Watching Better Call Saul for the first time

[LotusBud]

On the end of season 2.

I do not get the hype. Mediocre. Slightly entertaining and addictive, but mediocre overall.

 

[LotusBud]

No one's mad?

 

[The Countess]

I tried to get into it but I didn’t make it thru the first episode.

 

[Lily]

No one's mad?

Why would anyone be angry? You don't have to like what others like.

 

[Blurt]

I've only watched the first episode. It was... okay.

Might continue in a spare moment. Might not.

Last night I watched Odenkirk in Nobody and quite enjoyed it. Then again, I enjoyed the John Wick trilogy, too, so no surprise there. These high violence, copless, crime flicks are a blast.

Did you watch Breaking Bad?

 

[Blurt]

Yep. One of the few TV series I've watched in its entirety.

Saul was a fun character in that one.

The thing with Better Call Saul is that it appears to be an origin story.

I don't want an origin story. I want the fully formed Saul Goodman, not Jimmy McGill.

I think the Jimmy McGill story informs the Saul Goodman character. I think that the character Charles McGill's love hate relationship with Jimmy McGill is phenomenally played out.

 

[Dove]

No one's mad?

I've never even heard of it. I don't watch much TV at all.

Yeah. That's the part that really bugs me.

Anyway, I thought some people might be mad because I see a lot of people raving about how it's the best series ever. Nope.

Have you watched The Sopranos? THAT is the best series ever

Nope. Never watched it, either. I will someday.

I have some faves:

Rubicon. Only lasted one season. Brilliant.

Patriot. Only 2 seasons on Prime. So. fucking. good.

Pissed that both these series were cancelled.

Some people do get all crazy...whatever, to each his own is the way to go for things in the arts. Actually for most things in life.

 

[Blurt]

I've watched very few series in their entirety. The X-Files, Lost, The Wire, Six Feet Under, Breaking Bad, Firefly, Bosch, and maybe a couple of others.

I, too, have never seen The Sopranos. Some day I will, I suppose.

 

[O.H. Krill]

The first two seasons were kind of slow and I stopped watching for a while. Then people started talking about how great season 6 is, so I binged seasons 3-5 and it does get better.

 

[realgrimm]

Didn't get thru the first episode.. waste of time

 

[Jeannie]

i lmao at this scene

 

[Lily]

Chuck makes the show fascinating in my opinion.

Six Feet Under was great. Lost was really good, but that ending sucked so much. Wow. Didn't see the others. I do love slow burn TV, though. It's the best creation since TV began, imo.

On the end of season 2.

i only started watching it cuz i missed breaking bad

That's why I started watching it. The best part of BCS is the Jimmy & Chuck relationship, the sibling rivalry and family dynamic.

No one's mad?

im mad as hell and i aint gonna take it anymore - u REALLY need 2 watch breaking bad first

I watched BB. Now I am really uninterested in BCS.

 

[Blurt]

Yeah, they used to make shows about good, decent people.

Like Archie Bunker and Dexter.

The Cosby Show started off well, but the ending was very dark.
