I've heard great things. Are you saying they revise our history for the show or that history is revised and this show provides the truth?

They revise history for the show. For example, in this world, the Soviet Union were the first to land on the Moon. Gary Hart was President at one point. Lots of other little anecdotal things you see over the passage of time are just wild to me. The Man in the High Castle was like this too but didn't go as in-depth with all the little details but that was another great show like this.
and that's "MR. Irrelevant" to you!!

This reminds me of 'A Sound of Thunder,' the short story by Ray Bradbury. Nice. I'm interested now.

I got into The Sandman on Netflix last night and really like it so far. I didn't read the comics and didn't really know if it was my genre on paper but it's super cool and just a really good show regardless of genre. Higher quality all around than I was expecting. Check it out yo.

I shall check it out. “Edge of the Earth” is a cool 4 part (so far) documentary on people doing crazy things.

I keep hearing good things about this show. It's on my list and next up after For All Mankind.

Watching "Carter" on Netflix right now and the **** is bananas ya'll. Like Hardcore Henry meets 1917. Basically 1-take nonstop ridiculous action. The stunts are wild af.
and that's "MR. Irrelevant" to you!!

Alone is a great reality show. I started watching now that season 8 is on Netflix.
"I think the criticism's stupid," Stevens said. "So I don't care. I'm with Jaylen (Brown) on that. Those two had achieved more than most 25 and 26 year olds ever had. I'd rather be in the mix and have my guts ripped out than suck."

Just finished watching the series finale of Better Call Saul. Brilliant. That's all I can say.

I don't think people realize just how hard it is to stick a show's ending; we've had a lot of high-profile series flop spectacularly with its finale (most notably Game of Thrones, Killing Eve, and Ozark), but there was never any doubt with BCS since the show's writing has been brilliant from start to finish. Not gonna spoil anything here, but it ended the series in typical BCS fashion, and it left me with this lingering sadness, both over the outcomes of each character and the fact that this is basically a wrap for the entire Breaking Bad universe. (Unless they do more spinoffs, which I strongly hope they don't.)

100% agree, I didn't love the ending at first, but it's perfect the more I thought about it.

Him getting 7 1/2 years from a plea deal would've been a great Saul ending, but Jimmy won out by admitting his crimes to Kim so that she can forgive him again.

^ Yeah I spent a couple minutes wondering if the BCS finale was underwhelming but quickly decided it was damn near perfect. Understated but bittersweet and beautiful. It just "felt" right and I'm still emo about it the next day. A truly great show.

Sidenote, it took me a while but over the course of the show I realized I'd developed a huge crush on Kim Wexler haha. Rhea Seehorn is such a great actress and I hope she gets some juicy roles going forward.
