Can't wait for Season 5. Bummer that it will be the final.

Yup, I like that more since it creates more tension since they move faster than a snail.

However, I'm surprised since 28 Days Later and Dawn of the Dead came out way before that in 2002 and 2004, respectively. Didn't you see those before this series?

28 Days Later is a masterpiece.

tom2021 · 02-25-2022, 10:06 PM

Law and order. Jack McCoy is back, again.
Over thirty years. Is it the longest running TV series of all time?

Probably second to the Simpsons.

Saw 28 Days Later but I don't recall them being crazy fast. Was it World War Z that they were really fast in as well?

Yup, both were fast. 28 Days Later was quite significant as that was the first time afaik they changed this 'slow zombie' concept.

I think you're right. That's what made the movie so scary.

It's been a long time for me.

This is season 21. It was off the air for 12 years after season 20.

TiMSport · 02-26-2022, 11:37 AM

Not sure how many have been paying attention but South Park has been on the air for 24 years!

Murf993 · 02-26-2022, 12:08 PM

I watched season 3 of After Life a few weeks back, very disappointing compared to season 1 and 2. Much darker and more depressing, far fewer laughs.

My wife and I binged Breaking Bad and really enjoyed it. We are now mid way through Better Call Saul and to be honest we like it better than Breaking Bad.

I agree with you about After Life.
And I definitely agree with you on Better Call Saul!! I've said this recently and I hope those that haven't seen it yet, do so. Needless to say, if you've seen Breaking Bad, it's a must to see Better Call Saul.

Count the minutes before Alfisti says we're f'n crazy. He does enjoy himself some Kim Wexler though. Lol.

tranquility · 02-26-2022, 01:28 PM

I'd love to hear from ppl who were able to watch it in chronological order, i.e. BCS, then BB, cuz usually the psychological effect on many ppl is that they always prefer the thing they saw first, it's a big mental hurdle to overcome, even if a later production may be superior.

...so, I'd like to think we're all enlightened cuz we didn't fall into that kind of brainwashing lol.

BCS rules baby!

Naw, he prefers the woman* from The Walking Dead performing his favorite activity:

*may or may not be Maggie/Lauren, for illustrative purposes only

I decided to try Better Call Saul. I fell asleep during the 1st episode. Maybe I’ll put it on now and try again.

It's a little less brutal, not as dark. Jimmy is a likeable character.
