Better Call Saul
 

Anyone else watching?

I love it.....you can tell it's written by Vince Gilligan from Breaking Bad just by the style and storyline.

Bob Odenkirk was one of my favourite characters in BB.

Can't wait for the second episode later tonight!

Better Call Saul – AMC

Yep!

I love seeing a lot of the "old" characters

Best - lawyer - ever

Just watched the first episode... I'm hooked (though I knew I would be). Loved the lead into next week

BTW, it was a most watched series debut on cable ever. The best part of the series is they wont have to write an ending, its already been done!

Absolutely, Mike and Tuco, already. No telling who all will show up. When Walt and Skyler were looking for a business to launder all their cash, didn't Saul show them the Nail / Pedicure joint where Saul has his office ??

Just finished the second part of the first epsidoe. Love it.

Was expecting Mike to be in the show, definitely was not expecting Tuco Salamanca. Giggled like a little girl when he popped out of that front door.

Leg breaking....ouch.

Not sure if it is as good as the hype, but pretty good show. Using so many Breaking Bad characters in pretty ingenious. Makes the show a little better than the sum of its parts for the loyal Breaking Bad crowd while still a good show for the uninitiated. Having lived in Albuquerque for many years, it is cool to have shows with familiar surroundings and themes. Most shows are set in places like LA or NY....or some very homogenous suburb.

Love the character. The show is good, pobably needs a few more episodes to ramp up to it's potential.

I did not like it. Very very slow.

Anyone know what illness Chuck has?

Loved the desert scene with Tuco....much homage to BB!

Seems like Mike is going to have a big part in the show, but Tuco was maybe just a cameo?

so far so good.....
could be my new favorite show!
i am waiting to see huell.

"The only way that car is worth $500 is if there is a $300 hooker sitting in it."
Good line to remember the next time your looking at car to buy. :D

Gilligan always has these crappy cars in his shows....

I just figured out what Chuck's illness is....some kind of aversion to electromagnetic forces. Remember he had typed out that letter to the Scandinavian professor and wanted Jimmy to get it translated into Finnish, saying the professor had been doing research on the electromagnetic effects on Zebra fish.

Yawwwwwnnnnnnn

Breaking bad is probably the best modern tv drama of all time. I'm glad they're making this.

It's very intriguing for sure.
I think the opening scene where Saul works in Nebraska as a Cinnabon employee,is where he conceals his identity after Breaking Bad saga forces him to go rogue, and the whole show is him remembering his pre Breaking Bad era.I think depending on the success of the show we definitely gonna see the,Mr. White and Pinkman again.

And Gus Frenz! :cool:

Yeah......kinda like the first season of Breaking Bad? ;)

Gilligan has already said Walt and Jesse will make some cameo's, but very limited.

From (somewhat) successful lawyer to Cinnabon employee. The interesting part of that whole "witness protection" is its not even needed anymore since Walt took just about everyone out.

Some of the breaking bad episodes were the same way. Not sure if you watched that series - but remember the fly episode taking place in the lab?

besides Jesse, he's about the only guy alive the feds could pin anything on. Walt likely had leverage on him as well. Seems pretty likely there's other stuff on him we don't know about. The guy is a lawyer after all.

I agree, but what I liked about those episodes is they did have a point, they weren't just fillers. That fly episode showed the attention to detail and extremes Walt went to. Its one thing to just tell the viewer "Walt makes great crystal meth because he is very detailed" and another to show just how extreme he really was... all IMHO of course.

that being said, I don't need to re-watch that episode again:D

Meh. I'm skipping this show.

ha-ha ...... more for us.

While we already know Saul from BB they need to establish how he became Saul.

From the first two episodes we gather that he is a generally sympathetic and moral individual who is constantly at risk of being pulled over to the dark side, something he has already done earlier in life.

These are set up episodes, similar to BB, designed to create sympathy and empathy for the character for when he eventually abandons his ethics and the real series starts.

Then they should start establishing that. Visually the show is awesome. It's time for the writers to do this thing.

oh ye of little patience...... trust me on this, it's going to be great.

Well......it's already great.

Not everyone appreciates subtle story telling.

Cue 'Rambo'.......for those folks. ;)

we know that...... just trying to preach to the fence-sitters.

I think they're pushing it a little fast and not giving it time to develop like BB did. the BB writers seemed have the attitude that they didn't care if anyone watched it, they were making the show they wanted to make. Better Call Saul seems more eager to grab an audience.

It would seem the "quickness" would be because we have some familiarity with the base characters at this point. I think they are working off the assumption that most watchers of this show were BB fans, so there is little need for a long drawn out first season to introduce us to the main characters and their individual nuances.

Yes

Really enjoyed last night's episode.....feel the Breaking Bad mojo at work here.

More glimpses into Saul's past.

Mike comes out of the booth.

And I just enjoy Saul's dry wit....lol.
