I can see similarities between BB and The Shield, but BB, as good as it is, is SO over the top that I don't feel the emotional connection to these characters like I did with The Shield. My god, that show knew how to throw the gut-punches. Whereas with BB I spend as much time rolling my eyes as I do on the edge of my seat.
Well, if we followed the recipe...should be cake. A demon-violence-free-zone cake.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Speaking of binging, bingeing -- what do you want from me, spellcheck?? -- I just watched all 4 eps of Luther. Good times, man.
I already regret watching them all, because now there is no more.
Also, I love me some Alice, but am probably just as glad they only had her in the one episode.

Have now watched all three seasons of Luther. Did Luther and Alice really run off together? What are the odds one of them ends up killing the other? If Alice kills an innocent, I can't see Luther shrugging it off with just an "oh you naughty girl". Then again, he seems to already not hold against her killing her parents for being the academic equivalent of a stage mother. Plus not making much fuss over her marrying someone and killing them just cause she wanted to be a widow. Yeah, I know: strongly implied that she was just kidding. But, telling the truth in a way that won't be believed is a well known way of getting away with lying. Plus that particular way of lying makes the liar feel smart, which is very important to Alice.

Your Breaking Bad experience is very different from mine, Jessica. Never watched the Shield, myself.

I don't know what I think about the latest Luther now that I've finished. I'm most interested in Erin Grey at this point, I think. But I probably will be at a bit of a loss tomorrow when there isn't another one.

Every time a cast member appears on Talking Bad, I'm worried that it's because their character is killed in the next episode, so this is their last chance.
