Considering what we know comes later, the whole "Kim Wexler" plot, though interesting and fun, seems like a bit of a sideshow. Though she is positioned as (I hate this term) Saul's moral compass, I think the story could have been told without her.
I guess she’s not on George’s hit parade.

Oh,
I'dJon would hit her.It's a good side story, but in the larger "Breaking Bad" universe, she's irrelevant.

I think her role is to let us believe Saul won’t sink into the abyss, that somehow she knows something we don’t. But basically it’s a story of codependency.

Good point. Toward the end of the season (I still haven't finished) he tells her that he wants to be a "friend of the cartel."
She accepts that.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

The Stranger on Netflix. English detective show, I think. One episode in. Curious enough for a second.

Probably the strongest season of the series. Jimmy's descent into Saul Goodman is fraught with conflict. Kim's descent into a possibly similar evil seems inevitable, and not conflicted at all.
I'm hoping for a good resolution to the tale in the next (and final) season.
Very well done.

Yeah...3 episodes in.
I have no idea where it's going. So many balls in the air.
But it's VERY intriguing.
Premise: A mysterious woman approaches several people telling them about suspicious, perhaps illegal, or embarrassing activities of their loved ones. We don't know her motives, or how these people are connected.
Very intriguing.

The Gentlemen is a very fun movie to watch. It has flaws but it’s not an issue. Dark comedy, amazing line up of actors and some fantastic moments. Guy Ritchie directs and demonstrates his prowess in spots. If you have not watched his movies there are several choice ones to pick from.

Stick with it.
Very complicated, though not obscure. Lots of twists with a depressing, but ultimately satisfying conclusion.
Another weekend wasted, LOL.

Hinterland. Kinda (okay, a lot) like Broadchurch, but less tragic and it's episodic.
And then there's Blood Machines.
cinematography, visuals & and color grading: 11/10.
original sci-fi setting: 8.5/10
plot: uh... 3/10? 4?
annoying feminist undertones: 9/10
takes itself too seriously: 8/10 -

Oh well.
Well until the feminist undertones comment.
Well until the seriously comment.
Yeah, those.
Perhaps I'll watch "The Expanse" season 4 again.

I mean visually it's amazing. Also it's only an hour, so, small commitment.

Ah, OK. I can waste another hour.

Started watching "The Shield." Only a couple of episodes in, but it's very interesting. Some characters are caricatures, but it's engrossing, to be sure. Enjoying Walton Goggins, of course.
