Well covered in this thread. We all have a crush on Kristen Bell, Ted Danson, or in my case, both.
Ah sorry, I've been reading the thread for a while so it must have been before I started.

Have to agree with the Kristen Bell crush!
I had also missed this, will have to give it a try.
It's excellent, IMO. We really enjoy it in our house, I suspect for slightly different reasons at one end of the sofa to the other, but hey ho.

Don't read too much about it before trying it, is a bit of a tip from me.

It's awesome. It's a great example (like Brooklyn 99) where the casting and script writing is pretty much perfect.

Too late, I watched part of the trailer after reading the post this morning, so know what its about at least but turned it off before getting more spoilers, looks good and if its from the makers of Parks and Recreation it must be good!

Indeed. It's not quite at the level of Parks and Recreation, but it's not far off. Top 5% of sitcoms, IMO.

No, but it reminds me I haven't watched season 2. I thought season 1 was ok - not brilliant, but watchable - so probably should give s2 a try.

I think it's terrific, one of the best hard sci-fi series around. probably the book basis but people act like people and the science feels authentic.


Edit - I just did a few searches. S3 was out in the US in April. It's slated for release here (on DVD/BR and stream as far as I can tell in Nov 2019)
Yes, you read that right 2019.

Although, it's no longer on Netflix or SyFy for S4 as Amazon have bought the rights.

I think you need to either buy the US region free discs or try other streaming services.

There's another 5 seasons of it.......


but it's called "Breaking Bad"

:-)

last line of the last episode of S4 of Better Call Saul is where Saul Goodman is born and BB carries on different but parallel Arc.

great, I might rewatch S2 to remind myself what happened... seem to recall it ended in quite a cool way for a setup for the next season...

Half way into Frontier season 3. Not the worst. Season 1 was the best.

Not sure if this is correct. Given the finale of S4 you would think so, but I’ve since read that it’s been renewed for a fifth season. Not sure how accurate that is though.

Well there's no way it's stopping after the last season.

Definitely don't see it as now running parallel to Breaking Bad in the timeline either, still some way off that I suspect.

Think there a still a few story lines to finish off in BCS, the "construction project", relationship between "Saul" and his GF, finally the setting up of Sauls business.

Tried to keep that spoiler free, hopefully haven't wrecked it for anyone.

Fwiw, I don't think BCS will end when it catches up to the start of BB, it will probably continue in parallel and add a new dimension to the story.
If they do, the big question will be do they end it where BB did, or continue from the flash-forwards in Omaha we have been seeing every season? I'm unsure if it will spoil the excellent end to BB if they do the latter.

I know I’m a bit late to the party but just watched Norsemen expecting something like Game of thrones.

Pleasantly surprised. Very funny.

Really? Balls. Although suppose they did paint themselves into a corner.
It’s been canned by CBS. I’ve heard rumour that another channel or Netflix themselves will pick iy up for a third and final series.

I did the same, for a long time I had assumed it was another 'Vikings' type show and never got round to watching, didn't realise it was a comedy, I thought it was very funny and looking forward for more, shame its only 6 episodes per season!
