Yup, both were fast. 28 Days Later was quite significant as that was the first time afaik they changed this 'slow zombie' concept.

I think you're right. That's what made the movie so scary.

It's been a long time for me.

Over thirty years. Is it the longest running TV series of all time?

This is season 21. It was off the air for 12 years after season 20.

Not sure how many have been paying attention but South Park has been on the air for 24 years!

I watched season 3 of After Life a few weeks back, very disappointing compared to season 1 and 2. Much darker and more depressing, far fewer laughs.

My wife and I binged Breaking Bad and really enjoyed it. We are now mid way through Better Call Saul and to be honest we like it better than Breaking Bad.

I agree with you about After Life.
And I definitely agree with you on Better Call Saul!! I've said this recently and I hope those that haven't seen it yet, do so. Needless to say, if you've seen Breaking Bad, it's a must to see Better Call Saul.

Count the minutes before Alfisti says we're f'n crazy. He does enjoy himself some Kim Wexler though. Lol.

tranquility · 02-26-2022, 12:28 PM

I'd love to hear from ppl who were able to watch it in chronological order, i.e. BCS, then BB, cuz usually the psychological effect on many ppl is that they always prefer the thing they saw first, it's a big mental hurdle to overcome, even if a later production may be superior.

...so, I'd like to think we're all enlightened cuz we didn't fall into that kind of brainwashing lol.

BCS rules baby!

Naw, he prefers the woman* from The Walking Dead performing his favorite activity:

I decided to try Better Call Saul. I fell asleep during the 1st episode. Maybe I’ll put it on now and try again.

Love the picture of Lucy, she was an American icon and a great show

It's a little less brutal, not as dark. Jimmy is a likeable character.

Thank you. I thought it was an appropriate and fun profile pic. And I agree, they don’t write funny stuff like I love Lucy anymore. Wicked City Woman. The one with Lucy and Ethel at the chocolate factory. So many.

I’m enjoying Vikings Valhalla almost as much a the original.

It's a good show, I like it and have watched every episode. But the premise itself is underwhelming, it is achingly slow and drawn out as well. It's also being compared with arguably the best show on any platform in the last 20 years.

TXSTYLE · 02-27-2022, 11:53 AM

Absolutely can't wait for this....

Murf993 · 02-27-2022, 02:01 PM

I just watched Catching Killers season II, kind of interesting series. Episode 3 & 4 are about a serial killer in Toronto, it was kind of cool. The lead investigator Deb Harris is a detective I used to work with at one of my old stations 51 Division(Fort Apache). Like old home week.

Alfisti · 02-27-2022, 09:23 PM

i'll need to catch up on that. The one in Toronto, Bruce Macarthur......have....i ...got....a......story.......for .....yoooooou.

My brother came to visit me once, we here for more than a week. Said he had some online friends to catch up with. My brother is gay, a (very) large man, and I figured he was meeting a guy from the gay village. Didn't think anything of it. He was supposed to meet this guy, but never found him because he messed up where he was going.

About 18 months later, as macarthur hits the news, he sends me a screen shot of his communications and fuck me dead if it isn't macarthur! He was right up macarthur's alley, gay, tourist, etc..... dead set sent chills down my spine ffs.

eliphil · 02-27-2022, 09:49 PM

I just finished season 1 Reacher, it was really good.

Alfisti · 02-27-2022, 10:03 PM

OK trying Succession. Like guys, seriously, it's just AWFUL, what do you any of you see in it? Even the wife is groaning at how bad it is.

It's good but really toxic, like an amped up Suits? Sickening thing is there are ppl like that, and many are in positions of power. Hopefully it'll end soon, they can't keep this constant scheming/conflicts up forever (probably the reason I couldn't watch Billions anymore).

HFW003 · 02-28-2022, 02:59 AM

I watched Race:Bubba Wallace over the weekend.

I’m not a fan of NASCAR per se but I do love motor sport.

Didn’t know the story at all but i really enjoyed the show.
