Samuel Brace on the decline of AMC… I am old enough to remember when AMC, back in the day — that day being five minutes ago — were at the top of the TV ladder. There was a time when they unequivocally ruled the roost, when all competition bowed before them. After Mad Men‘s debut […]

Complacency: The Killer of TV’s Golden Age
Samuel Brace on the death of TV’s Golden Age… It’s all over. Television’s golden age is, it seems, gone. It’s done. Some will argue that it was never here at all, but those people are mostly ardent film fans who could never face that for a while, for a very short time, TV was better than […]
Better Call Saul Season 2 Episode 10 Review – ‘Klick’
Martin Carr reviews the tenth episode of Better Call Saul season 2… For season finales this is a weird one. There is no resolution, there is no big finish, in fact there’s just continuation.

Better Call Saul Season 2 Episode 9 Review – ‘Nailed’
Martin Carr reviews the ninth episode of Better Call Saul season 2… By Christ Odenkirk is one complex actor.

Better Call Saul Season 2 Episode 7 Review – ‘Inflatable’
Martin Carr reviews the seventh episode of Better Call Saul season 2… What I like about Better Call Saul is the pace. That feeling which implies there is no rush and ultimately this programme is all about the long game. Because if you notice not a lot really happens here, although things do happen eventually. Breaking […]
Better Call Saul Season 2 Episode 6 Review – ‘Bali Ha’i’
Martin Carr reviews the sixth episode of Better Call Saul Season 2… I’ll be honest this reviewer is not up to speed with Better Call Saul. Now before the diehards start getting upset let me just say that I did watch Breaking Bad religiously. Like a vast majority of the population it drew me in […]
Better Call Saul Season 2 Episode 5 Review – ‘Rebecca’
Eric Bay-Andersen reviews the fifth episode of Better Call Saul season 2… Episode five opens with a flashback to Jimmy’s first week at HHM, when he’s invited over to Chuck’s house one evening for dinner. In this scene we discover that in his pre-electrophobe days, Chuck had a wife, the titular Rebecca (some viewers might […]
