In many ways it is better than Breaking Bad, and I can see myself watching it again and again whereas I've struggled to rewatch BB. The latter was visceral, more exciting, and the stakes were bigger, but BCS is just a richer show, with better characterisation and a real appreciation for showing and not telling. Both are great, although both fall short of The Americans for me, which continues to be head and shoulders above everything else primarily because it has big stakes played out at a domestic level. It's brutal, tragic, exciting, deeply human and expertly crafted. More people should be watching it. The Americans? Really? I've tried that a couple of times and thought it was distinctly average and kept losing my interest with it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Xela 25,563 Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 Really liking Billions at the minute. Great acting. Finished season 3 of Blacklist Spoiler Disappointed with the 'twist'. So predictable. It would have been more of a shock if it hadn't have happened Link to post Share on other sites
Ginko 5,111 Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 I'm years late to the party, but I finally got round to watching the first episode of Black Mirror today. Loved it. Tense, well-acted and makes you think. Link to post Share on other sites

villa4europe 15,582 Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 finished the five it was ok, nothing special, twist was decent enough, some of the writing was a bit loose and the ending was way too hollywood Link to post Share on other sites

Spoiler Agree Steveo, but did you not find the ending of the last series a little silly? I mean, armed guards outside the interview room but nowhere else in the building? Kate then chasing on her own with no back up and how long did it take the Range Rover to get away, as it seemed to go round in circles? Still very good though and sets up the next series well I think. Edited June 7, 2016 by ferguson1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

It ended up about 50 metres form where it started by doing a huge circle. That bit made no sense. But I wasn't that bothered because it was so good. The backup bit did seem a bit silly but I think that's actually true to life in the UK. Armed backup, which is what they asked for, takes ages. I remember when the Lee Rigby thing happened there were reports about how long it took police to get there because they had to be armed, and armed police in this country aren't just standing by ready to go. The armed police bit was fine. They were an escort so they waited outside the room they'd escorted the guy to. Link to post Share on other sites
