My wife has specifically banned Breaking Bad, and by implication also Better Call Saul, although I've heard great things across the board.
Watched two more episodes last night. Ok one and a half because the wife fell asleep. I still find it great, it is very creepy! I haven't read any reviews or analyses etc for it, in fact I read nothing about it at all, it came up on our recommendations on Netflix and we put it on. Now I am convinced it purposefully tips its hat to old horror films like I mentioned above. Once we are done with it I'll do some reading on it, love it!I absolutely loved Archive 81 but everyone I recommended it to thought it was terrible. ?
Yeah, same for me. Had no idea what it was, I love finding a good series that way.
You're allowing your wife to do you both a grave disservice by ignoring BB & BCS. I avoided it when it first began, because I couldn't imagine having an interest in drug culture, but finally relented. It soon became obvious that this was a cut above the usual TV writing, and even though I've not seen the last season of BCS, I'd still rate BB and BCS as the best TV series, period. My late wife & I had drastically different takes on the lessons of BB, but I think that's one of the show's aspects that makes it so profound. Hopefully these experiential observations won't be interpreted as "combative" by the thin-skinned here and get the thread shut down.

You would probably also appreciate "The Terminal List" on Amazon Prime. It's a great story, well-written and -acted, and is a timely statement on the abuse of authority. Last time I checked, it was #1 of their self-produced content.Don’t worry, I only get worked up by electric cars
I actually watched all of BB by myself, but my wife hated it immediately to rewatch with me. I agree it is very well thought out and deep as well as entertaining. But my top series has to be the Sopranos, another my wife dislikes as it is “too manly”.
Finished it over the weekend. Mixed feelings about it.
Good eye. I’d be lying if I said I caught all those. I figured they left it open ended for a second season, that’s a shame that won’t happen though.

Alright, I was debating on watching this but you sold me.
If you loved GOT, you'll love this one. If you think you would have liked GOT, but there were too many characters for you, this was made for you.
The last 2 seasons of GOT made me regret the time I spent watching the earlier 6. 2.5/5. I'll give HOD a watch so long as those 2 buffoons Benioff and Weiss have nothing to do with it,
I'm one of the weirdos that actually liked the way it ended. Daenerys losing her mind was an excellent way to screw over the fans who loved her. And, ending with a council... just lightened the mood of it coming to an end. Otherwise, it could have just kept going and going...
