Hope this series is half as good as Breaking Bad, Same writers, same directors don't see why it shouldn't.

Starts tonight.

ingenious the way their writing this.
I'm guessing this is Jimmy Mcgill (Saul) before he met Walt and Jesse. The way they opened the scene with him working at a donut shop in his after Walt and Jesse meth happenings. He pops in the VCR tape and starts remembering how things started for him.

Watched until Jimmy was talking to Chuck about his law firm last night, and I walked. Way too slow, it's going to have to get a LOT better, before I'll spend time watching it.

Definitely one of the best things (Breaking Bad) Iv'e ever seen. My sister bought me the box set of series one for Christmas and I basically ended up watching the whole thing in something like two nights. On to series 3 at the moment.

You would like it...I didn't watch it when it was first aired but happen to catch a marathon of it. I was hooked.

This Saul Show has the same ability has to start somewhere. It's pretty much taking place before the whole Meth happenings. When Saul was just starting out.

I tried watching Breaking Bad on netflix. I made it into the second season and kept waiting for a time when it made me happy that never happened so I quit watching it. It was just too damn depressing for me. Blink

I got that familiar Breaking Bad feeling when Tuco poked his head out the door at the end.

It looks like this show will be as good as Breaking Bad at teasing the next episode.

It'll get going....
"One of the least well-kept secrets about Better Call Saul is that its opening moments take place post-Breaking Bad, in a world where lawyer Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk) has fallen from grace and had to change his identity to go into hiding.

This opening sequence charts a typical day for the new Saul, who works at a Cinnabon. The sequence is in black and white, perhaps as a wink and a nudge to Odenkirk's work in the film Nebraska, which was also devoid of color. But then, at the very end, there's a brief flash of color, as Saul watches old ads of his Albuquerque days. That color is only reflected in his glasses, however. The allure of the bad old past is always there, always tempting."

Thats Ironic cause everybody at work was talking about it (When it was first aired) But I couldn't bring myself to watch it because I didn't want anything to do with drugs being seen in my house..(10 year old Daughter in the home)

Then it had that Marathon and it went a different way than I thought i was.
Surprised me, very good show.

i'll have to give it a shot. i am 2 episodes behind on Americans, 3 on Justified, Walking Dead, 4 on Archer, and 12 Monkeys.

i just haven't had time to watch TV lately, been busy and been reading the Song of Ice and Fire, i'm on Dance with Dragons right now... but when i'm all caught up i'll give BB a watch.

Same here, deep into s2 it just became boring... Same shit seemed to be happening over and over after a while. Made money, lost money, made money, lost money,.... I loved it at first then it just became repetitive.

Season 5 of BB (the last season) was amazing. They tied up all the loose ends perfectly.

Best tv show of all time

I thought BB was highly over rated.
I loved it for the first 3 seasons but it was so repetitive but im like that with a lot of shows like Sons of Anarchy went the same way for me.

Better Call Saul looks like a watcher though, just as those guys were.

i liked the first couple seasons of Sons of Anarchy as well, but i grew out of it when they went full-gangster.

Fargo was an awesome show that had me hooked from the first episode to the finale. looking forward to BCS

Uh yeah, I think I'm there too now, after the last 2 episodes. Especially the last one...

I liked the first episode! Was anyone else search for familiar faces throughout the show?
Oh, and those of you who use the internet to watch your shows, AMC has the first episode on their website for a limited time. It is free and you don't have to be a member.

I caught the final ep of Breaking Bad tonight and rolled right into ep 1 & 2 of Better Call Saul.
Seen the full BB series many times, but the final ep is such a great way to end the series. My favorites series followed by GoT.

But Better Call Saul is looking to be a good one. They jumped right in with some BB characters and references.
Not a spoiler, but when they were in the desert Tuco told his skinny homie "Stop. Helping." I lol'ed.

I was wondering the timeline relating to BB.
BB takes place from 2009-2011 starting on Walt's 50th Bday and ending on his 52nd. (which surprised me, I didn't realize the story time line was only 2 years).
In ep 2 of BCS, he reads off his credit card a 2004 exp date. So BCS takes place sometime during or before 2004.

Anyway, I'm glad there's a new AMC series I can get into. Really dig Hell on Wheels also, but never got into Mad Men or another one that is slipping my mind...And Walking Dead went downhill after Shane shot the fat guy.

I watched BB when it was all done and dusted, so luckily I didn't have to wait a week for the next episode or a year for the next series.

not sure if I should do the same with BCS, because some BB episodes I have no idea how some people could have waited a week to see what happened next!

But then on the other hand if BCS is anywhere near as good as BB then I think it'll be almost impossible to avoid any spoilers until the end of the season... hmmm decisions...

I watched the first episode yesterday. It was ok. Hard to say if Saul is main character material, but we'll see.
Glad to see Mike again, who was my favourite character in BB.

You're not alone, I haven't watched it either as I've heard the same things that it's really dark, with no humor.
My g/f tends to like comedies, so I might havta try again.

We just now started watching House of Cards on Netflix.
We are in Season 1 episode 6. Wow that is a great show.
I have this thing for Kate Mara ever since I first saw her in Transiberia. I liked that movie and did not realize she is the daughter of the owner of the NFL Giants!

Also finally starting to get dialed into Netflix.
I'm always behind the Techno curve.... Smile

GoT jumped into Hollywood-ish territory for me and i backed out of watching it after the 3rd season. i am reading the Song of Ice and Fire series though, so i'm sure that had a lot to do with it. the books are MUCH better than the television series. the first season of Game of Thrones was spot on connected to the books, but the rest of the show is catered to the wow factor and not following along the books.

still cool to hear you are into it though, it's a hell of a story. (ps... Cersei is a CUNT)

Hell on Wheels is another favorite, pretty wild right now with the end of the last season, next season should be interesting being based in Utah.

Peelout, I stopped watching GoT half way through the 3rd season myself, I just found myself becoming less interested in it as it went along. BB is on another level though, well worth a watch considering I avoided it at first due to the popularity.

I don't see how so many can like BB but not BCS? 2nd episode was great, I laughed several times.
