Law and order. Jack McCoy is back, again.
Over thirty years. Is it the longest running TV series of all time?

Probably second to the Simpsons.

Yes, loved it. I liked the sequel as well.

However, I'm surprised since 28 Days Later and Dawn of the Dead came out way before that in 2002 and 2004, respectively. Didn't you see those before this series?

Saw 28 Days Later but I don't recall them being crazy fast. Was it World War Z that they were really fast in as well?

Yup, both were fast. 28 Days Later was quite significant as that was the first time afaik they changed this 'slow zombie' concept.

I think you're right. That's what made the movie so scary.

It's been a long time for me.

This is season 21. It was off the air for 12 years after season 20.

TiMSport · 02-26-2022, 10:37 AM

Not sure how many have been paying attention but South Park has been on the air for 24 years!

I watched season 3 of After Life a few weeks back, very disappointing compared to season 1 and 2. Much darker and more depressing, far fewer laughs.

My wife and I binged Breaking Bad and really enjoyed it. We are now mid way through Better Call Saul and to be honest we like it better than Breaking Bad.

I agree with you about After Life.
And I definitely agree with you on Better Call Saul!! I've said this recently and I hope those that haven't seen it yet, do so. Needless to say, if you've seen Breaking Bad, it's a must to see Better Call Saul.

Count the minutes before Alfisti says we're f'n crazy. He does enjoy himself some Kim Wexler though. Lol.

tranquility · 02-26-2022, 12:28 PM

I'd love to hear from ppl who were able to watch it in chronological order, i.e. BCS, then BB, cuz usually the psychological effect on many ppl is that they always prefer the thing they saw first, it's a big mental hurdle to overcome, even if a later production may be superior.

...so, I'd like to think we're all enlightened cuz we didn't fall into that kind of brainwashing lol.

BCS rules baby!

Naw, he prefers the woman* from The Walking Dead performing his favorite activity:

*may or may not be Maggie/Lauren, for illustrative purposes only

I decided to try Better Call Saul. I fell asleep during the 1st episode. Maybe I’ll put it on now and try again.

Love the picture of Lucy, she was an American icon and a great show

It's a little less brutal, not as dark. Jimmy is a likeable character.

Thank you. I thought it was an appropriate and fun profile pic. And I agree, they don’t write funny stuff like I love Lucy anymore. Wicked City Woman. The one with Lucy and Ethel at the chocolate factory. So many.

I’m enjoying Vikings Valhalla almost as much a the original.

It's a good show, I like it and have watched every episode. But the premise itself is underwhelming, it is achingly slow and drawn out as well. It's also being compared with arguably the best show on any platform in the last 20 years.

TXSTYLE · 02-27-2022, 11:53 AM

Absolutely can't wait for this....

Murf993 · 02-27-2022, 02:01 PM

I just watched Catching Killers season II, kind of interesting series. Episode 3 & 4 are about a serial killer in Toronto, it was kind of cool. The lead investigator Deb Harris is a detective I used to work with at one of my old stations 51 Division(Fort Apache). Like old home week.
