Anybody watching? I binged season 3 in preparation and now I'm having to dial back to once a week for Season 4.

Still loving it though. Watching on Netflix btw.

Gail sexy? Yep, I think that may be just you

Excellent fleas - I will have him all to myself! Grin

Massively charismatic I’ll give you, but maybe that’s because we’ve seen his Dark Side 😉.

bonfireheart has that treat to come!

Thanks. I didn't make it past series 1.5 of BB!

No fleas - you are not wrong, it is the lab.

I'm surprised at the time scale - in BB I got the impression that Saul had been for many years a criminal lawyer, (as opposed to a criminal lawyer) sorting money laundering and get-out-of-jail-free cards for the drug guys. Here it seems as though he is juts getting re-started as a lawyer at the same time that Gus builds his underground meth lab.

I did like the way he got his new name though - when he said to Kim, "Don't worry. 'S'all good, man!"

I'm looking forward to the next series - I want to know what happens with Kim. Such a great character.

Am I the only one who thinks Gail is very sexy?

Well I’m assuming the lab where they used to do the ‘cook’ in BB. Am I wrong?

What are they building?!

I’ve enjoyed this series but It feels oddly disconnected. I can’t believe I didn’t suss what they were building until Gail appeared.

This season never felt like it actually got started.

Finally watched the end of this latest season.
Thought it was the weakest of all, far too self indulgent with all but a few episodes failing to deliver.
Love Gus though.

To be fair Bonfire, I think it's the character. The actor interprets the role (I assume),but the writer, producer and director surely have a say in how the character is portrayed, and would insist on ether vision they had?

I was never sure whether the problem with Skyler was the way she was written or the a acting- or both?
Kim is amazing.

Skyler White had to be the most tatty, annoying whinging PITA on tv- ever.

She certainly is! She's worse than Joyce Barnaby on Midsomer Murders.

At least Joyce is just terminally tedious - she doesn't whine incessantly.

Kim is brilliant! And the actress (like all of the cast, actually) is amazingly good.

I love Kim, I think she might be my fave female character.

I tried with BB first two seasons twice, but disliked Walt and Skyler, had no sympathy for either of them. Totally opposite of Jimmy and Kim. Would like to see Jimmy back to being a lawyer soon.

Mike, Hank and Saul are my favourite characters too Oh, and I liked Gus Fring as well.

Skyler White had to be the most tatty, annoying whinging PITA on tv- ever. Can't stand her. I'm sure Walt would (in RL) have had a hit on her and buried her in a shallow unmarked grave in the desert.

Oooh I am all over this thread. Mike is my favourite tv character of all time! BCS has all the best B.B. characters and no annoying Walt or Skyler.. I wouldn’t mind a Hank cameo though. 😂

@Schaden, inspired by your post I re-watched the last ever episode of Nurse Jackie on Now TV. Every bit as powerful the second time around. I think I may need to go back to the beginning.

I also loved The Big C. Sensing a theme here...

Last episode a goodie. How does Mike know how to do everything? Massive excavation in secret in desert; disposal of dead body; dodgy medics .. he is one to rely on in a crisis.

Nurse Jackie is one of the best things I've ever watched.

I'll have to dig out the DVDs and re-watch it.

I enjoyed Nashville @Blindy but I have to be honest, deep it ain’t. It’s very much at the lighter end of the entertainment spectrum. Nothing wrong in that - it’s ideal for a flu day when your brain needs a rest.

If I were to recommend a series to commit to it would be Nurse Jackie without a doubt. Love that woman!

Any luck yet schadenfreude? I've resorted to rewatching Breaking Bad. On Season 2 and loving it. I'm enjoying the dialogue. "Tight, like two balls in a nutsack" Grin (Skinny Pete describing his relationship with Tuco to Jesse).

@Blindy I may be slightly paranoid about unexpected turns for the worst following a tv car accident having binge watched Nashville.

fleas I haven't seen Nashville. Is it worth watching?

The most recent episode shows the transition between Saul and Gene!

It must be like finding a fiver you didn't realise you had in your purse, or digging through the cupboard and finding a forgotten packet of chocolate hob-nobs at the back - still in date!

And now I’ve got chocolate round my mouth and crumbs all over my chest Schaden Grin




The cinnabun thing is after breaking bad. I one of the episodes he says if it all goes wrong the most he can hope for is managing a cinnabun under a new name. He left bb with that guy who gives new identities

I LOVE these little references from BB. Clever you for spotting it @Donthugmeimscared
