This is worth a watch, the first 2 episodes at least. About the making of Fox News. Then it gets prurient with the creepy Ailes stuff.

Guidance needed:

For someone not yet familiar with Breaking Bad & Better Call Saul...   Is it OK to recommend watching the prequel first?

I did enjoy discovering origins, but the character development seemed strong on its own.
Eh, nevermind...

Some may disagree with me but I wish that choice was available back when I watched. Just not how it worked out.

For me, BCS is ruined because I watched BB first.  So I say YES it is OK to direct a person in such a manner. Prequel fist! @sean92008

Is it better  @sean92008  ? I of course, watched Breaking Bad first. Because Better Call Saul wasn't even available. So I had no choice. But the thing about having seen BB was the future. You know what's going to happen to Jimmy so it layers a darkness over BCS as Jimmy literally fights against his own inevitability. Seeing BCS first is probably fine but it might lose some of its pathos
Thanks for asking for my opinion. I'm never without one

Yeah, I struggle with that whole discovery thing. It's nice to see those things that you go "ah, yeah..." Especially for the Salamanca storyline.

I don't watch many prequels, but I think they did a great job on BCS. The only time I really felt amiss was Hank. Hank had aged so much.
Eh, nevermind...

In the last episode they had to keep Jesse under the hoodie and in the dark.

I’m glad they never told us exactly what Gretchen did to Walt.

I just thought that she cheated on him with the other guy. Did I watch so quickly I missed something deeper?

Eh, nevermind...

It sort of hinted at it.

A spin-off could be that former treasurer and his psycho wife. That actress could do crazy eyes real good.

Eh, nevermind...

Thumbs down on Ray Donovan. Can't get completely into it.  I like the premise and I'll probably look at it later.

Weird discovery... Pecan TV on the Mansa app/Roku TV.

I did not download it, but it was on my set suddenly. Pecan TV appears to take movies and filter them to look animated. Very disturbing but probably getting around some sort of a copyright thing...

The picture is from the Jackie Robinson Story.

Watching the first season of Ted Lasso (four episodes in) and yes he is a VERY likable character. So far a purely good person, which is strange to see in current TV lol

I'm completely ignorant of the character, but the impression I have been carrying is that Ted Lasso sports related.  I'm not going to Google it yet, but I will later.
