Breaking bad

Wife watched every season of this when I was in Afghanistan one time. Tried to get me to watch it when I got home. Got 5 episodes into season one and stopped. Couldn't get into it.

 

[Rakkin6]

First season was fantastic. Never got into it beyond that

True Detective series was great. That first season with the guy in the pro mask in his underwear was disturbing though.

Did you watch House of the Dragon?

WOW was I pleasantly surprised.

Yes. Loved it too.

I have all the Jack Ryan stories. They are called books.

I thought you were old like me.

I can dog ear a page corner and come back without a remote. Is really convenient invention, that dog ear thing.

You can also fall asleep while reading and pick it right up when you wake up. And the TV glare won't wake you up since the TV is already off.

I've got all the Jack Ryan, Jack Reacher and Mitch Rapp books and have read them all. I read them while deer hunting. Every copy has pages with the corner dog-eared where I had to put the book down because I saw or heard something. For reading while hunting - read a page, slowly look all the way around; read another page, slowly look all the way around - I need fairly mindless stories that don't require deep concentration.

I just like to see visual representations of the stories as well.

Has anyone ever attempted a movie/series based on the Mitch Rapp series? Those are my favorite of all the espionage/action genre.

For some reason, crime series based on drugs or organized crime (Breaking Bad, Better call Saul, Ozark, etc.) just don't interest me. I'm much more a fan of military, espionage, antiterrorism storylines.

American Assassin a few years ago…did not do the books any justice. Had Michael Keaton in it is all I remember.

So far, Reacher has been truer to the book(s) and characters than anything else I’ve seen that I have read.

I read the books using my phone; my dog-ears are digital and automatic. I usually check the books out remotely from the library. I pretty much always have a book to read when I end up somewhere and want to read.

I read a bunch of the early Clancy books with Jack Ryan when they first came out but at some point I quit. I should get back on them but I've been reading a bunch of other series like Mitch Rapp, Jack Reacher, The Gray Man, etc.

The Night Manager (Tom Hiddleston, Hugh Laurie) is really good (only 1 season, but I think a 2nd is in the works).

Yeah, the Reacher season was pretty close to the book.

Both my wife and I (and our daughter) are all HUGE book readers. We converted our Living Room into a Library. We have seven 4-foot wide by 6-foot tall bookcases, and all are full, and we still have stacks and stacks of books that won't fit in the bookshelves. My dream-home would have a 2-story open library, with the wooden ladders on roller-tracks to reach the upper stacks.

If you like dark humor along with espionage I highly recommend Patriot on Amazon Prime. It's a 2 season series and it's not for everyone, but I thought it was great.

 

[Weegee]

I haven’t seen anyone mention The Old Man on Hulu. It’s very good.

Does that mean you're all huge and read books or the books are all huge? Think carefully if your family visits this site.

That show is GREAT! Can't wait until the 2nd season.

The crazy part is, our library only holds the hardbacks. Paperbacks are distributed in bookcases in every other room of the house (including the kitchen).

U might have a hoarding issue.
