@ryan-carruthers The Saul Goodman series is on S5 now, it's called Better call Saul. The more you remember about Breaking Bad, the more you'll get out of BCS. It's all about how James McGill became Saul Goodman. There are loads of new characters but loads from BB. It's arguably better than BB but it would be nothing without it, so they compliment each other.

Action stuff on Amazon - Jack Ryan series 1 is very good, S2 I can't get into. Pretty good series called 'Taken', based on the main charachter from the films. The Expanse is action packed Sci-fi, good but I can't help cringing evertime one of the American characters says 'Eros', for some reason they say 'arrows' which makes my teeth itch. (it's probably just me though)
Hell on wheels, is great if you like some 'history' with your action.
I've yet to try 'Treadstone' because the reviews aren't great but I will get around to it sometime.

@john-folan struggled to get into the Mexico one a couple of episodes in does it get better as it goes?

@neil-mallett I'll keep an eye out, I mean Breaking Bad was unreal wasn't it!!

I like Altered Carbon too and bloody loved The Witcher too!

Ryan

@john-folan I loved Narcos!! Amazing, haven't seen Chapo or the Mexican one yet will have a look.

John Folan

Narcos and then Narcos Mexico. I didn’t think they could top Narcos but they have.

One thing I got really into on Netflix, which I think is still on there is Sons of Anarchy. After the first few episodes I was hooked, I didn't think the spin off 'Mayans MC' was that great though.

Loved that . Not watched Mayans

@ryan-carruthers Yes, it was. I put it right up there with my favourite all time TV, such as Breaking Bad & Porridge. Talking about Breaking Bad, the Saul Goodman series is very good too.

@richard-latimer It was on NowTV for a while. Utterly brilliant.

Not on any of the streaming services but wow! Sharp Objects. After a slow start that was a crazy ending! Highly recommended!!

Also recently finished 'The Man in the High Castle' which was quite good.

Quite good? I watched it from S1 as soon as it started screening, it seemed like a great idea for a TV show & sounded right up my street and for the first few minutes I really thought I was going to enjoy it, then I didn't. I stuck with it though and eventually it started to get interesting again. For a story about multiverses it took a bloody long time to actually start going there. I watched episode 1 of the latest series but haven't managed to get to ep2 yet. If your opinion of it is "Quite good", I might not bother.

I thought it was great apart from the last 15 minutes of the very final episode. Bloody brilliant concept tho

@neil-mallett First one was golden!
