Breaking Bad

[naomi24]

I know this has been around for a long time but I've only just given it a try ... and three episodes in I'm loving it. It reminds me of Mad Dogs, the superb 'black comedy' starring Philip Glenister.

Any thoughts?

[Arksided]

Yes PP keep taking them my dear.

[Arksided]

..also PP... so if you dont know it is about someone making crack cocaine

So that's what its about OK, sure yes it is.
My point was that naomi that's the OP... at the time had only watched three episodes, most people recognised this and didn't post any spoilers.

[naomi24]

I've just started on Series 2. Still loving it.

Incidentally, they're making crystal meth.

I rather fancied watching it but its not on terrestrial tv ????

[emmie]

is it i didn't know that, how many seasons is there.

[emmie]

will see if can watch some soon then

[naomi24]

According to google, five. 62 episodes in total.

[emmie]

ok thanks

[ladybirder]

The Sopranos was 86 episodes. I found that every bit as good in its day.

[emmie]

I have just finished watching all seven seasons with 22 episodes to a season of The West Wing, brilliant.

[emmie]

i do have them all on DVD but ALL 4 is showing them all

'Ethos', we've just finished on Netflix, it is brilliant, working on many levels, superb script, directing, & photography. The dubbing from Turkish into English is flawless & echoes the emotions portrayed on screen, an extraordinary wide range of characters whose lives are intertwined.
Has else anyone seen it?

[naomi24]

I haven't seen that, Khandro, but I'll take a look.

[Khandro]

I think you will like it, you have everything from submission & resistance to Islam to Jungian psychiatry!

[naomi24]

Okay, thanks Khandro.

I haven't seen the Sopranos either, that LB mentioned.

// Incidentally, they're making crystal meth.// the observant Naomi

oh Naomi - youre spoiling a good readable knock-about thread ( smack bam pow PP is wrong again) with some very cogent points ( he isnt this time) - naughty girl ! that IS'NT how AB "works".

Most of them in BB survive a lot ( o damn another spoiler)
and that allows space for prequels and Better Call Saul

un like Mad Dogs ( spoiler ) - where the triumphant drive around town with cheers is a fantasy ending - they are in fact at the bottom of a sand pit

Did actually watch BB twice - a record for me - to see why Heisenberg appears on the wall of his house
it just does, doesnt it? I mean we know WHY but we dont see anyone doing it

[Peter Pedant]

// My point was that naomi, that's the OP//
erm PP isnt the OP
Naomi is - and er I think knows it. ( that's not a spoiler is it - - or am I er wrong again?)

anyway enjoy BB - yes I will have a look at Ethos - there is a starsky and hutch a la turque but with subtitles

Cleaner - corrupt scene of crime officer - good but any would be pathologist would be able to skewer the mistakes ( turning the bodies post mortem etc) good plot tho

[Khandro]

PP Yes, do look at Ethos, hang in there & come back

[Arksided]

PP... //Most of them in BB survive a lot ( o damn another spoiler)

Better call saul is a prequel.

*Spoiler*
You watched it twice and didn't see Jesse Pinkman write Heisenberg in Walt's house with Skinny Pete and Badger, thats an integral part of the plot in that episode.
