jonattonyeah bourdain seemed like a genuinely good guy too, just couldn’t get passed his demons.

He visited a couple of spots some friends worked at in San Francisco (Comstock and Alembic being two off the top of my head). When the cameras weren’t on, they said he was more interested in shooting the shit with the bartenders, the back of the house line cooks, the food runners, over owners or investor-types. Had a genuine appreciation for the grind of the work more-so than the fancy outcome. Said he came across as just a genuine, curious dude who had a way with words.
jonattonyeah I always wished I was friends with that guy for that very reason…he just seemed like a down to earth dude, with a wicked sense of humor and kitchen skillz.
Enjoyed Borderlands, all three series.
Scandi detective fare based in Finland. Didnt spot Hannu in the background though 😕
Finished S3 (and final season) of “Dark” last night - Fucking brilliant show.
Wally i need to pick that show up again, i’ve completely forgotten what happened in season one.
Started re-watching Breaking Bad but started from the third season. Still good TV viewing.
Dubman it’s just as good the second time through.
Dubman The problem with Breaking Bad is Jesse Pinkman became such a detestable little scrote I just wanted him to be whacked every episode. Walter White was also a prick who I no longer rooted for.
The two best characters from Breaking Bad ended up in the spin-off, which I actually prefer.
303abuser 2nd.. I’ve watched it 4 or 5; times already.
Dubman haha totally fair. i still wish better call saul had worked into an overlapping timeline with breaking bad.
Suburra was excellent! Just finished second series.
Trying to get the missus to watch BB, she didnt first time around. Any reason why you started at S3, DM?
Tossing a coin between the sinner or dark for me next…
-si- It’s only because I’ve seen quite a few times already plus the fact it starts to get really good after the third season.
I watched the 3rd of the sinner last weekend. It’s still good but not as good the previous two.
I’ve downloaded a hooky version of s1 succession. Two eps in. It gets better, yeah?
Millsy It sure does especially when you start to understand the characters. Stick with it.
Millsy yes, stick with it, it’s really good.
Millsy Yeah stick with it. The second season iirc I had moments where I was thinking-is this turning into a comedy? Then the final scene hits you with a sledgehammer and you’re like ’holy fucking shit this is amazing!!".
Breaking Bad is awful from series 3 onwards. Properly awful
Along_the_Wire lol that’s ridiculous.
Along_the_Wire This is surely a contender for ‘dumbest hot take on the internet 2020’. I mean BB ended years ago but it’s that bad, it’s still got a shot.
Just done S1 of Sinner, brilliant, now onto S2, also seems great. Mrs loves it too as there isn’t much blood after the 1st episodes 😂
Really battled to get through Succession S1 - cant quite put my finger on why Will see if series 2 is any easier
Just finished Sinner 3 - agreed with Dubman - still good but didn’t get the ‘feels’ (MillsyTM) with this one as much as first two
wrongun Yeah I’m struggling with Sinner 3 too. The first two had a couple of WTF moments at the start which kinda keep you hooked. This one feels like it’s going nowhere.
Season 2 of Succession will be amazing if you’re comfortable with the characters. You have to get over detesting all of them to enjoy the show imo.
