Yeah, all 10 episodes of season 5 are up there now. Read somewhere that there are due to be 13 episodes in the final season, with a planned release date of February 2021 but Covid-19 could perhaps now lead to a delay.

Being honest I think itā€™s better they show one episode a week, rather than making them available all at once, it helps build the suspense. For Ozark I finished the whole season in a day and a half. :see_no_evil:

Mike, Nacho, Lalo, Gus and Hector are all great characters. As are Jimmy and Kim obviously.

No, if anything watching BCS would be a bigger advantage when watching BB as it is set before BB and gives an insight as to how characters like Saul, Mike and Gustavo became the men they are. BCS works fine on its own, you might miss a couple of subtle nods to BB but nothing that would be hugely important to the plot.

Was an anticlimax compared to the last two episodes, but looking forward to another season, whenver that will beā€¦

Like you, Iā€™m not a basketball fan and would know little about Jordan other than his status as the greatest (one of) basketball player of all time.

Itā€™s very well produced and gives a good background to the man and his will to win. American sports I find very boring and devoid of real skill - mainly focusing just on sheer athleticism - and pretty much niche sports in that the likes of baseball, NFL, ice hockey etc have little appeal outside of America and certainly none in Europe.

Basketball is a little different in that it certainly has the most appeal of American sports in Europe and further afield and is generally a global game.

The athleticism of Jordan and some of these guys is off the chain, definitely a lot more skillful and technical than I might have previously given it credit for also.

Looking forward to the rest of it.

Id say NFL is most popular.

Probably but the NFL is a big steaming pile of contrived shit. It doesnā€™t really come across as a real sport.

Is Unorthodox any good ?

The leading points scorer in the NHL this year is German. 11% of players in the league are Swedish, thereā€™s huge numbers from Finland 5%, Russia 5% and thereā€™s players from the Czech Republic, France, Switzerland, Denmark, Austria, Latvia, Slovenia and more

Would there be much interest in ice hockey in places like Texas or Florida?

Thereā€™s two professional teams in Florida, one in Texas, Dallas and tampa bay draw big crowds, Florida (Miami) less so.

Vegas is sixth in the league attendance wise and Torontoā€™s best forward is a Mexican American kid from Phoenix.

the national in NHL doesnā€™t stand for America by the way.

Anyone on here watched Money Heist?

Three episodes in so far, Spanish with English subtitles. Itā€™s decent but can see it jumping the shark pretty soon.

Season 1 isnā€™t bad, season 2 ok, the rest is mehā€¦

Itā€™s very popular in northern Italy too.

Informative rating.

Iā€™m about 5 episodes in. I think itā€™ll be like Prison Break - interesting at the start but then the shit gets dragged out of it as it continues on. The dubbing is annoying as some of the accents are a bit weird.

I hate the dubbing so go to Spanish with English subtitles. There was a background voice over(but it wasnā€™t subtitled). Iā€™m guessing it was internal thoughts of the character or a commentary of some sort. No such voice over when you go to dubbed English. Anyone else notice this?

You chose the option with Audio Description Iā€™d say

Dunno, it wasnā€™t there all the time.

I changed subtitles between English and Spanish for 1 episode last night and saw that thereā€™s shit loads of options and the ā€˜normalā€™ English or Spanish isnā€™t first on the drop down.
