Better Call Saul

This should be an interesting series.

 

I'm looking forward to it, the guy plays a great d-bag.

 

Kind of sad so far. Looks like his post-Bad life mirrors his early lawyer life. He reached for the stars and got burned by WW. Glad to see they already have other Bad characters in the plot. That's what I was hoping for. Not just Sal's prequel, but the other characters too. Can't wait until Sal bumps into a full haired, sweater wearing, timid WW for no plot reason at all. Then as they part ways, mutters some quip under his breath to describe him, not knowing what the future holds.

Interesting though that they actually showed the post-Bad version of Sal first. That seemed odd since I thought I had heard they really wanted to distance this somewhat from Breaking Bad. I'm guessing to keep people from being disappointed. Not to get picky, but if you are laying low, would working at a Cinnabon in a mall be the best way to do that? A greeter at Walmart might be the only more public job you could have, but at least that might be out in the boonies somewhere.

 

I just watched the 1st episode, I thought it was terrific, even better than I thought it would be. I won't spoil anything, great list of characters.

 

Agree

I'll keep watching. It was kind of quirky and Odenkirk was born to play this role.

 

I caught half of it and it was okay. But I've never seen a single episode of Breakin Bad so I thought I was missing too much.

I'll give it a go again but so far I'm not hooked.

 

not overly impressed yet,enjoy other shows much better like "The Americans","The Bridge","Gotham" or "Backstrom" or even "Fortitude seems interesting after four shows

 

I thought Backstrom sucked. A good new one is Allegiance . Although it's along the lines of the Americans.

 

Breaking Bad wasn't that great initially.

Getting through the Malcolm in the middle dad persona took getting used to also.

If I hadn't the 1st few shows to binge through, I'm not sure would have caught on.

 

Thought it was excellent, made me want to watch more for sure. The bit in the beginning showing his current life was sad and funny, as it was exactly where he said he'd wind up at the end of Breaking Bad. It also mirrored the typical storytelling of BB by showing a flash-forward, then building the back story of how they got there. Good stuff.

 

The 2nd episode was excellent, didn't disappoint at all. I like them implementing a couple BB actors. This show has the highest viewer rating of any new show ever.

 

Well, I like it!

 

A sleazy lawyer enjoying a show about a sleazy lawyer...whodathunkit?

 

You would, shyster.

 

I thought I recognized Tuco when he opened the door, but I wasn't sure where I had seen them before. I guess I didn't think he would be one of the characters that would be brought back. I'm glad they did.

 

I'm liking it already. Big time BB fan, this show does it justice for sure.

 

My wife and I thought the first episode was great. Watching the second tonight.

As mentioned, I remember BB starting off slow and then obviously picking up. I don't have any beliefs that BCS will be as good as BB, but if it somehow delivers, how cool would that be.

 

The show is pretty good. I think it is off to a fast start.

 

I don't think anyone said his name, or Mikes. I wonder if they'll be the same characters on BCS as they were on BB? I doubt Mike worked at a parking lot.

 

The guy who came to Saul's office at the end said his name.
