actually, in the first episode of Series 4 Jimmy McGill from Better Call Saul, looks just like Phillip Jennings (in one of his disguises) from The Americans. |

Just started watching Halt and Catch fire. It's on Amazon Prime included, and I heard someone mention it on some podcast or other, and ended up watching the first episode. It's a bit odd, It's set in 1983 and it's about reverse engineering an IBM PC to make a clone. The names of the companies involved have been changed, so who knows how much of the rest is accurate? The story in the first ep seems to be very prefunctory...
... However, I found it very compelling, and I'm planning to watch the rest of the three seasons unless it goes really downhill. I think the producers were going for a 'Mad Men in the 1980s' concept, and if so, it's working reasonably well so far. I'm into computing history and stuff like that, so it is something that does appeal to me (and won't appeal to everyone) but so far I'm very much enjoying it. ____________________ British beauty: Triumph Street Triple R; Loony stroker: KR1S; Track fun: GSXR750 L1; Commuter Missile: GSX-S1000F

New adaptation of the novel.

I'm avoiding the Hill House thingie, cos I'm all Dark and Deadlied up to the eyeballs at the moment.
So after having rinsed Killing Eve in less than a week, and then a week to kill on the sofa with Robbie the Greyhound, I've taken up watching Luther (after work, cos *sigh* offices need to be officed and all that).
I'm only on Episode 3 but I've decided its worth a watch.*
Happy happy happy there are 4 series of Luther to do catch-up with, until I find something new to watch.
* And nothing to do with Idris Elba having nice eyes, either.
Its mainly because of "oh no, not another stylish psychopathic serial-killer bird".
It's good to have stylish role models. Even if they like to poke you in the eye with a hat pin, and then watch you bleed out.
Serial killer men are so clumsy, and if they're not constantly dorkish, tumescent or clumsy, then they're some other kind of unattractively fucked-up.
The only decently sexy male serial killer lately has been Dexter. That grin, those shiny white American/Kennedy teeth. That eyebrow.
I had a brief pash for Tuco in Breaking Bad, but he was too much for me, too hyper, too Latino crazzzzzzyyyyy-guy, I'm so done with chemical-heads.
Although its entirely possible I've not quite got up to speed with this series-binging malarkey, there's no doubt a lot of people with warpoedema of the brain that I've missed out in my 10 or so years absence from the delights of the televisual.
I'm gettin' square eyes again.

Old Thread Alert!
