Wayne (2019)
9/10
Just plain fun
16 January 2019
I find myself surprised with just how much I enjoyed this short YouTube series, and I don't claim to be a great writer, or a professional critic, or even anyone worth listening to, but I thought I would share my opinion, and give an honest account of why I like this show. As the title suggests, it's just plain fun, everything from the numb, out of touch, violent, 16 year old Wayne, to two simple twin brothers who are like watching a continuous Laurel and Hardy sketch, to some insanely over the top 'bad guys' with a golden grill and a pet alligator. Everything about it is just balls to the wall chaos, with the occasional poignant, heartfelt moment sprinkled in there, some great music used throughout, and quite frankly one of the best performances I've seen from Dean Winters who I thought really shined throughout. The show is vulgar, sometimes hilarious, nihilistic, has some real punch in the gut moments, and overall fun to watch. If you're looking for a Breaking Bad, or a The Wire, or a Stranger Things, you won't find it here, but if you're looking for a violent, over the top, low brow show to binge over an evening or two, this will most certainly do.

Better Call Saul: Chicanery (2017)
Season 3, Episode 5
10/10
Holy sheeeiii-

If there's one thing I always like to tell people about BCS, it's that if Breaking Bad was comprised of the writing in this show, and the crazy off-the-wall scenes in BB, then it would possibly be the pinnacle of television. I love Breaking Bad, but it never quite got that same feel ordinary every day conversations in this show does. This show is written so well, and that McGill vs McGill showdown right at the end, where we get a real chance to see that side of Jimmy we know and love as Saul Goodman, weaving his way around the law like some spider on amphetamine, knowing how to get under your skin, how to abuse the system, the archetypal dirty lawyer with charisma and charm, absolutely brilliant.
