Re: The best new and returning TV series of 2020?

Maybe relatable would be a better word - this stuff isn’t exactly cinema verité is it. You picked out Kim as being the key character for you but I find her one of the less well drawn.

Re: The best new and returning TV series of 2020?

I don’t get the love for Better Call Saul, I mean, it’s OK, but for me it detracts from Breaking Bad. I didn’t feel Saul needed a back story anyway - he was a bit of a shyster at the start of his career, so why do we need 6 series depicting his fall from grace?

I loved BCS because Odenkirk is a lot of fun to watch play a fun character.

Mike is great too.
Odenkirk is much better In BB - where his character isn’t saddled with so much pathos, but then I’ve never been a big fan of that.

Re: The best new and returning TV series of 2020?

Boardwalk Empire worth watching? Very well-made and has a good cast. At times it feels a little stagey, but it's worth giving it a whirl. Yeah, it's mostly just to get more Buscemi after rewatching sopranos. Gandolfini would have worked much better in the lead role, but probably brought to much bag...

Re: Film Hidden Gems/Duds

If you like westerns with a bit of 70’s grit/naturalism have a look at Bad Company (which is on Netflix, I think). With a nice performance from a young Jeff Bridges, it’s about a bunch of kids trying to be desperado’s with generally comic/tragic results.

I sort of enjoy Ozark, generally speaking, but I don’t think it’s a show worth picking over too closely. The plot lines are mostly preposterous, the character motivation quite baffling and rarely does anything seem to be taken to it’s logical conclusion.
