Only One Stop Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 It's decent but it's not in the same league as Sopranos, Boardwalk Empire, Breaking Bad. like the cameos with real life artists such as Alice Cooper and a nice little tease of the birth of hip hop with DJ Kool Herc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grantyboy1983 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Yeah i am watching it too and enjoying it but think there are plenty of other series which i have preferred (I know we are only 3 episodes in). One of my all time favourite series is The Shield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamntg Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Watched the first ten minutes of Vinyl and thought it looked excellent and required the full series to be stacked and watched in a binge, so switched it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Started watching it a couple of times and never got passed the second episode. My mate has been banging on about it for years so as I've recently got Net Flix I thought I may as well give it another go. It's OK but I've yet to see what all the fuss is about although I'm informed season 2 is when it kicks in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Season 1&2 are actually alright but 3,4 and 5 are bit over the top bordering on Scooby Doo ####in ridiculous.I can say hand on heart I've never been so disappointed in a show after watching the first two seasons and listening to what people were saying about it having seen all five.

Breaking Bad is, by a comfortable margin, the most over-hyped programme in the history of television. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each to their own but I totally disagree. Only criticism is that the final series was a bit rushed. So many great characters apart from Walt and Jesse. Mike, Hank, Gus, Tucco, Skinny P and Badger. Wasnt that taken on Saul Goodman and Better Call Saul is so so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pool Q Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 (edited) Not seen Vinyl so can't comment, although based on the talent involved and the trailer I'm certainly looking forward to it. I'm sort of in the middle re Breaking Bad, it really wasn't as good as the hype, but it was still, on the whole, very good TV. Not consistent across all 5 series, very few series are, but when it was good it was very, very good. I found it increasingly difficult to have any sympathy at all for Walt by about half way through, other than that he a was married to one of the most annoying characters ever in Skyler. I really liked Saul as a character, which is why, I suppose I am so enjoying Better Call Saul. At the moment I'm finally getting round to watching Fargo (at Episode 6 of the first series) slipped under the new radar for me until now for some reason.

It jumped the shark when Walt,a meek maths teacher dying of cancer, started taking out a whole drug cartel on his own. The first two seasons where the two bumbling idiots are trying to make and punt their own gear is far more enjoyable,IMO it went from I totally dig this to WTF is this shit rather too quickly,it was same in the last series of Downton. BTW the lad playing Jesse is rotten at acting Edited March 4, 2016 by TartanJon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
