Son of Saul

Sorry but I can't stand Becca & Floyd - especially Becca. I have a physical reaction when she is on the screen. She is unbearable. I can't wait for them to get punted.

Just got it. Thanks.

It was funnier when she was dancing in the Catskills.

Well this show is over. I couldn’t stand her when she was supporting. As lead she is unbearable. I only lasted into part of the second episode and now I will give up. Having said that, I struggled last season because it got really silly.

One thing I love about the show are the little teasers. When Gus left the room and they focused on Hector's hand 99/100 shows the finger moves. Not in this one.

It's pretty tough going. Brand is unbearable. I understand that's the point but he is actually unwatchable.

Brand was immensely annoying - but I think that was the point.

I hope there is a season 3. I really like the show. BTW, at the end I was surprised only one of them died. I was expecting something terrible to happen to almost all of them.

Believe it or not a couple of years ago I had occasion to visit an asylum in Minsk, Belarus as part of ongoing research into the Holocaust (at this particular asylum the Nazis tried alternative methods of killing to bullets). We were left waiting in the common area with the patients for about 30 minutes whilst our fixer spoke to the director. It was grim. Heartbreaking actually.

I am willing to allow her to be a supporting actor.

A tale of two halves. The first half - superb. It proved to me that the show should really be about Saul. I don't know any character in TV history that you would prefer to have by your side in a crisis. When he was in the van arguing with the guard before that, "Fuck off, asshole!" it was great. I even replayed it a few times. That first half had all the action and intrigue you could want and I was beside myself with joy when I saw we still had a half to go. The second half - garbage. All through the series they have been dropping not so subtle and ever so patronising criticism of the state of Trump's America and then last night they decide to ram it down our throat with that unbearable lecture given to us in close up with blue light by the poe-faced schoolmarm Keane. I know they are trying to be current but they can give us a break. And no, I am neither a democrat or a republican (or even American) - just someone that wants to watch a show and not feel I am watching some production of Fox News or CNN. Then we end up with Carrie so scrambled eggs on the Bridge of Spies she couldn't even manage a chin wobble, though that was made up for by the extended edition chin wobble and wet eyes she gave us in the cell beforehand. Danes' over-acting is murderous to watch. For mine the whole series was a disappointment. We had that stuff with the domestic terrorists that melted away like ice on the sun. We then have the ongoing and boring political machinations that took up precious time and made Veep look serious. And to top it all off we had that tedious side story with Carrie's family including the painful Frannie. It seems to me that the writer's ran out of puff and didn't have a strong enough story to last the whole series so they went cherry-picking ideas and threw them all in. It makes me worry about the next series. And I will certainly be tuning in next time.....

Yes, I was dreading that a threat to Frannie was coming just as we escaped from that ball and chain. I was pleased it didn't but that in itself didn't make sense because as if they wouldn't threaten that. Honey-trap Carrie is landing on fumes. She gets less attractive by the episode. If that guard did want to do that he would have to bring another pill - this one blue. 100% what I was thinking at the time. Lose the wig and the jacket then go about your business. Those street cops would not have recognised her.

Lol. Ok. I actually really enjoyed the episode. Back to doing what they do best. By far the best of the series.

I muted it. In fact, I spent most of the show sub-consciously grinding my teeth and ended up with a headache by the end.

You missed the best one. That there were 1,000 russian swat team members looking for the woman yet they can throw a wig on her and walk out without being stopped by anyone.
