A great TV show
A great TV show, with a big cast. Looking at a small area of New York near Times Square and the many characters of the area.
Starting in the 70's and ending up in the mid 80's by the 3rd series. It takes in how porn, organised crime, police, technology all play a part in shaping the area and effect the lives of those involved.
Each series set at a slightly different era. The first 2 series were very good and the shorter 3rd series is OK. Well worth checking out for the wide array of characters caught up with life in The Deuce.

Walter White's journey into Albuquerque's is slow and carefully thought out. The show is exceptionally well written and uses a range of quirky shots and flamboyant Hispanic music to add a bit levity. (0 more)
Season 3 drags and dies not live up to the standard of the rest of the seasons. (0 more)
If you ignore season 3 it's perfect
Breaking Bad is a TV show that I go back to and discover new things I missed each time. Bryan Cranston is incredible: no one else can show such a huge range of emotions in their baggy y fronts!

Read this on holiday after watching Season 1 on Netflix. As an avid reader, I usually enjoy the book more than the movie/tv show as it has more details, more story, but in this case I didn't enjoy the book as much as the show. I just didn't get the same feeling from the book. It might have been different if I'd read the book first, but I don't know what was different this time.

Blatantly disregards canon, full of unlikable characters, nauseating camera work (0 more)
STINO (Star Trek In Name Only)
This show opened with a mission to violate the Prime Directive, and just went downhill from there. If you want to see Star Trek, watch The Orville.

Love this series
This is a great book. I never thought that I would of liked a book like this so much but I fell in love with the characters and the writing. I can not wait for the next book or for the next season to the TV show.

Epic
I don't know what I can say other than "wow this is incredible" to sum up this book. Hard to choose between this and The Ocean at the End if the Lane as his best, but remains one of the best novels ever written.
