Better Call Saul -TV - 2015

Plot:  The trials and tribulations of criminal defense attorney (and former conman) Jimmy McGill before his meeting Walter White. 

I had a hard time getting into this one.  Sleezy lawyers and con-men are not my favorite characters.  Although labeled a "crime drama" the first episode seemed more comic than dramatic. Maybe, I will give it another shot later on. 

Crooklyn (1994)

Plot: Spike Lee's semi-autobiographical story a 1973 black family with five kids in Brooklyn.

I always find Spike Lee hit or miss. This is a miss. Spike was going for vibrant, funny, and touching but ended up with loud and annoying. Given the mediocre script and lack of charm and story, this needed a much better cast.
