I'm from Bangladesh. And a couple of days ago our whole country had a blackout for 7 hours. After watching the recap, it again made me realize that we really take electricity for granted and without it our lifestyle will not be same.
I have been without power for 6 weeks after Hurricane Rita in 2005. I lived in my car through two summers from March 2008 to November 2009 still having to evacuate from hurricanes along the Louisiana gulf coast. I was in the Army for 8 years and had to live out in tents in the field. So living in my car was fun to me. LMAO. I have had the electricity company turn off power to my trailer for longer periods than that.
Back then, humanity was able to survive without electricity, but today, without electricity, society would undoubtedly collapse. A perfect portrayal of what would happen.

South Africa is already experiencing this ..a phenomenon called Loadshedding😢 It happens daily and can last for anything from 2 - 8 hours without electricity depending on the "stage". The government always has an excuse for it: "the coal got wet"/"one of the power stations crashed"/"cables were stolen"

I remember watching this show as a kid. It was very good, from what I remember, with a lot of thought into the long term repercussions of spontaneously losing power.
Crazy thing is I just started rewatchign this show again lol. Idk if this show was ever popular or really bad but honestly the premise and story I think is really really amazing and good and unique as they dont have much shows about that.

The first question about this is what are we going to do with all of the dead bodies. You’re going to lose roughly 400,000 people in the US just because they’re on dialysis, within a couple of weeks of losing power - and they will all try to get into a hospital. You will lose the 7 million insulin dependent people as their insulin deteriorates from lack of refrigeration or inability to get more, probably within a month. You’re going to lose the 15,000 vent dependent people within a day or as soon as their battery packs drain. Then you have all of the people that require oxygen, gone when the concentrators stop and their tanks empty. Millions of dead, and you’ll be back to hoping you have enough healthy friends to dig your grave. You need your appendix out, you need a C-section to save you or your child, you’re gone. Are you on daily meds for blood pressure, heart disease, lung disease, your life expectancy depends on if you can live without those meds. People always seem to focus on “no power, no internet,” but it’s the millions of unburied dead plus the psychological impact of living in a world where there are corpses everywhere that writers overlook. I am a nurse, and I worked in ICU, the ED and hospice. If you just need a laceration stitched, how do you get to the ED, who stitches you up when there’s no way to autoclave instruments and the disposables are gone, and how do you treat infection? If we lost power in a Carrington event, we’d probably lose half the human race in the first year just from accident, disease, and untreated chronic conditions.
It really makes you think that some of these diseases...particularly those who have dietary illnesses could be prevented with a much more active lifestyle with consuming just whole foods. Now that electricity is gone, sure modern healthcare will collapse but no more ultraprocessed foods to churn out and fall more people to sickness. We are going back to how our ancestors live to be centenarians.
I love Mystery Recapped! Sometimes I'm watching what seems like an awesome movie, only to find out it's a series recap at the end. Series leave you hanging by design, but I do feel a little bummed when I finish one of these.
I remember when there was a black out in our city for 5 hours. Everyone was soo pissed, and here I am, enjoying every bit because there was no light pollution and all I think was to enjoy the night sky and enjoy the natural light illuminating the horizon
People got pissed cos there was blackout for 5 hours? Come to Nigeria, we don't have major disasters and as I type this, I promise you it's been 5 days, since we've had power Many towns and villages / farm settlements have not seen electricity in years 😂 😂 😂
I'm from south africa. We have daily power outages called "loadshedding" and in total it leaves us with only 14-10 hours of electricity per day. So in other words, we're used to having no electricity, so if this situation were to become a reality, south africans would have a head start.
Liar. Most places outside big cities get like 4 hrs (stage 6) max of loud shedding. Durban doe ants even get more than 6 hrs on the worst days. It’s usually 2-4 hrs
its funny all these third worlders think they know how hard life is without electricity lolz. They never experience winter, they take everything from the north for granted.
Considering that early steamships, trains, factories, manufacturing businesses, cities and the like did perfectly well prior to the widespread use of electricity, I'd think that we'd do okay. You can use gas for lighting, heating, and cooking just like pre-electrified London and diesel motors don't require electricity (they use compression) for ignition in order to work. So, yes we'd lose a lot of modern conveniences, but we didn't have electricity for much of the industrial revolution and society still existed. We'd lose population, because we wouldn't have an immediate answer to the loss of food transportation, but the farmers would probably survive. Cities might die and many of the elderly and those with medical conditions would pass, but humanity would survive.
