Yaye for all the B99!
I hope I'll get through Breaking Bad eventually so I can watch Better call Saul, since I only heard good things about it.

How was Bridge of Spies? Did I miss something, should I watch it?

I wouldn't say that you had to watch Breaking Bad to watch Better Call Saul, as BCS is a prequel, but I'm a completist who tends to watch everything in order, so I get it.

Bridge of Spies was good! If you like Cold War stuff, spy stuff, and/or Tom Hanks stuff, I'd check it out. Nothing, like, super-amazing, but a well-done, competent movie.

B99 reminds me so much of Parks and Rec, in that even if it's not the funniest episode in the world, I still enjoy it because I like all the characters, the characters all like each other, and it's just such a nice thing on TV these days.

Yeah sometimes I can beat the completist in me, but not with this one. I admit I'm mostly watching Breaking Bad cause I feel like if I study media and specifically film/tv and the likes I should've seen it. People were so over the finale that I wanna know what it's all about. I'm still at season 2 because I got busy with uni, but I hope I can get through it till summer. Good thing that the seasons are so short.

I tend to like spy stuff, Tom Hanks is not the draw he used to be for me but I don't mind him^^ But sounds like something I can check out if it hits Netflix and I have some time on my hand.

I feel the same. I think I even like B99 a bit more then Parks&Rec.

OMG, Paranoia was one of my favorite episodes of any show, ever. It was just such a great example of people being good to each other in a really funny, character-appropriate way.

Did you like Bridge of Spies? I love THanks but wasn't particularly inspired to go see it.

[cath822.livejournal.com]

Ah, never mind, you answered the Bridge of Spies thing.

I've been plowing through Bob's Burgers; I'm about halfway through season three, and they just put season five up. It's interesting, because it has a lot of the same humor (and writers) as King of the Hill, which I never liked all that much, but it cracks me up.

That's definitely one of the things I love about B99, is that when there's tension between characters, it's earned and believable, and usually gets resolved. Terry's upset with Adrian, but it's for the very real reason that he's worried about Rosa. It makes sense. I think there's such a trope of sitcom "drama" where people just bicker all the time for jokes, so I appreciate having something that tries to do it differently.

Which is part of the same reason I like Bob's Burgers! They feel like such an authentic family to me, and it's almost always about them working together and supporting each other, rather than their relationships being the source of the conflict.
