I get that for sure. And hopefully you don’t consider my thoughts on the last season to be a spoiler. The Boys isn’t for everyone, especially not for every dame haha. My missus was horrified by the first episode and judged me for liking the show!

For Game of Thrones, to me the last season, as disappointing as it was, didn’t spoil the show overall. It had 73 episodes and for over 90% it was just phenomenal. It does seem like a lot of shows end poorly so extra props to those like Breaking Bad and the Wire which ended very well.
Good stuff! Mad Men is an underrated show, that ended strongly too. Can you believe I’ve never seen Breaking Bad either? I think cos the missus is squeamish about drugs shows. Dunno, but it’s among the highest rated show’s ever!

Huge Lee Child fan here. Have all the Reacher books and read them all more than once. As much as I like Tom Cruise, he was not Reacher. Alan Ritchson is why they should have casting oscars.
Yeah he’s excellent. Humorous when it’s needed too.

It’s so much more than that. It was really the one show I’d say was great from start to finish and it ended even better than it began. Now with that said it was only 5 seasons but even then most shows aren’t consistently great for even that long. You should definitely check it out.

I think I will eventually, when the missus is visiting her home country. What about @the AntiPusher suggestion of both series, starting with Better Call Saul then Breaking Bad?

No No You have to watch Breaking Bad first although You Better Call Saul is suppose to be billed as the prequel.. Trust me watch Breaking Bad first

Really? The prequel gives too much away?
It’s takes the same premise of The Godfather movies..The Godfather 2 shows the factors that drove young Vito to become the great crime Boss he became and what happened afterwards. I hope that answers your inquiry my good Sir