@OnePoundFortyNine Yes, you'd have massive die off, particularly in the cities. Some would emerge with an appreciation of previous technology and some equipment would be returned to some use because there are still remnants of such scattered throughout the United States. Sailing ships can still sail, so there might still be trade and any number of people might embrace a nomadic and/or primitive existence. It's a difficult thing to consider, but some of us know how to do sandcasting, basic blacksmith work, and smelting on more than an academic level. I think the problem in modern society is the lack of cross-training and experience and that might doom us because many just don't know what to do when the power goes out and the water ceases to flow and the grocery store shelves are empty.
Diesel motors require diesel fuel. Where are you going to get it when your gas stations no longer have electricity to run their pumps and the refineries no longer have electricity to refine the fuel and the gas providers no longer have electricity to provide you with their gas? And when the markets in all the cities run out of food within two days, where are you going to get your food if you are not a farmer growing your own? As for potable water, if you don't have your own well, then you're relying on water purification plants and subsequent outlying municipal pumps to provide you with your water. Without electricity, those plants and pumps are dead in the water (no pun intended) and you're screwed out of fresh, drinkable water. Without electricity, you will no longer be able to call whats left of law enforcement to protect you from roving gangs looking for food or what's left of any gasoline in parked vehicles............Within five years, a quarter of the population of the U.S. will either be killed by once civil citizens looking to protect their own families or starvation or natural deaths due to the lack of life sustaining drugs such as insulin.
@@rabidcougar6465 Diesel engines can be manually cranked over (or put in gear and pushed) to start. Diesel engines can also run on cooking oil and the mineral oil used in transformers. Texas still has quite a few windmill pumps in use. There will be massive die off and a period of "without rule of law" with the most heavily armed groups being active. I think, except for the zombies, you might find it ending up like something out of the Walking Dead television series but with fewer resources being available. I expect that more than a quarter of the US population would perish because we have so many in cities that depend on regular supplies of food, pumped water and sewage, and electricity. Face it, major cities would become hellholes pretty quickly and charnel houses as the survivors fight over everything. Small towns and suburbs would suffer from those seeking supplies from the closest cities and their would be mass killings as city governments attempt to impose control on the survivors and gather provisions for distribution to their constituents in order to maintain themselves in power and 'stabilize' the situation. It might become like China's warring period with gangs and warlords fighting for the remnants of civilization. Not Mad Max, but not far from it.

This show was so awesome!! Sucks they cancelled it after 2 seasons. My favorite part about the whole story is seeing how society changed, and how new nations and warlords rose to power.
Well in a sence yes but the catch is that most modern (big) planes are flown by wire/comp control, and that causes such planes to fall from the sky because without electric power the pilots would have no controle/steering/navigation so hardly any manual controle left. And the big planes are hardly gliders anymore, they need the power from their engines to stay up and if the pilots managed to glide where would they land and if they land how would they brake their speed???? Small planes still have mostly manual controle so they could find a landing place above land. But all the planes flying over the oceans would be lost with all onboard. In a worldwide senario that would mean thousands of big aircraft with millions of people onboard falling from the sky. No elec -> no fridge -> food spoil in days, no medicare, no meds, no food delivery to supermarkets, no first responders in case of an emergency, no phone/internet etc, and so on and so on. Give it a month+ and millions would starve / die without meds/medicare / looting-violence killing over what meager supplies are left in the cities alone. Rural / isolated areas would fare better if they could raise/grow food. It would be back in a instance to the 1700-1800 life style All in all not a pretty picture........
He should totally do Defiance. When it first aired the game and show were hand in hand with episodes and when something happened in the show it also did in the video game. Sci-Fi channel outdid themselves, I had never experienced something so awesome.
After the blackout, nothing worked. All electric items were rendered. Car engines jet turbines and even small batteries became defunct.. Wow this was so incomprehensible
I agree on the battery part. Any modern engine, either vehicle or jet turbine will not operate without the electronics running them. Unless you have a vehicle from the early 80's or older, which almost no one does they would be DOA>

i watched this show when it was on, i was so obsessed with the concept. for whatever reason, i remember that the song at 16:20 was “i heard it through the grapevine” by creedence clearwater revival lol
Actually I'm surprised the population hasn't died off in about half that span. Almost all available information relies on electricity for access, so the best minds will go with what they remember what they can pick up and use.
