Also if anyone wants to make some show recommendations for me to get, I'd be happy to hear some. 

Been getting a lot of anime recommendations lately, so... now's your chance to cancel it out.   8)

I might be giving  Better Call Saul, Breaking Bad too much credit here.

But I feel like neither show degrades the characters for drama or comedy reasons.


I'm probably not touching on the correct thing. I just feel like some of these scenes wouldn't have been done as well in other shows.

Spoiler for Breaking Bad:
Skyler finds out that Walt is making meth. <br><br>I feel like a lot of worse shows would have had it be come crazy reveal where Skyler walks in on Walt awkwardly hiding the money or something at the end of the episode. <br><br>Here it&#39;s 30 minutes into the episode with several other unrelated scenes left. <br><br>She calls him out with basically no real evidence. Just a few pieces she&#39;s put together. <br><br>

Spoiler for Better Call Saul:
<br>There&#39;s this scene where Kim calls out Chuck over how cynical he is towards Jimmy, and then afterwards she hits Jimmy because she knows he was right. <br><br>You just feel that Kim knows what happens just based on her understanding of both people. <br><br>I don&#39;t know, I just feel like most shows wouldn&#39;t have done that as well. <br><br>


Currently in the process of rewatching Breaking Bad with Wifey.

Kind of an interesting dynamic.
I watched Breaking Bad last year by myself. Then watched Better Call Saul with wifey. I started it by myself, but she thought I was watching an interesting show so she watched the rest of the show with me.

So she watched BCS first, and then Breaking Bad. Opposite for me.

Only looked at your breaking bad spoiler but yeah, I remember liking it and that was probably part of the reason. I hate when shows leave a big reveal till the end of the episode and then the next episode just wraps it up in a few minutes and moves on to the next thing.



I've been watching Silo season 2. It makes me think about how common it is in stories for a self contained society to struggle.


If I was designing one, I think I could make it last thousands of years without rebellion or other human caused issues. Could make for an interesting tycoon like game.
