Am I dense? I tried to watch it on Netflix last night and thought it was just plain stupid.
 

Did you watch Breaking Bad, it has it's fan base from there? Many who like and get the show started out watching BB and a lot of the nuances tie in with that show which helps some people better understand and appreciate some of the characters in the show.
 
We all just have different taste in entertainment. For instance I love Monty Python and Fawlty Towers. Several years ago a professor recommended the Black Adder program. There was a sketch that was spoofing the French Revolution and a guy ended up turning into a dog. The rest of the class thought it was hilarious. I just didn't get it.
 
But y'all just don't understand! If I'm not up on all these TV shows, I'll be shunned at the popular table:( What will become of me?
 
LOVED Breaking Bad and really am enjoying Better Call Saul. That said, the shows take their time in establishing the characters and telling the story. It may be slow paced at first, but it's all about setting up the story. Breaking Bad took a bit of time to get underway, but then WOW. Could not wait to see it each week.

There are a lot of shows I don't watch, you think I care what others think, I've never concerned myself with being part of the in crowd, I sometimes just happen to like a hit or moderately hit or offbeat show, if others like it and can relate, it can be fun to share in it with them, if not does it really matter except, that you hope it has a following so that if it's a show you like it doesn't get canceled like a few shows I fell in love with that got the ax sooner than later and I'm still a little ticked off about. LOL!

Not fitting in, something I'm used to myself. :)
 
I liked season one of Better Call Saul, but I only sort of liked the season opener. My oldest son is a fan of Breaking Bad, so I had some background. Tried to get into Orange Is The New Black, too...recommended by my son...but having grown up with addicts and jail birds all around me, I just couldn't like it. I'm sure that's why, despite Saul's excellent writing and characters, I know where it's going and I don't think this season will hold my interest.

I'm totally hooked on The Walking Dead (a surprise to my sons) and can't wait til Game Of Thrones comes back.

My sons love Game of Thrones...I can read something violent, but watching it on screen? Nope, but that's just me.

I'm hooked on GOT as well, I'm waiting to get season 5 from my library, hopefully, I will have it next month, I might have to end up subscribing to HBO when season six rolls around, we'll see. I would love to receive the whole GOT dvd collection as my next big gift. Think I'm going to put some hints out there, if now at least some WD dolls or jewelry would be nice. :D

I've loved all three seasons and am looking forward to season 4. Should be interesting how they handle things in season 4.
 
I don't have AMC but I saw some clips and also read lots of recaps about BCS Season 4 premiere last night.

Also read that there will be a Season 5.
 
I have enjoyed season 4 so far. Won't spoil anything for those who still want to watch it but the dynamics of the characters are changing in a big way.
 
In Season 3, I had several favorite scenes and ALL of them featured Chuck.

- the exchange between Chuck and the guy in the 24 hr copy shop...and when Chuck fell, OUCH!!
- Chuck in his space blanket
- When Howard became fed up and gave Chuck the check for $3M, essentially telling him to take his money and GTFO of the office

It's a shame Michael McKean/Chuck not only didn't win an Emmy - he wasn't even nominated. :mad: Stellar performance imo.

Agreed about the Emmy and I think that Rhea Seehorn deserved one also.
