Brónach 1,302 Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 I guess, with shows instead of movies, the possibilities of failure multiply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's not like the original was ever a faultless masterpieceI'm not saying it can't.But I do also believe that making a true classic has something to do with right place and time.And yeah, both The Wire and Breaking Bad very pretty much faultless.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 No. But Jane's dad meeting Walt in a bar by chance is one example. But its still a well written scene so it doesnt really matter that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crocodile 8,012 Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 I had some issues with Breaking Bad at first. But then, someone on here pointed out to me, quite rightfully, it's more like Cohen brothers TV series. It's not supposed to be realistic or entirely plausible. And that made me buy it entirely.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurmm 91 Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Hmm, maybe I should rewatch Breaking Bad with that in mind, since that was my main problem with the series - how it seemed to just make things up as it goes along. The Wire on the other hand is just majestic TV. Epic and intimate in the same breadth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintus 5,399 Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 I watched the pilot of Fargo. Pretty good and I'll continue with it, but I'm still not convinced by Freeman's acting ability. He has a very small range: nervous and anxious. He's that in everything I've ever seen him in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintus 5,399 Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Started Curb Your Enthusiasm again last night, blitzed through the first 3 episodes (it's just as funny the second time around) and it was a nice surprise when I now realised the third instalment's 'Porno Gil' was in fact a young Bob Odenkirk.https://youtu.be/plrtX555eoA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,364 Posted June 16, 2015 Author Share Posted June 16, 2015 The Fall is a British show. Just happens to be on Netflix in the US.And the show is pretty good but not great. The parts with Gillian Anderson investigating a serial killer are good, some good characters on her team too.The parts where you're just watching the killer stalk, torture, and kill his next victim get old real fast.

Jay 37,364 Posted June 17, 2015 Author Share Posted June 17, 2015 You think?There had never been more than one calendar year off in between seasons before; we're currently in year 4 since the last one. I think he's done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,364 Posted June 17, 2015 Author Share Posted June 17, 2015 What are you talking about? Koray DID use quotes. He read your post and assumed you were talking about Fargo, not Curb Your Enthusiasm, because post #8575 was about Curb Your Enthusiasm and then you made post #8576 about Fargo, WITHOUT quoting the EARLIER posts about Fargo, making anyone reading the thread assume YOU were talking about Curb Your Enthusiasm as well, in your post. It's very simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A24 4,333 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Now that you mention it, Koray did use quotes, which tells me I did nothing wrong with asking if there will be a second season of Fargo. And still you're going on about Quintus. I feel like I'm in abstract movie or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
