Only Murder In The Building is a quirky series on the Disney channel. Each episode is 30 minutes and the cast is very good.

DD1 suggested it yesterday so quite new to us. The current story line includes Sting.

Only Murders in the Building is an American mystery-comedy television series created by Steve Martin and John Hoffman. The ten-episode first season premiered on Hulu in August 2021. The plot follows three strangers played by Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez, with a shared interest in a true crime podcast. Wikipedia

I've watched all of Breaking Bad twice. As well as Better Call Saul, also twice. I must admit to being a bit obsessed with both series. I particularly resonated with BB because I recognised some of the settings and scenery from when I lived in New Mexico.

DH was always telling me to watch Breaking Bad and I did try a couple of times but gave up. I recently gave it another try, I did get involved in it and watched it all. I agree Brian Cranston was good and so was Jesse Pinkman. For me though Succession beats it, Brian Cox is superb, that and Chernobyl are the best series I’ve watched to date.

I am starting on Better Call Saul next.

My OH and I binge watched this on DVD (remember those?) we used to watch at weekends. We were so excited for the last series and mistakenly watched the last ever episode, instead of the penultimate one first. We were about three quarters way through when we realised. We eventually put the right one on, but it was slightly spoiled for us. It might be time for a re-watch now.

Sopranos for me EVERY time.
But I loved Breaking Bad.
Jesse Pinkman was my favourite character. Wonderful acting.

Breaking Bad is one of my favourite series, I’ve got the box set. I would however disagree with BC’s acting being the best ever seen, imo that honour goes to James Gandolfini playing Tony Soprano. I loved BC as the Dad in Malcolm in the Middle.

Yes •Parsley• we love it. This is our second viewing and love it all the more. We started again on Better Call Saul which led us into Breaking Bad once more. Thought Anthony Hopkins opinion was so deserved. My grandson saw the actor who plays Jesse Pinkman in a bar. He called out "Yo Jesse Pinkman". He laughed and went over to talk to sit with them. He chatted to them and told his manager he wanted to go with them. His manager said no as he was due at an awards ceremony. My GS said he was a really nice bloke.

I am watching Breaking Bad again for the third time. The acting of the whole cast is excellent and it has certainly turned Brian Cranston into a star.

PS. Here is the last part.

We are addicted to Breaking Bad and knowing that my grandson sent us a fantastic email from Anthony Hopkins stating his absolute admiration for the acting of the cast and Brian Canston’s acting which he described as the best he had ever seen. I thought other fans might like to read it. So I will attemp to send it. (Cross fingers). Well it only appears to let me do one. So will have to send second part as a PS.
