Better Call Saul

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

i am certainly looking forward to season 2, but not with the excitement i was for season 1.

Opposite for me. I'm much more looking forward to season 2 now I've seen season 1.

[Baldi]

Loved the show, excellent scripted, beautifully acted especially the relationship between Jimmy and Chuck.  

 

If I have a minor criticism (and it is minor) did anyone find some of the montage scenes went on a bit too long ?  Especially in 'Marco'.

[VladimirIlyich]

Started very well but tailed off towards the last couple of episodes. Still very good but trying to make the characters appear younger-as its obviously a prequel- is really a stretch. Mike would have been in a retirement home in Breaking Bad and Bob Odenkirk(Saul/Jimmy) would have a Bobby Charlton combover by the time he met Walter White.

Was wondering about this couple a of days ago without looking into it

Second season out on Sunday. Great reviews already. My favourite show on TV.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

I'd totally forgotten. I'm really looking forward to it.

[Curly]

I was a bit disappointed with the first series. Bit controversial, I know. Think I may have built it up a bit too much when I was anticipating it maybe?

[Curly]

I don't like it. I think it's boring and it really pisses me off as everyone else I speak to loves it. I can't see what I'm meant to be missing.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

I really liked it, The whole resurgence of slippin' Jimmynis great

Subtext, character development, contemplation.

[Bob]

Thought that was better than any of the first series.

Ah, I see. I should watch it as if I was studying it for a media studies dissertation and not judge it on the basis of whether it entertains me or not. And if I do delve deeper I should tell myself that I do enjoy it as a telly programme, when I probably don't, even though I see that it has been well made and excels within your checklist?

Or you could not ask people what it is you are missing then be weird about them answering you?

Yes, absolutely.

 

You're allowed to tell very close friends and family that you didn't like it, but colleagues, Facebook friends and the like need to know that you saw the art in it.

[Captain Turdseye]

I like it. I'm intrigued to see how he threw it all away and became the gobshite that is Saul Goodman in BB.

I never asked a thing mate. And firing one word answers comes across as a little bit impatient, and dare I say it, pompous.

[Hooch]

It's very good so far. Just warming up again.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

The way he acted with the broker doesn't need a media studies review. I watched it. I enjoyed it. I thought it was good, too.

[El Rojo]

I like it. It's different in tone to Breaking Bad, more low-key, more of a slow-burn. Some of the scams and grift in the first series were fantastic to watch.  

 

The present day witness protection snippets at the start of each series are great. There's surely a couple of series of the his post-Breaking Bad storyline there should they choose to exploit it.

I think they'll get to him becoming Saul Goodman within the next season or 2. It'd take you out of the story seeing the likes of him and Mike looking older than they were in BB.

 

It'd be good to have a season or 2 post-Walt. He could get made and then turn it into a survival thriller type show for the last season.

[cochyn]

There were rumours weren't there that Walter and Jesse would make an appearance this series? Be difficult to fold the BB storyline into BCS without it taking over the plot.

 

Good first episode though.

I see the sub text there.

Much better episode than the first.
