BETTER CALL SAUL

The other day I was talking about binge-watching Longmire on Netflix. I was saying that I was not a good candidate to watch episodic TV week after week. A perfect example of this inability to watch a TV show at a designated time was a show that premiered on AMC last winter, Better Call Saul. Better Call Saul is a spinoff prequel which focuses on the life of the popular character, Saul Goodman prior to the events that took place in Breaking Bad. As the premier date approached last year, I was looking forward to this show.  I did manage to watch the premiere and I managed to watch one more show and then I either forgot about it, or my schedule prevented me from keeping up with it and I did not continue with it. This week I have been focused on my training on the AMT elliptical at my local YMCA which has excellent wifi.  I was very pleased to discover on February 1, that all 10 episodes of Season 1 of this show 'dropped' on Netflix. Finally, I have the chance to watch this show, and my two hour workouts zip by faster than ever. Season 2 of this show begins on television towards the middle of this month. I am going to try (and probably fail) to watch the show on a weekly basis. And if I fail, I can look forward to the next 10 episodes appearing on Netflix next year.

LONGMIRE - NETFLIX ORIGINAL

Netflix is not the best place to discover current popular movies that people might want to see via streaming. Netflix does however have scores of complete seasons of many excellent TV shows.  Some shows are from years past. Netflix is also known for their own Netflix Original Series. Many people are very aware of House of Cards and Orange is the New Black.  I recently discovered Longmire. During my recent visit to Detroit I had plenty of time in my hotel room to watch a few episodes as my hotel had extremely good wifi. This past weekend, I used my home YMCA which also has excellent wifi. It is not so easy to spend TWO HOURS and FIVE MINUTES on an elliptical machine. However, if one is engaged in a good movie, or good TV show during that time, the elliptical session can breeze by much quicker. Longmire initially had three seasons that aired on A&E.  After the third season, A&E cancelled the show and Netflix quickly revived the show. I have exactly one more episode to complete in season 4 and then I will have to wait until next September until Netflix 'drops' the final 10 episodes of season 5. It is so much fun to binge watch a good TV show.... Now I will have a nine month interruption until I can see where the story is heading. It is much more fun to watch a completed series on Netflix as one does not have to wait for the conclusion. It is almost impossible for me to imagine someone watching this series, one episode at a time over the past four years.  Sometimes, plot points seemed like they were taking 'forever' to be developed or explained and that was with me binge watching an entire series over the course of two weeks time. Longmire had plenty of intricate plot details and plenty of interesting characters with wild backstories... I highly recommend the series.
