BB did it right. The epitome of going out on top and leaving the fans wanting more---which they got in El Camino and BCS.
BCS, IMO, was fantastic until the final episode. The series was an A+. I just didn't like the way it went out. C-. Yes it was realistic in that he was caught, but this was the "El Cocca Rocha." Saul is a survivor. I think him getting away would be akin to Huell being left sitting in the hotel room. The pop culture stuff of "Have you seen this man?" "Wanted in connection of the Heisenberg cartel..." would have been great. Of course I would've whined a little on wanting a definitive ending, but still...  how fun would that have been?  Â
Lesson for all the kids out there:  Never get involved with Carol Burnett. Â
You guys let me know if anything comes along worth watching. I think it only happens every 5 or 10 years. Someone told me to watch Yellowstone but while the setting and scenery are great I don't think it's gonna cut it.

I've mostly heard nothing but great stuff about Yellow Stone, but I have yet to watch. I started watching the Old Man but kind of petered out on that. It's not bad. Has its moments.  I should get caught up instead of stopping after about 5 episodes. I guess I just got spoiled with BB and BCS.

Paramount started a new one last night after the new Yellowstone episode called
Tulsa King starring Sylvester Stallone. Did not watch.

This is not new but did you watch Deadwood?
No. Have never had HBO. I'm sure I have missed some decent things over the years but Deadwood and others were on before I retired and I didn't watch much TV then.