It just went too far out and was inconsistent on airings. Monroe in a fight pit. The story with his son. Everyone was having sex with each other. Too many betrayals and love squares, yes squares not just triangles. The hypnotic soldiers. The Guantanamo bay U.S. secundus (yes like what Guilliman did). The nano bots taking form and gaining sentience, then telepathically communicating with one of the cast. And even more that I’m just not going to list…….. Too many plot arcs, worse than this multiverse bullshit everywhere now.
I think society wouldn’t fail. We would try to make something else work even if electricity stopped working. Also before electricity people lived . It was harder but they did
Well i mean i had no power for a week due to the storm here in California but i had a generator......really shows how much we really depend on electricity
@pierreaston7709 why weird in the second Season? For me it was the most interesting aspect. Those one ( i think they have been called "Patriots" ) launched the Missiles & the US Government return from Cuba 😁
No internet? No fanfiction? No ability to order canned cat food to be delivered? Well I'm screwed. The cat is definitely going to eat me once we run out.
Very unrealistic. At the very worst some poor countries where grid electricity has never been available on a very regular basis would be the first to restart some local generators for some urgent uses thanks to resourceful artisans and these artisans would set up again some services while transportation would convert back to steam power or other means that can be tinkered up, like so many Europeans did during WWII. Electricity would be scarce, expensive but not absent for a few years.
What is the extent of this outage, because clearly people are able to use carriages, which are mechanical (which wouldn't be affect obviously). But can we push this logic? Could, for example, a 16mm movie camera work?
@@eeveeiynnVODctually it’s nano robots that are like a continuous emp… only reason that bunker was working was because it was protected from the effects and kept the nano bots out of the facility The nanobots are in the trillions to the point of blanketing Earth… they’re even inside every human
I lived through two black outs in NYC while I was employed by the power company. It was not pretty, looting, riots, and filth ! When the power shuts down it brings out the worst in everyone ! 💡
A more realistic take to this concept is called "survival family" A Japanese movie... Yes, it wasn't 15 years, but it was enough years for humans to get used to it... Spoiler Yes, at the end, it did came back, but it was the most casually realistic way they could've portrayed it. It wasn't as "apocalypse" as the other movies but, it's a good watch.
I just finished watching this series. It was very good! It was canceled after two seasons, so we never get a true ending but I recommend it to any post apocalyptic fans out there👍🏼
This could theoretically happen. Just 10 days ago the was a wide scale radio blackout for a couple hours due to a solar flare. On March 13 1989 there was a blackout that lasted a couple days in Quebec due to a solar flare. If there were to be a large scale solar storm, this could be reality
On Sept 1 1859 Carrington Event was a wide scale solar flare. I think a massive solar flare is the most likely natural event to happen of the world ending events. It's happened many times over recorded history people just don't realize it because they've been relatively on the small side or it was before the use of electricity.
Solar flares amd HAEMPs simply weld electrical gates shut and blows fuses. And doesn't affect batteries or things that are unpowered. That can be repaired given enough time. This show uses nanobots that "freeze" (for lack of better terms) electrical currents so electronics, generators, and batteries are useless.
Electric supply running out has always posed as a problem. We've seen a lot of movies and cartoons and comics about it. Can't we just build more sustainable and renewable energy with our advances in science and technology and engineering ?

Well in a sence yes but the catch is that most modern (big) planes are flown by wire/comp control, and that causes such planes to fall from the sky because without electric power the pilots would have no controle/steering/navigation so hardly any manual controle left. And the big planes are hardly gliders anymore, they need the power from their engines to stay up and if the pilots managed to glide where would they land and if they land how would they brake their speed????
Small planes still have mostly manual controle so they could find a landing place above land.
But all the planes flying over the oceans would be lost with all onboard.
In a worldwide senario that would mean thousands of big aircraft with millions of people onboard falling from the sky.
No elec -> no fridge -> food spoil in days, no medicare, no meds, no food delivery to supermarkets, no first responders in case of an emergency, no phone/internet etc, and so on and so on.
Give it a month+ and millions would starve / die without meds/medicare / looting-violence killing over what meager supplies are left in the cities alone.
