    Better Call Saul



    The trials and tribulations of criminal lawyer, Saul Goodman, in the time leading up to establishing his strip-mall law office in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
    Highly recommended IMO

    Season two was when Breaking Bad really started to puff up, and I expect the same here. Saul's already moved to a super-duper lawyer buffet (with a super-duper desk) from the back of a nail salon. Everything's already set up for the more interesting episodes to begin.

    BB wasn't _that_ good either though. All my friends watched one ep a week and were hyper about it. Maybe it's just not a show you should binge, like I did. It's good, but to me it's not better than BCS. BB might have been more interesting with all the drugs going on, but it's not a surprise that it's more about legal cases in this one. I just hope it's not going to turn into a House MD, where every episode is basically the same (e.g. sick person, it's lupus, it's not lupus, victim cured)

    Alright, there are only three episodes left for this season, and I think DarkSaibot has been right so far.

    Alright, season 2 is over and...

    Spoiler :
    ...Jimmy's finale was bleh. When the tape recorder was revealed, I thought "uh, I saw this coming, Jimmy will be in so much trouble now ". I'm more concerned about Mike. Who other than Nacho could possibly know he was going to the middle of the desert to kill Héctor Salamanca, then follow him there to stop him? And what were their interests on doing that? It could be argued that this was somehow a foregone conclusion since Héctor, Nacho and the twins are all alive in Breaking Bad, but it could have been this bullet that put the first on a wheelchair, so it's still done well.

    Also, the conspiracy theory about how we'd see Gus because the taking first letter of each episode name spells "FRING'S BACK" after rearranging was false

    Season 4 premiered some days ago, I'm grabbing the first episode as we speak.

    I can't believe I didn't post anything about season 3, so here goes: it was 'kay, but I'm getting tired of waiting for something big to happen.

    Nice! I paused on season 2, can't remember why but whatever. Now I'm re-watching whole Breaking Bad again, then will go back to Better Call Saul.

    I've been meaning to rewatch Breaking Bad for a while. It really was a well-directed masterpiece; by season five they had me pressing F5 after midnight in order to grab the latest episode as soon as it was uploaded.

    Same goes for Mr. Robot, which will get a fourth season this year. The first two were very good.

    I dont think anything big will ever happen. It's an anti climax tv show~

    We're halfway through season four and you've been right so far, but I think I may have been "seeing" this series the wrong way. I expected a big buildup followed by an constantly upwards trajectory like the Breaking Bad it's spun off from, but perhaps it's better seen as a slice-of-life kind of thing, where there is some plot that drives each season or at least kickstarts it, but the main attractive is the characters' day to day situations.

    Under that perspective, I'd rate it 8, perhaps even 9 out of 10. After all, I'm still watching it

    I agree; It's definitely that kind of show. Going into it expecting a breaking bad will only leave you wanting more.
    But that being said, I'm quite enjoying seeing everything sloooowly come together. Like how they're now building the underground lab! :)

    Alright, season 4 is over.

    Spoiler Conclusion and spoilerers:
    Wiegler was asking for it, but having to put him down may have been a transition point for Mike. The others can still finish building the lab, and knowing Gus, they will.

    Great plan by Kim to make Jimmy show some fake sadness about Chuck and change the board's decision with the appeal (blink and you'll miss it: the waitress spreading the word about those $25000 was the same girl from the college crew that has helped Jimmy at various points, including this season with Huell), but did you see the look on her face when he told her that the speech all lies? And when he said he wouldn't be practicing law under the name McGill? Jimmy was still frustrated at realizing that to the system, he was no different than that girl who didn't get the scholarship because she had shoplifted two years prior, but still... this is going to be a very big strain on their relationship.

    The current season has been great thus far.
