A comedy-drama about the sex lives of a group of teenagers could have come across as exploitative and crass. But Sex Education feels anything but. While the humour is bawdy and the sex scenes graphic, the series as a whole is exceedingly sweet, charming and generous. Full of wonderfully complex characters and relationships, it’s a genuinely involving and entertaining look at love, life and identity, with a fast-moving plot that makes it easy to binge.If you’ll forgive us a lazy comparison, Dark is like a German version of Stranger Things. Both follow a group of kids trying to unravel a supernatural mystery; both feature a missing child and frantic parents; both are set (at least partly) in the ’80s. And both are great TV shows. It’s there that the similarities end though, because Dark is a much more challenging watch than its American counterpart (and not just because of those German subtitles). This is a complicated and complex series that delights in constantly pulling the rug out from under you: just when you think you know what’s going on, it’ll pull a surprise left turn. It’s also rather gruesome and not afraid to puts its characters through the emotional wringer. Don’t let that put you off though, because this is one Netflix Original you don’t want to skip.

Stranger Things was originally envisioned as a one-off. Or an anthology series in which each season would feature a new casting, setting and story. And yet its first season proved so successful that we now have three seasons. All are set in Hawkins, Indiana and all focussed on the same group of kids and their families as the monstrous threat from the Upside Down looms once more.

The presence of every single episode of the 1990s’ biggest sitcom on Netflix feels like an occasion worthy of fanfare – even if, let’s face it, you’ve probably seen them all multiple times before.Connolly, Kelly (February 6, 2020).

It could be argued that Better Call Saul is really two shows: one starring Bob Odenkirk as Jimmy McGill, another starring Jonathan Banks as Mike. The latter's storyline is perhaps what many people would expect of a Breaking Bad prequel: the tale of how ex-cop Mike Ehrmantraut – a man with the grimace of someone forever posing for his passport photo – falls into the orbit of cold, calculating Albuquerque drug lord Gus Fring (Giancarlo Esposito). On the surface, it's the fan-pleasing story – the conduit for most of Better Call Saul's violence and cameos. But it is not as interesting as the other show – an intimate drama of relatively low stakes, of words rather than bullets, but fuelled almost entirely by Jimmy's relationships, and the roles they play in who he is to become. a b Snierson, Dan (March 9, 2020).

Better Call Saul is a spin-off of Breaking Bad, a popular crime drama television series created and produced by Vince Gilligan that ran for five seasons on AMC from 2008 to 2013. [12] [13] It is primarily a prequel that focuses on the origins of the character Saul Goodman, who made his first on-screen appearance during Breaking Bad 's second season, in the episode that was also titled " Better Call Saul". [12] The character was initially supposed to appear in four episodes of Breaking Bad, but soon became much more developed than the staff had planned. He would eventually stay on the series throughout the duration of its run. [14] [15] As Breaking Bad continued, the character would grow in popularity amongst the audience. Bob Odenkirk, who portrayed Saul Goodman, speculated this was because he is "the program's least hypocritical figure", and "is good at his job". [16]

Better Call Saul 's episodes are split between two main timelines. [91] The primary timeline begins in 2002, six years before the first episode of Breaking Bad. [92] During this period, where a majority of the series takes place, Saul Goodman practices as a lawyer in Albuquerque, New Mexico under his birthname Jimmy McGill.

Retrieved May 1, 2014.Gilligan, who created and developed Breaking Bad, and Gould, who wrote the Breaking Bad episode " Better Call Saul", began considering a Saul Goodman spin-off in 2009. Because Saul's role in Breaking Bad had expanded beyond the writing staff's plans, Gilligan felt he could be explored further. He and Gould considered making a half-hour legal comedy featuring Saul and his various clients, but settled on an hour-long tragedy showing how he develops into the character seen in Breaking Bad. Better Call Saul 's development began during the production of Breaking Bad 's final season in 2013, with Gilligan and Gould serving as co- showrunners and numerous production staff returning. Odenkirk, Banks, and Esposito reprise their roles from Breaking Bad, as do many others in guest appearances. Gilligan left Better Call Saul early in the third season—making Gould the sole showrunner for the remainder of its run—though he returned to help write the final season. If there were a graph that showed the tension levels of the tensest moment in the tensest thrillers in history, Homeland‘s producers would have taken it, twisted it into an infinitesimally thin rope and used it to whip Stressed Eric’s pulsing temple vein until it popped. Sketch shows, once kings of TV comedy, have fallen out of favour of late. But I Think You Should Leave is proof positive that there’s more than enough life left in this classic format: it just needed a jolt of weirdness to wrench it out of its cosy comfort zone.
