Better Call Saul

Less than a week away. I'm pumped. Thoughts?

I love it. I am excited as well. Breaking Bad was the GOAT.

Really looking forward to it. Fargo then starts 9 days later. Lot of good shows upcoming the next several months.

Can't wait to see Gus Fring and how Mike and Jimmie end up entangled with him. Will this be the season that Jimmie "breaks bad" and becomes Saul?

Saw some snippets of them filming this season. The chick who plays Kim looks hotter than she did in the prior 2 seasons.

I'm just a TV Movie nerd but the whole prequel thing fascinates me. The ability to take a story that everyone knows the ending to and fill in enough original backstory on the characters to get five years of highly entertaining TV that is as good or better then the original. The fact that we know where these characters end up sucks us in even deeper. Its genius.

Fargo season 2 accomplished something similar, although it was for only 1 season.

Thank goodness. I'm in a minor show hole with Big Little Lies and Homeland winding down.

Feud, on FX, has been somewhat surprisingly outstanding.

Here's one I want to catch on Netflix: https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/five_came_back/s01/

The book was really good.

Thanks for the recommendation. I'll check it out.

Not that I'm a big awards guy, but I will be shocked if Susan Sarandon isn't nominated for something - Emmy/Golden Globe. And Jessica Lange, Stanley Tucci, and Alfred Molina have been almost as good. Just really great casting and acting.
