehaver · 22/08/2026 02:26

BB is a masterpiece in television. I am so so jealous. You've got such a treat in store

SpinelessBastardsAll · 22/08/2026 03:09

Brilliant series,please watch Better Call Saul too, it's hands down the best programme ive ever seen. (Once you get past the strangely slow first episode)

researchers3 · 22/08/2026 03:13

It gets seriously dark OP! Be warned!

So good. Loved the ending! I'll say no more!! 😃

Charalam · 22/08/2026 04:53

I think I've watched BB more than 12 times, an absolute masterpiece of TV.

Illicililly · 22/08/2026 04:55

Great show, and then you’ve got Better Call Saul to watch, which is brilliant!

MoveAwaySausage · 22/08/2026 05:03

This is one of those series where dh and I would look at each other like 😮 a lot.

Loved it.

Wynter25 · 22/08/2026 05:05

Love it! May rewatch it
