Something coming to an end

Breaking Bad & Better Call Saul / YouTube

The sixth and final series of Better Call Saul has started on US network AMC and Netflix is showing the series just one day later. The first two episodes are now live on the streamer with new episodes to be released weekly. 

The Breaking Bad spin-off has been a huge success in its own right and fans will be eager to see how it all ends for Jimmy McGill, the small-time lawyer and conman who transitions to an eventually prominent defence attorney under the name Saul Goodman.

Bob Odenkirk plays the title role that has won him no fewer than four Golden Globe and four Emmy nominations without success. 

When’s it on? Streaming now on Netflix

Something new

The Rising is the story of Neve Kelly who discovers that she is dead. She’s scared and confused by this new existence but when she realises she has been murdered, she’s furious. She’s determined to find her killer and get justice, believing that it was someone she knew. 

The new supernatural thriller from Sky features Irish actress Emily Taaffe. 

When’s it on? Friday at 9pm on Sky Max

Something for those with green fingers

Super Garden sees expert but amateur gardeners take on the task of designing an outdoor transformation for a different homeowner every week. 

From specialised needs to choosing flowers and water features, the gardeners’ designs are judged by the panel of experts before an overall winner is crowned. Plenty of ideas for your summer planting.

    Do you know what else happened today? Very strong GDP and GNP figures for the country were released. But God forbid good news would be prominently featured. Not when there’s a Bondholder non-story that can be rolled out to placate the naysayers and Shinners. Not a mention…

    “Everybody’s talking about goings-on at St Vincent’s Hospital, Luke ‘Ming’ Flanagan and the IMF on the bondholders…”

    What about Luke ‘Ming’ Flanagan and the IMF on the bondholders?
