a lot of us stream television now and get to binge watch many shows.
right now i'm watching Breaking Bad. i'd always heard about it but never watched it. so i've been watching quite a few episodes at a time over these past 3 days. i'm in season 3 of 5. interesting show. it seems slow but somehow interesting even though i've never had a single interest in the drug scene, i can see why the main character is doing what he's doing.

Its high time and a long overdue, John. As this serias is a bomb. Dont be fast , try to last. This year they made full-meter spin-off movie about escape of jessie pinkmann, “El Camino”, And there is another decent serias , “Better Call Saul”. Its twice more slow but is a good treat for fans. There was an interesting event : back in 2016 Russian Premier Medvedev was asked about low salaries of teachers . His answer was like this : “I am absolutely sure that modern, young and energerical teacher can find different ways to increase his income today”. As a reply people made multiple pictures with the following image of a different way of a teacher ) :

What is "binge watching"? Its where you either by virtue of being trapped in a suspense series or similar (eg, the first time I did this was getting caught watching seven hours of "24") or you accumulate to watch all at once or stream in succession multiple episodes of a show. EG, waiting for a season to be over so you can watch the whole thing at once instead of one per week or whatever. Not exactly binge watching but I'm a devotee of old western TV shows (and classic TV in general, really). They're hard to find on streaming services so I usually just have to catch them as they are syndicated on one channel or another. Current project is "Bat Masterson". I'd like to find "Have Gun, Will Travel" but it doesn't seem to be out there anywhere. Also wish I could find the old Gene Autry TV shows. I've become a bit of a fan of his TV sidekick, Pat Buttram. Very funny guy. Shoulda got more parts. A companion of Gene's that dates all the way back to his time on the National Barn Dance broadcast from WLS in Chicago in the early 1930s. If I can find them, doing Peter Gunn would be pretty cool too. That show was very well made and the music that Mancini wrote for that just screams "detective story". Next project will be going through the old Doctor Who episodes. (Not the new stuff, the original run.)

Ah so, I see it now Nothing to binge watch for me nowadays but my fav series were 24 and Game of Thrones. Plus now that I spent some days at home found myself sometimes watching old episodes of ER (Emergency Room). Dr. Susan Lewis was a hottie

season 4 of Better Call Saul just came on netflix so i started watching it. it's pretty slow so far. i'm on episode 5 now i think. it's finally starting to point to the time frame where breaking bad started. slowly but surely.