Rural / isolated areas would fare better if they could raise/grow food. It would be back in a instance to the 1700-1800 life style
All in all not a pretty picture........
@@Ikajo that what i thought
I followed this series for a while. It is good. Sadly, after my previous laptop decided to die, I stop.
It became self aware and decided to be truthful to the series
The series was canceled after two seasons
I remember this show. Season 1 was REALLY GOOD, well thought out. Miles and Manrou's bromance was so good. Season 2 was weird.
What’s it called
@@Rogerboii26I think the show was called Revolution
He should totally do Defiance. When it first aired the game and show were hand in hand with episodes and when something happened in the show it also did in the video game. Sci-Fi channel outdid themselves, I had never experienced something so awesome.
I never got to play the game but I indeed remember this coming out/ happening and was just old/ mature enough to understand how game changing it was
Wish more games and shows did this honestly. Was ahead of it's time
After the blackout, nothing worked. All electric items were rendered.
Car engines jet turbines and even small batteries became defunct..
Wow this was so incomprehensible
Im watching from mars
I agree on the battery part. Any modern engine, either vehicle or jet turbine will not operate without the electronics running them. Unless you have a vehicle from the early 80's or older, which almost no one does they would be DOA>
yeah I'm happy to live in mars with a lot of electricity here feeling bad for earth people
@@harmation7280 I'd love to go and live on the moon with the Dracos.
Such a hidden gem of a show. This was before social media was really what it is today and this show still made waves.
if its a hidden gem it wouldn’t be making waves lol
@@alexhodder4918 Do you know what a "cult classic" is? Like Evil Dead? It's not super popular like Harry Potter or Star Wars, or Nightmare on Elm Street, but it still has a very strong core following.
Or, actually, a better example would be "The Third Eye" which is what The Matrix and Terminator is based off of - yet, not many people have even heard of it. It's only now, like 40 years later that people are acknowledging that book.
So... yeah, try again?
OMMFFFGGGGG!!!!!! I love this show at in 2010/2011 and every time I try to bring it up to someone no one ever remembers. This is like ... amazing . I’m glad I’m not the only one who remembers this in the world. Cuz it was starting to feel like that
dude that was my favorite show in that time, I never got over it being cancelled, if this came out nowadays in some streaming platform it would blow up
@@beto3e10 on god
What is the show called?
@@rodvillegas3870 “revolution “ ... yeah sometimes these channels say the name and sometimes they don’t so you may miss it if ur not listening hard. I think this one said it tho
@@drippygeorge.8740 Ty!!!
Finally, at last, my student loans & debts are gone without electricity.
And rap music is gone too XD
and the genz are gone
@@Adam-kk7nw LMAO!!!!! Truth!!!!!!
@@Adam-kk7nw rap = trash + you can just rap for yourself witha friend to drop a beat with beatbox
This show had so much potential. 😢 I stayed with it till the end. Even after it stopped making sense.
I think people should praise this series. It's such a good one that lives on to its potential.
Can you tell the name of this series?
@@dfffffffggg Revolution 2012
and its ended without a end... so sad..
I miss the good old intro
The usual ones that told us to watch out and take care
Anyways good recap
Yeah😔
They filmed the first season of this series in my hometown. Never watched it though. Thanks for the recap.
Love all your videos keep up the great work never stop grinding
yes I also like it
yea w grind
i agree so much
Unless this happens.
Love how Texas is the only one with a normal name
Because they are not bullshitters
this was a nice series, really fun to watch but wish it concluded better or continued. 2:35 you can make icecream without power...
You'd still need a source of ice
@@oofslayer3528 I've seen it appear in ponds and even fall from the skies.
@@davidcovington901
You can't predict when hailstorms occur and ice from ponds only appear on colder seasons
And even if you have ice you also can't make icecream without the ingredients.
@@oofslayer3528 wait til you learn where milk comes from
@@lilyliao9521
Milk production goes down without electricity because farms run on electricity for the equipment
Also you can't transport any milk across long distances because vehicles run on electricity
1:51 I love how spooky music is playing as Mystery Recap says "The Monroe republic, The Gorgia federation, The plains nation, *Texas* " Like all The US gone crazy yet there's just *Texas.* Not the Texas but just *Texas.*
i watched this show when it was on, i was so obsessed with the concept. for whatever reason, i remember that the song at 16:20 was “i heard it through the grapevine” by creedence clearwater revival lol
Most of North Korea, already without electricity: "I see this as an absolute win!"
