What's In My Queue?- Week 6

Heading back to Albuquerque this week, but I've seemed to make a pit stop in Philadelphia...


It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia- Season 1:

This was one I felt I needed to watch out of necessity. Nearly every guy friend I have has praised this show and I've always felt out of the loop. Watching the first season was an ok introduction, but it's noticeable that it wasn't the show it is today when it first premiered. The first season is only 7 episodes and there is no Danny DeVito in the cast yet, so I know I need to keep watching in order to get a better initial impression on the show. However, from what I can say is that the show has excellent writing, the cast has solid chemistry, and the humor works if you're in the proper mindset. That mindset, however, is knowing you are watching 4 of the most despicable and idiotic characters on television getting away with saying and doing some of the most horrible things imaginable. If you're into that mindset, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is comedy gold. If you get offended easily, go watch something else. Plain and simple.

Better Call Saul- Season 2:

I really enjoyed the first season of Better Call Saul and I felt the second season provided a story that was easy for me to absorb. By now, I'm used to these characters, so getting thrown some backstory curveballs here and there was refreshing. The overall story is now split in two, and really gives you two stories that they're building. The stories are how Saul and Mike came together to form the relationship we saw them have in Breaking Bad. Mike's story comes equipped with full-on Breaking Bad cameos from the Salamanca family, while Saul's early days as Jimmy are the meat of the actual plot of the season. The first season started off strong by throwing a lot at you to get the status quo across, and the second season has that plot developing, slow burn effect. I can't wait to start watching it on a weekly basis when the third season comes out, so I can see how the story unfolds next.
