God, I love the pacing to death. I'm a complete sucker for a slow burn.

But even I, in some of those earlier seasons, was left feeling like..."OK, this is great but let's get to the meat and bones of the Saul story."

Took me a couple seasons for it to really sink in that we were already in the meat and bones and this is what it looked like.

Amazing show IMO. Crazy that they took that character, built that show, and made something on par with its amazing predecessor.

Ok I loved the killing. Season one was amazing. Then it kinda fell off a bit.

But then Netflix bought it and they had that plot about the boys school kid getting bullied into a group jerk off frenzy that culminated with him killing his mother….and yea…sounds ridiculous to even say. Was not good.

The fifth season of The Wire wasn’t that bad, just in comparison to the brilliance of the earlier seasons.

FNL is so underrated too.

I’d argue Breaking Bad has no bad seasons and only improves with each new season. Maybe you could argue Season 4 was the peak but they stuck the landing so hard in season 5 I dunno.

I lost my brother to glioblastoma. From diagnosed to passing in 11 months with 4 grueling brain surgeries and continuously diminishing faculties. The only upside is that the actual process of passing is, in the end, mostly something that happens while they are asleep.

Wouldn’t wish it on anyone and hope beyond hope we can find a cure someday. L

Gotcha. It's weird, I want to give all Sheridan stuff a go because I absolutely love his movies.

But Yellowstone was....ridiculous honestly. The son has like 10 once in a lifetime things happen to him in the first season alone. I couldn't get to the second season.