💀💀💀💀
A Japanese spin-off will depict the invasion of Emperor Kim😂
15 years?? With all the available information and best scientists out there, this is kinda impossible
Actually I'm surprised the population hasn't died off in about half that span. Almost all available information relies on electricity for access, so the best minds will go with what they remember what they can pick up and use.
I love how every other Post US faction has some new name, and then you just have T E X A S
Damn! I had absolutely forgotten about this series. Loved watching it when it aired and it such a shame it wasn't continued for more seasons
What series is this again?
@@EricFernandez42 its call revolution
@@EricFernandez42Revolution it ran 2 seasons
It just went too far out and was inconsistent on airings.
Monroe in a fight pit. The story with his son. Everyone was having sex with each other. Too many betrayals and love squares, yes squares not just triangles. The hypnotic soldiers. The Guantanamo bay U.S. secundus (yes like what Guilliman did). The nano bots taking form and gaining sentience, then telepathically communicating with one of the cast.
And even more that I’m just not going to list……..
Too many plot arcs, worse than this multiverse bullshit everywhere now.
i love how no matter what happens, texas always stays texas
Am i the only one who thinks hes voice is so relaxing, like ive watched so many videos completely forgetting that it isnt even the full movie💀
Thank you, Akira!
Facts go to sleep to it and everything
6:20 hiding in plain sight is one of the best ways to hide and be informed at the same time.
Grandpa: Oh don’t be an idiot we can use our old cars that run without electricity
2:52 Gus??
this was one of my favorite disaster / post apocalyptic TV shows, though undoubtedly Jericho my favorite.
This vid just unlocked a hidden memory from remembering this show existed
Damn Gus is still badass even in other shows and movies
5:37 “A lady holding a rifle at him” also the rifle which uses shotgun ammo and is clearly a double barrel shotgun😂
*shot shells
@@nolanc3953 what are shot shells?
Bruh go educate your self
Bro went from a badass drug Lord to a bad ass illegal agent 💀
I still wish for a third season of this show .
whats the show called?
@@mrstenticles2776 revolution
Fun fact: we are closer to 2027 than we are in 2012
No way! Really! Thanks for telling us! I never figured that out lol.
Fun fact it’s now 2023
"simps for Marilyn" got me 😂
Good to know that Texas is still Texas 😁
This show is more relevant than most you know.
What streaming service is it on?
.
People who knows you probably thinks of you
California has entered the chat.
"Say what?"
Hey! What's the name of the movie? Please 🎬
I think society wouldn’t fail. We would try to make something else work even if electricity stopped working. Also before electricity people lived . It was harder but they did
"Being as the nice guy he is, he shoots them dead." he is so nice 💀
I love that Texas is still Texas. They are armed and they mean business. 😆
Ong💀💀💀
Well i mean i had no power for a week due to the storm here in California but i had a generator......really shows how much we really depend on electricity
I love every single time Gustavo fringe showed up in a movie
Or other tv shows
You are simply a bad product
- stan egar
I loved this show. It got weird in the second season but I wouldve still watched many more seasons if it hadnt been cancelled
What show is this?
@@8ball947 revolution
@pierreaston7709 why weird in the second Season? For me it was the most interesting aspect. Those one ( i think they have been called "Patriots" ) launched the Missiles & the US Government return from Cuba 😁
1:44 "Fire without Firetruck" made me laugh out loud holy shit
Wdym?
This movie gives me flashbacks to when a super typhoon hit my city. Legit had no power for almost two months straight.
What's the name of this movie?
bruh, blackouts in the 90s meant outdoor bbq for me and my neighbors lmao. was almost like a random get together event
That's South Africa ! Haven't had electricity for over 15 years now .
*"...... TEXAS!!!"*
Yeah! Makes a lot of sense.
I now know what happens in most movies and series because of mystery recapped.
I shall use this power to ruin a lot of sleepovers.
lol I see we've created a supervillain!
You haven't met Bully Maguire I suppose.
Damn, I didn’t know Gustavo was the head control of a militia.
No internet? No fanfiction? No ability to order canned cat food to be delivered?
Well I'm screwed. The cat is definitely going to eat me once we run out.
