Kicks off Monday 9th Feb on Netflix. Can't wait for this. There's so many directions this can move in... HAS to be good. Mike back for it too of course  Only one a week is a major tease.

As usual with tv shows I will wait until they are all broadcast before I watch it. I think it got commisioned for a second series so , it must be good. Fingers crossed -------------

| I'll defo get around to it. Are you saying they only release one per week and not like HOC where they just dump the whole season on the site? If that's the case I'll let it build up and then rape the series. Will HOC3 be the same as before and the whole series made available immediately? |

Very difficult to emulate BB though in fairness.

Didnt think the latest episode was as good as previous one's but it did have some funny quotes/moments. Kerry Condon made her first appearance in the series and I would guess she has a decent role in this. Great to see Matlock back on TV. |

| Not the greatest of epsiodes but it does its job as a finale as it sets season 2 up very nicely.

Ah jaysus i know that song, it was after it. Anyway i just checked and its the closing track for every episode, i just noticed it properly last night and i thought if it was the theme song for BB then by playing it after the final episode would signify that Jim was "breaking bad" and turning into Saul. |

Brilliant show. Still need to watch the finale but had watched all the others over the space of two nights. And rossie there was a site that showed about 10 different nods to breaking bad.

Finished the second season last night. The ending wasn't great but obviously is set up for a few more seasons? Overall I found it a great show. Mike, what a character. Loved the scene were Tuco is beating him as he waits for the police to arrive. Was trying to think as I watched it, had Mike any dealings with Tuco and his uncle in Breaking Bad?? The whole Chuck and Jimmy relationship got more interesting as the show progressed. |

Really? I think they're dragging the arse out of that one. He has a mental illness that means he doesn't like electronics. That's about the height of his character development and the voice recorder was predictable a mile off. I'll probably stick with it next season, purely because I've watched the first 2 seasons and I enjoy one or 2 of the characters. I suspect that's why a lot of people will. The story lines aren't strong enough to drag out for another few seasons. The story lines are just too predictable for that as anyone that has watched BB is aware of where Jimmy ultimately ends up. The novelty of "Oh that's where so and so came from" is already wearing thin. ------------- I won the Player of the Century award thanks to the people.Pele was second.He also came second behind Aryton Senna as Brazil's greatest sportsman.The award FIFA gave Pele isn't worth sh*t - Maradona |
