If you enjoyed the series Breaking Bad ( seriously good!) then watch the film El Camino, which follows Jesse Pinkman to Alaska.
The next good watch following that is Better Call Saul, which is a prequel serious where the lawyer Saul does his usual stuff before ending up in an office in New Mexico for the Breaking Bad series.Some really excellent acting.Netflix btw.

Thanks Oreo.

I too loved BB.
And BCS.

However my all time best series is still The Sopranos! I bought the box set of DVDs last year and will binge watch, sometime in the future.

Oh. FGT I love The Sopranos. It took my DH years to convince me to watch it. I became obsessed! I got so invested in the characters that I even loved the nasty ones. I still Google the actors occasionally to see what has happened to them (sad). I am fascinated that Stevie Van Zandt is in The E Street Band.

The Sopranos was marvellous too wasn’t it? More great acting, plot and dialogue.
The litmus test for me watching a drama is can I forget it’s acting and really lose myself in it.
Recently watching the new King And Conquerer I felt, shrug…it’s acting and not great dialogue and ropey sets.

BB is right up there as one of my all-time favourites, but I did like El Camino and BCS too. Fantastic writing and acting in all three.

Loved the Sapranos. Also loved Ray Donovan.
