On edit: NOT Netflix - Amazon Prime Video

Brian Cranston minor character.

Drama, intrigue, constant action, family life, quirkiness, twists and turns, con man schemes.
Grandmas and Grandpas and cousins and lovers and ex-girlfriends.

1. I liked it too.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

2. Is it just one season? I'm on episode 5 of season 1.

Thinking way ahead.. kind of reminds me of Imposter. They had a good premise but it was only worth one season and fizzled out fast.

Thinking ahead I can't imagine this could go on for multiple seasons. Like they did it ALL in one.

Sorry, I've been caught up in great shows only to realize they were not extended. Bummer.

3. There is a second season......

but I've lost interest (maybe pushing the 'idea' too far?).........

But, I REALLY did enjoy the first season!

[Laura PourMeADrink]

9. Ah, the kiss of death:) "I lost interest in the second season"

I will try to be 'in the moment" and enjoy season 1. Especially when my husband gets home and I can watch it again and pick up all the detail I missed

4. The Detectorists is great and multi-season.

Or Ertugrul!

[Laura PourMeADrink]

7. Totally agree! Been meaning to see if we saw it all

I think the last time we saw it it was supposedly the end.

[mahina]

10. Detectorists?

Or Ertugrul?

Mahalo.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

13. Detectorists. *Think saw through Season 3 a couple

Years ago.

[Faux pas]

5. It's

a real gem for sure

6. I saw Brian Cranston

at a theater before it started. I have not watched it but he said it was basically about him and his earlier life. I may need to watch it with this recommend.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

8. Wow that's interesting. I heard Brian Cranston on

a podcast. Really bad early life. To me, unbelievably, his acting prowess was surpassed by others, unknowns I suppose, on this show

[MuseRider]

11. Apparently his life

could have been very different. He did what he could to get by. I do not remember any of the details really, he has a book out that talks about that among other things. I have it but have not read it yet.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

14. Yeah I don't know if you listen to Jason Bateman's podcast

Brian Cranston was a guest. It was really interesting. But you're right Brian had a very rough life growing up and was left to the his own devices. He takes roles based on how much they stretch him personally. And how they are diverse. To me, he was a very unlikable character in Sneaky Pete. But I haven't seen the whole thing yet.

16. Smartless?

Does Jason Bateman do a different one? I do listen to Smartless.

I recall hearing BC on a podcast but do not remember too much about it, probably because I had heard much of it before.

I enjoyed listening to him, his live show was really fun. I love shows like that. We also saw John Cleese in that venue and David Crosby doing a talking and playing tour.

Anyway, that was beside the point. He is an interesting guy who grew up headed spot on in the wrong direction. We are so lucky he figured his way out. He has given us so many interesting characters. I occasionally will go back to binge some of Malcolm in the Middle. He was genius in the roll as Hall.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

17. Yes, Smartless. He's a good decent human being.

For sure. Thanks for the idea I never watched Malcolm in the Middle.

[MuseRider]

18. Oh do give it a try.

It makes me chuckle.

[wryter2000]

19. It's definitely better than it would appear on the surface

I think it was the first episode where the harried mother answered the door topless. (We only see her naked back.) There was a great episode where Bea Arthur babysat the youngest child.

12. Netflix?

[Laura PourMeADrink]

15. Yes, Netflix. Oh great I hope you watch it I would love to read your review!

[bif]

21. Didn't find it on Netflix

[Laura PourMeADrink]

22. My bad - Amazon Prime Video

[wryter2000]

20. Sounds interesting

I'm going to add it to my list to watch.

23. 1st season kept us breathless trying to keep up! lol
