Default Better Call Saul

Anyone here watching this series? Breaking Bad fans recognize it as the spinoff from that show.

Season 2 of Better Call Saul began last night, on AMC network. Recommended.

I'm not watching it yet although it's in our queue. We loved Breaking Bad....I thought Saul Goodman was an awesome character. We'll probably start as soon as we're finished with Homeland....been watching that....great show.

Buck...I think you will enjoy it. It is made by the same writer/show runner, Vince Gilligan.

This show has a different "feel" than Breaking Bad, certainly in the pacing. Along with several of the same characters from Breaking Bad there are other references, some rather subtle, that make it fun.

It's currently my favorite show on TV. IMO it has the same great pacing and air tight writing that Breaking Bad had. Love it!

I binged Season 1 just in time to start Season 2 "live" last week. Loving it so far! I believe the prequel treatment was the right way to go. "Slippin' Jimmy" is a hoot!

A ridiculously high bar. It's different, excellent, and one of the best shows on TV right now.

I actually think it is far better. Female lead is better. WW vs SG (as a male series lead) is developing nicely (and SG is getting way better scriptwriting than WW did) and anything without that twerp Pinkman is a positive. Loved BrBa but just couldn't stand his character.
