Then should I watch Saul before El Camino or vice versa? I'd watch Saul. El Camino wasn't good IMO. It's just if you want to know about Jessie right after the events of the finale. I didn't like Jessie so maybe that's why 🤷♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

opengeo Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Just.watched Mars on Netflix. 2 season. Mix of documentary in the present and fictional story about the first Mars colony in the 2030s. First season was great. Second season really ish's the bed with left wing propaganda. Goes from being an exciting adventure about our first base on Mars and some of the scientific challenges we will face in getting there, to being all about how bad humans (Republicans) are and how evil corporations will destroy Mars just as they destroyed Earth. Pathetic drivel. Scene after scene following Greenpeace and other 'under-funded' organizations (which are really heavily funded). I had to fast forward through all the documentary content just to see how the more interesting fictional show ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't blame Skylar for sticking up for herself and trying to take control of the mess her meth cooking husband created. Never understood the Skyler hate. It always smelled of straight up sexism. Same with Betty Draper in Mad Men. There is simply no rational argument for them being anything other than the victims in their respective relationships. If there is a difference between the two, I think it lies in Skyler just being treated unfairly in the eyes of the audience. Betty Draper was woefully mismanaged by the show tself, a gaping weakness to an otherwise great show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Betty Draper was woefully mismanaged by the show tself, a gaping weakness to an otherwise great show. I've re-watched the show 4-5 times at this point, just because I suck at finding new things to get into but also because it's so easily watchable and the second half of the final season is the best TV viewing experience I ever had, but right away on the second re-watch you are able to realize that the Skylar hate was ridiculous and she acted totally rational and justified in how she responded to Walts antics. I was actually astonished at how early on Skylar begins to suspect foul play/however you want to describe it from Walt, which I think is midway through season 1. When you realize that, now in hindsight her irritated, annoyed and disgusted attitude toward Walt throughout much of the series makes perfect sense. I think it's just that on your first go through the white to gray to black character development of Walt sneaks up on you and you find yourself watching all the way through with Walt as your protagonist, even as you see him being a POS, and by default you assign Skylar to be the antagonist. When again, in hindsight/on a second viewing you can see that she isn't, and was just a significant other put in a horrible position. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you may have to suspend belief for some of the characters that were in BrBa and then appear in El Camino in what narratively picks up right where BrBa left off.

mr_hunt Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 i'm 3 episodes in on "away". so far, it's really good. hillary swank as an astronaut in the first manned mission to mars...but it's not cheesy sci-fi...it's character driven. so far, anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good show. A bit too heavy on the character stuff the final 5 minutes of every episode, but solid nonetheless. I also like how there’s no cliff hanger. You’ll see.

Gannan Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Started Ratched last night. If you like AHS, you'll like it. Same director, producers, look, feel, music, and some of the same actors. Basically looks like another season of American Horror Story. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than Better Call Saul, AHS is probably next on my list as far as favorite shows that are still running. Some of the stories are pretty stupid, but they're demented enough to keep me entertained. I thought Roanoke was awesome. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HazletonEagle Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Amazon. Can't remember the last season of AHS that I finished. It was a cool idea. But I got tired of so many of the same actors. Evan Peters has good range. But Lang and Paulson always seemed like the same exact character regardless of their role. And both are annoying.
