"Just got a free Amazon Prime membership, but outside of the football coming up in December, and some old movies, there doesn't seem to be much on there. Anything decent I'm missing?"

A confession was extremely well done I thought. The capture pissed me off as soon as they introduced the yank guy. Interesting start but fell away badly. The arrogance of not closing off the finale also pissed me off. TWD season 10 has started very well.

The finale of Succession. Fuck. Just fuck. Amazing television.

"Have to say I was a little bit disappointed but it was still a good watch, quite flashback heavy thought also could there be more? The letter handed over near the end (without giving any spoilers) may link into another part???"
Re: Tv Box sets thread again - recommendation pls
I reckon Vince Gilligan always had the story about what happened to Pinkman at the back of his mind. And most likely felt between giving Saul his send off (Next year) It was the right time to wrap up the Jessie side of the saga.? Does it make BB or BCS less great. Nope. And I doubt very much a million plus angry fans will be demanding Netflix re film it again because it wasn’t the ending they wanted. It was a good way to saying goodbye. I hope Saul gets a great send off. ALL HAIL THE KING

"RBshorty 4:08 Sun Oct 13 I found El Camino to be quite average, couple of good scenes but quite poor for the most part 6/10 for me, the series set the bar impossibly high so was quite disappointed myself"

"Gavros 12:09 Wed Oct 2 'I've just got through the first season of Breaking Bad. It's good, can recommend.' Thanks Gav. I've never heard of Breaking Bad, not least because it's never mentioned on this thread. For that reason I'm most appreciative of your up to the minute review and recommendation"

"El Camino. If you’re a Breaking Bad fan it’s good closure for the Pinkman character. And ties up a few lose ends you may, or may not have asked.? Is it essential viewing for any BB fan. Not really. But it is enjoyable. A solid 8 out of 10. ALL HAIL THE KING."

"Caught up on the newest episode of south park last night, after the most recent episode titled ""band in China"" the whole of the Chinese internet has been scrubbed of anything relating to south park. Some people really can't laugh at themselves"

"Just watched first two episodes of Godfather of Harlem. Prequel to American gangster. All about Bumpy Johnson, denzel’s mentor in the film. Ain’t bad. Only thing I don’t like is that it’s set in the late sixties and they use new rap music in it. Surely should be music from that period of time. Other than that ain’t bad."

"Eddie B 12:12 Sat Oct 5 Manifest is tying itself in knots. It'll be cancelled after the third ""season"" which will end on a ridiculous cliffhanger and well be none the wiser about what happened in the first place."

"Also, without giving too much away, can somebody explain to me the rather large hole (among many) in the Capture plotline.... ...the chubster woman who saw the faked footage from the CCTV room - how come she saw all of that, but didn't see them filming several versions of the same incident, from multiple angles, over several weeks, at the very same spot? Surely she's have said: ""Oh yeah, I remember there was this ludicrous group of overpaid and under-utilised barristers who, naturally, were always going to link up with a series of relatives of victims of crime, to set up an entire TV set on the street in order to film the fake abduction of one of them simply to prove an already-existing point that CCTV can be doctored. Yeah, they were there all week, rehearsing an attack of some sort, and, now I come to think of it, that was indeed unusual. Because, lo and behold, by some extraordinary coincidence, such an attack just happened to take place just at the same spot."""

"The finale of Capture was predictably poor. You could sense that the series ran out of steam in the penultimate episode - when the dramatic over-reaches just went too far. By the last half an hour of the final episode, the writers had nothing left to give. So the production company used all the classic tricks of long, lingering shots (alluding to the ""difficult"" choices facing the characters), and serene music overlaid with near-slo mos. It's almost always a sign that they've run out of ideas of how to end something. Classic TV series where a decent concept is prioritised above seeing the plot lines through to a decent finale."
