    Not a whole lot have stuck. Breaking Bad was great, but had a lot of pacing issues, especially with all the Skyler stuff. Better Call Saul improved on the pacing, except for the latest season wherein practically nothing happened (coming after their best season yet, too). The Chernobyl miniseries was fantastic. I liked Game of Thrones until they decided they could bring characters back from death, so I stopped watching around then.

      How do you feel about anthology series? I'm wondering whether you'd like
      Inside No. 9

        Not too much of a fan of anthology shows because they end up being more about the concept than the characters or an overarching narrative. Couldn't watch too much of Black Mirror for that reason. The concept would have to be pretty damn good. Not really much of a series guy, but just thinking about giving one or both of the shows I mentioned a chance.

          Ok, got ya. I'm curious now which of the two you'll like better. I saw you say in another thread that you like Tarkovsky movies. I like them, too, so was wondering if we have similar series preferences.

            Speaking of Tarkovsky, Andrei Rublev or Nostalghia for my next one? I've seen most of his other major films.
            I think I'll start with Peaky Blinders, when I get around to it.

              Andrei Rublev.
              One thing to get used to in Peaky Blinders is the modern soundtrack. Some people find it a bit jarring.

                It was jarring in Django Unchained, but if the story and characters are good enough, it won't matter.
                Cheers.

                    I saw a couple of good episodes. But it's really hit or miss.

                        I definitely get the feeling it's the more popular of the two.

                          Peaky Blinders, for sure.

                            I'll probably start with this one, and see if it's for me. Cheers.

                                    I’m the only expert here you can trust on this.
                                    Pesky Blinders is a pretty good show that’s extremely British and incomprehensible at times. The last season sucked ass. It’s an exemplary show though because Cillian Murphy is that good.
                                    Boardwalk Empire is very slow at the start. It’s a character building type of Scorsese drama that ends with extreme drama in the last two episodes of every season.
                                    Honestly, they both get 8/10.

                                      You did a better job at selling Boardwalk Empire. Thanks for the more thorough response.

                                          I can tell that you were neglected of a good father. Shame.
