Finally finished Better Call Saul. I must have started it about 3 or 4 times, but I made it all the way through this time. Pretty damn good show, for the most part. I did think there was a lot of filler and I didn't love the ending, but at its best it's fantastic. Not as good as Breaking Bad, though. Breaking Bad is several levels above.

Am I the only one who thought that episode could have used better lighting … Assuming you mean the last episode of HotD, no you weren't the only one. I spent half the episode squinting at the screen. Really hard to watch. Thank goodness. I've seen some folks saying it was brilliant and was integral to convey the atmosphere etc. Wut?

Must admit I'm in that camp, didn't have trouble seeing it and thought it helped create the dark, moody atmosphere of the episode. The only part that got a little tricky to see for me was the scene with Daemon and Rhaenyra on the beach.

Because on my regular 5 year old LED TV it was so difficult. I imagine on a very good TV the effect is different? Which is annoying because it was a good episode - one I'd have loved to see properly

Not sure if it's been mentioned on here by anyone but the terminal list is a very good watch.

Absolutely no use.

I've seen some folks saying it was brilliant and was integral to convey the atmosphere etc. Wut? This episode’s colour came across as being between a wishy -washy pale green and black, Glad it was intended as I kept fiddling about with the colour,which didn’t help at all. Nearly as bad as the final 2 GOT episodes!

BCS was better than Breaking Bad. I am more than willing to die on this hill. (Both undeniably belting shows though).

Gonna say it, She-Hulk has been the best Marvel TV show they've done so far on Disney+.

Haven't seen the latest episode yet but did see a teaser clip and looking forward to seeing where they run with it. Can't wait for the new Daredevil and Punisher series aswell. Some of the upcoming shows look fantastic, some I'm not overly keen on.

Been working my way through Dahmer. Brilliant stuff. The scene with the 3 deaf guys in the restaurant was particularly fantastic.

I finished Kingdom yesterday, excellent series if you like zombie stuff. Also, as I am off sick, I've been bingeing Anthony Bourdain, parts unknown. I've got to be honest, I had never really paid much attention to him before but knowing he is no longer with us makes me very sad. The world would be such a better place with more Anthony Bourdain. Same with Keith Floyd, there is a certain way they both present themselves, very unique. If you can catch either of those two, I'd highly recommend them.

It's excellent.
