I've watched 1 and a half season of Breaking Bad. When does it get interesting? It is so slow.

It was made back when we all still had an attention span that lasted more than an hour  :D

Breaking Bad is brilliant and if you can't see that you need to take a good look at yourself. :P

The Expanse. [spoiler]Kinda sucks that Alex's death didn't merit screen time.[/spoiler]

They had no choice. [spoiler]A lot of the shots based around his death were re-shoots and shot after the season had effectively wrapped. They weren't exactly about to call the actor up again and offer him a chance for more work... [/spoiler]

I had wait what just happened moment and had to rewind, or whatever we call going back now.
Yeah, pretty terribly handled. They could at least have tried something with body doubles, have it in episode 1 of the next series if need be.

Wandavision keeps getting better and better.

I have to admit I didn't quite catch the significance of the big reveal at the end until I went online.  But once I did, cool............

[spoiler]Wanda's twin brother returns, who was killed in Age of Ultron.  But not by the same actor from Ultron, but by the actor who played the same character (Quicksilver) in the non-MCU X-Men movies.[/spoiler]

I admit I [spoiler]didn't remember what either actor looked like, although when Kat Jennings talked about "recasting" I sorta understood[/spoiler]  :lol:

Josquius

Didn't catch that either. Recognised it was a different actor but guessed it was just a random guy. Which was interesting enough as it is. Very interesting....

Just started watching "Lupin" on Netflix. I'm really enjoying it so far. The lead actor is great, and the caper plots are well done.

I never read the classic Lupin books, but now I kinda want to. Are they any good in translation?

Obviously, I have no idea about translation but Lupin books are awesome.

I thought it was a new version of the anime, Castle of Cagliostro. 

PDH!

The live action adaptation of Lupin The Third was extremely terrible.

Hence my reluctance to check out Lupin. But Netflix didn't seem to supply English subtitles for the new version.

That would also be awesome! But no. 😄

It's set in the present-day world, and it's about the adventures of a man *inspired by* the classic "Lupin" stories (which took place in the first decade of the 20th century).

Basically, this man was given a book of Lupin's adventures under circumstances that made them very meaningful for him.
