However, i watched the first three episodes of 'Better Call Saul' a couple of years ago and never got into it, so i stopped watching.

I just watched the first two episodes of "Better Call Saul" and really enjoyed it. Who can forget the return of Tuco Salamanca to teach those two skateboard scam artists a lesson they will never, ever forget. Simply classic.

It could be that I can relate to this series a little better due to life experience. Actually, as a new attorney, the best experience you can get is what the Saul Goodman character does: PD trial work. If I had to start over again, this is what I would have done. As a PD you have terrible cases with moronic clients which are routinely assigned to you. Many of them seem indefensible, and the prosecutors offer you awful deals that beg you to take the case to trial. These are the cases that put your advocacy skills to the absolute truest test possible.

Doing trial work is a tough business, and I found that one of the hardest things is the constant second guessing you do after the trial. And both side's attorneys do it and even discuss it with each other once the case is over. Questions you didn't ask on cross examination. Questions you shouldn't have asked on direct examination. About 2 weeks ago I had a trial in what was a fairly simple case. The court heard testimony from the plaintiff, the defendant and the plaintiff's expert witness. My client was happy with the way all the evidence went and initially, walking out of the court, so was I. And it was the first time ever I didn't feel sick walking out of court after a trial because of some mistake I made. But then I thought about what the expert witness said and I failed to cross examine him on a really fundamental point which I shouldn't have missed. I was too focused on the cross examination I had prepared, and not focused enough on what the expert actually had said in his testimony. He said something that begged a question that I didn't ask. And I felt sick. Watching Better Caul Saul makes me think of these moments that all tral attorneys go through. And anyone starting out practicing should do exactly what this character does in the show, a lot of PD work which is the best way possible to acquire excellent trial experience.

Turn

The other day i didn't know what to watch so i turned on Netflix and decided to give "Turn" a try. I must admit that i really liked it and the positive comments i heard about that series are justified. I'm now on episode 4.

By the way, i watched two new series last week and was very impressed by them. The first one is "Designated Survivor" and the other one is "Pitch". I can't wait to watch their upcoming episodes this week. Both very entertaining.

Timeless

Last night i watched a new tv show called "Timeless" and i really liked it. Last night's pilot episode dealt with 3 people going back in time inside a newly-invented 'time machine' in order to find a criminal from the present who went back to the day the Hindenberg went down in Lakehurst, New Jersey. I loved the twist at the end and can't wait for the next episode!

It's still early to say, but the pilot for HBO's Westworld was really promising! The show has a ridiculously high budget, so visually, it's quite pretty. Anthony Hopkins is apparently still alive and acting.

It's based on Westworld the film, and it's basically about a Wild West themed amusement park with android "hosts", who are programmed to fulfill different narrative subplots for guests. Obviously the hosts start malfunctioning and crisis ensues. The show seems like it'll be dealing with some neat artificial intelligence/memory/trauma issues. And the hosts are spooky. I would definitely recommend it.

Westworld.

Dark. Gritty yet technologically sensual. So messed up in many ways. Gripping.

Looks very promising.

Designated Survivor.

LOL. I would love to short the Market if this ever happens.

I watched it last night. I agree on all counts. Can't wait for the next episode. I was surprised to see Ed Harris in it. What's different with the movie is that the bad people are the guests. It seems like a perfect place for psychos to go to and do whatever they please (rape, murder, etc) and it's perfectly okay, it seems.

Frequency

I watched the pilot episode last night and it was very enjoyable. I really enjoyed the movie which starred Dennis Quaid a few years ago. Which is why i didn't think i'd like the tv series version. For some reason, it reminded me of the other new series which i enjoyed the other night (Timeless) because of a twist at the end of the episode.

By the way, i watched the second and third episodes of 'Pitch!' last night and it was my favorite episode of the three. Not only is the girl hot as hell, but i'd go as far as saying it's must-see tv for baseball fans like myself.

So as of now, i'm into five new tv shows: Timeless, Pitch!, Frequency, Designated Survivor and Westworld. Some of them will likely not make it to a second season. Some may even be cancelled after a few episodes. If i had to chose two among those, i'd say that 'Designated Survivor' and 'Westworld' will likely be renewed for another season.

I saw the original Westworld with Yul Brynner and really enjoyed it. At the moment I am watching season 2 of Better Call Saul and really enjoying it. As a matter of interest the character "Nacho" is played by Michael Mando who was born in Quebec City and graduated from Montreal's Dawson College in 2007. Nacho is one of the more thoughtful thugs on the show and Mando does a really good job portraying him. It's also amazing that Michael McKean, almost 40 years after playing Lenny on Laverne and Shirley, is still playing quirky characters, this time as Chuck McGill, Jimmy's older brother who suffers from electromagnetic hypersensivity, a psychosomatic illness.

I just checked the availability of the original Westworld on Netflix and it says, "very long wait". Obviously the new TV series has stimulated interest in the movie and probably the Michael Crichton book as well.

The very hot actress who plays Baker is Torontonian
I`d bet Drake has his eyes on her.

Really?? I didn't know this. In the last episode, a bottle of champagne was delivered to her in the clubhouse and it was supposedly from Drake, who was also inviting her to one of his parties.

I agree. I really enjoyed this miniseries. I wonder when they'll show it again? Any idea if they'll come out with another season of True Detective? I found the first one to be great, the second one so-so and maybe too Twin Peakish.

I missed a few min of a few eps so I'd like to see it again, also to explore some theories I've read about how the cats experience mirrored Nasir's. Stone saved the cat, but it wasn't free etc.... And how the skin condition correlated. In other words I missed the underneath layers.
True detective? I have no clue. I like the 1st season better but I'd watch a new one.
