Better Call Saul

[Carvalho Diablo]

It's an excellent start and has exceeded all my expectations so far. I was worried that this could have easily turned into a show about Saul the lawyer cracking quips and getting clients off each week. Instead we have layered storyline with far more potential.

 

Completely agree mate. BCS had red flags waving from every orrifice but it has been absolutely ace from minute 1.

 

To be fair Breaking Bad was so boring yet addictive at the beginning, I nearly stopped watching it twice. Then all of sudden just got brilliant, I think the purpose of both programmes is to add so much depth to the characters, you sort of understand why they are doing what they are.

 

I like it, Saul is probably the best character from Breaking Bad. I loved the explanation of his name, after countless episodes I never realised it meant "it's all good man".

 

I can honestly say that I never watched any program ever before which even comes close to matching the outright cuntishness of the female characters in BB.

 

From the very start to the very end, I fucking detested both of those pernicious cunts. Zero redeeming qualities whatsoever.

Give it to me Chandler, i want it all!

Pretty boring episode if I'm honest, but that bit's funny.

[Carvalho Diablo]

I need to be me a SEX TOILET.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

I enjoyed the episode. Thought it very good.

[Chairman Meow]

The Mike storyline this week was well done I thought.

 

 

Only thing was that you could see it coming when he was going out of the bar and when they searched him that he was planning it.

 

[Mendoza]

Switched from a very comedic to a very dramatic tone seamlessly. 

[Carvalho Diablo]

Thought this weeks episode 6 was fantastic; the acting in the final scene was some of the best I can ever recall from a tv show, just absolutely brilliant.

 

Must say, I started watching Better Call Saul with some trepidation, thinking it was really on a hiding to nothing, half expecting some half arsed throw away cash in. Nothing of the sort, conversely this first series is proving (at least to me) to be streets ahead of the first couple of series of BB.

 

Six episodes of brilliant TV.

[Yozzer]

I agree, an excellent episode mainly due to the acting ability of Jonathan Banks - he plays Mike to perfection. It'll be interesting to see how often they flip between comedy and drama in this show, so far they've done it very well. I agree with Carvalho about it leaving a better first impression than Breaking Bad, just hope they manage to maintain the high standards.

[JagSquared]

Best show on tv right now? I'd say so.

[manwiththestick]

Quality episode, really liked the character of Mike in Breaking Bad so i'm liking that his background is getting filled in here. Great acting at the end.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

Yep, another good one. I had worried it much just be cashingnin on the success of Breaking Bad, but it is a good show in its own right.

[Jay86]

The only thing that's going to spoil it slightly is if the series goes on for say 5/6 seasons, Jonathan Banks will be ageing quite a bit I'd imagine, well he's going to look older and older whilst his character is supposed to be younger than in Breaking Bad.

 

All in all its started off a lot better than Breaking Bad did.

[Barrington Womble]

The latest episode was my favourite so far, but I just love Mike's character and great to see that back story.

[Carvalho Diablo]

Any Breaking Bad fan who doesn't watch Better Call Saul deserves a bloody good hiding.

[George Costanza]

Its brilliant.  Great show based around some great characters

[Furmedge]

Really enjoying it. Having Mike co star has been a masterstroke, I don't think it could have stood on its own just with Saul, but together they're brilliant.

[Elite]

Love the show but what I don't understand is how Saul is soo skint, he makes a decent wage from his public defenses, etc and drives a tin pot car and lives in a shitty flat. Surely he should be comfortable.

[JagSquared]

Depends how many of those cases he does and how quickly he can get through them.

 

He has little to no reputation and Prob supports his brother quite a bit, what with him being a recluse. I'm sure there's more to it too which they will feed us.

[Ezekiel 25:17]

I prefer this to Breaking Bad, Saul was always my favourite character.

 

Holy shit, don't think Sauls in the top five, albeit a good character.

[JagSquared]

Holy shit.

To be fair it has started stronger than breaking bad did. BB didn't really get good until near the end of season 2.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

Holy shit.

Being subjective, an' all, it's hard to say he's wrong. What I can say is that, in my view, he's quite a long way off being right. He can't even see right from where he's standing.

I liked it from the start but I do take your point, if you finish watching BB though and decide Saul was the best character, well, sheeeeeet.

Yeah saw your edit and that changes what I thought you meant.

 

Walter, Fring, hank and Mike are all better characters. So he does make it into the top 5 for me.

Jesse, bitch?