I remember watching this show. I am really disappointed they did not make a new season
What show is this?
Whats the name
I LOVE this so. I was so disappointed when they ended the series. It had so much potential to keep going 😢
it stopped all by design
Says every TV series fan ever
Very unrealistic. At the very worst some poor countries where grid electricity has never been available on a very regular basis would be the first to restart some local generators for some urgent uses thanks to resourceful artisans and these artisans would set up again some services while transportation would convert back to steam power or other means that can be tinkered up, like so many Europeans did during WWII. Electricity would be scarce, expensive but not absent for a few years.
This is quietly becoming my favorite channel ☺️☺️
0:12 no one using petrol generators!!!!
Thanks for recapping this. I remember this show got premiered on 2014.
The fact Texas just stayed Texas is iconic
I love how Texas is just Texas
What is the extent of this outage, because clearly people are able to use carriages, which are mechanical (which wouldn't be affect obviously). But can we push this logic? Could, for example, a 16mm movie camera work?
I assume the scenario was a global solar flare event that basically “fries” all electronics
@@eeveeiynnVODctually it’s nano robots that are like a continuous emp… only reason that bunker was working was because it was protected from the effects and kept the nano bots out of the facility
The nanobots are in the trillions to the point of blanketing Earth… they’re even inside every human
@@kingrancelotti2362 oh cool
No.
All US States: Don't exists
Texas: Exists
Special mentions:
California (hell)
I lived through two black outs in NYC while I was employed by the power company. It was not pretty, looting, riots, and filth ! When the power shuts down it brings out the worst in everyone ! 💡
A more realistic take to this concept is called "survival family"
A Japanese movie...
Yes, it wasn't 15 years, but it was enough years for humans to get used to it...
Spoiler
Yes, at the end, it did came back, but it was the most casually realistic way they could've portrayed it.
It wasn't as "apocalypse" as the other movies but, it's a good watch.
Wasn't it only like 3 years?
@@MASTEROFEVIL yeah, around that long but it still had the same effect, since people basically got used to it
This was 1 of the greatest shows that never could.
4:39 aint no way
1:23 'A fate which gen Z views as worst than death' haha thats actually true
I just finished watching this series. It was very good! It was canceled after two seasons, so we never get a true ending but I recommend it to any post apocalyptic fans out there👍🏼
what is name of the series
@@ThucyAkhil Is on the description.
@@ThucyAkhil it’s called Revolution
Where did you watch it ?
@@DianaJP23 You probably won’t see this because it keeps getting removed for some reason? But it’s on Tubitv
"To identify them as simps for Marilyn Monroe " hahaha 😆 😂 🤣 that line makes me weak asf
at the end when they said Goggle Employee for somereason i thought that was so funny
This could theoretically happen. Just 10 days ago the was a wide scale radio blackout for a couple hours due to a solar flare. On March 13 1989 there was a blackout that lasted a couple days in Quebec due to a solar flare. If there were to be a large scale solar storm, this could be reality
On Sept 1 1859 Carrington Event was a wide scale solar flare. I think a massive solar flare is the most likely natural event to happen of the world ending events. It's happened many times over recorded history people just don't realize it because they've been relatively on the small side or it was before the use of electricity.
Really? Im not seeing anything about this on the news can you show me some sources so i can look into this? Thank you!
@@slavaukraine5117 I'm not sure where you can find for the other events but I know you can find info about The Carrington Event on Wikipedia
Solar flares amd HAEMPs simply weld electrical gates shut and blows fuses. And doesn't affect batteries or things that are unpowered.
That can be repaired given enough time.
This show uses nanobots that "freeze" (for lack of better terms) electrical currents so electronics, generators, and batteries are useless.
yeah but broken stuff could be fixed or replaced ,whereas here they dont even do that for some fucking reason
Electric supply running out has always posed as a problem. We've seen a lot of movies and cartoons and comics about it. Can't we just build more sustainable and renewable energy with our advances in science and technology and engineering ?
Honestly…on the front cover of this video it does show a pretty good example it shows Salt Lake City from the Last Of Us
2:47
Gus?
I'm very upset that NBC canceled this show 😒
Why would a phone turn off when electricity turns off? It should still be able to run for a while on its remaining charge.
Really liked this movie keep up the great work!
Glad to see Gustavo Fring has finally found a legal, suitable job. Bravo Vince!
