Breaking Bad Season 5

i just dont seem to get it with Better Call Saul...saw most of last night and all the first episode. Lead role is decent, but the show is lacking imo in many areas. Kinda boring.

Was never a big fan of Breaking Bad

So if you didn't like that you probably won't like Saul...


"I don't like chocolate ice cream let me try chocolate pudding; nope didn't like that either."

If its associated with something so critically acclaim as Breaking Bad Im willing to give it a chance especially with Bob Odenkirk staring. Its not that i hate it but I dont like this kind of single linear plot structure drama. After 2 episodes, im like who else do i really care in the story about other than Saul who is a Coen Bros-like completely unlikable lead. It can be slow to develop sometimes and then too much bs in other parts.

I did think the desert scene was pretty genius though

First ep was kinda slow but it's to be expected. It ended with a bang though. I'll check out ep 2 tonight.

ep2 was better, but it's still lacking in the "why should i care" dept. it's decent, but not amazing so far.

Yeah but what shows are truly amazing after 2 episodes? Even BB took a while to build up. It's like reading the first chapter of a book.

I'm hooked, I love Saul. The best line so far was Charlie to Saul (James McGill), "wouldn't you rather build your own success than ride on someone else's coattails?"

Brilliant reference to the coattails of one Walter White.

Not to mention the obvious parallel with Saul making his first foray into the underworld in episode 1. Right away, he broke bad, and now we get to see all that takes place from point A to point B.

Don't put it past Vince Gilligan to make this show every bit as brilliant as his first masterpiece.

I never really got the show. I got to the middle of season 2 and stopped watching.
I think that Jesse guy reminded me too much of a coworker at the time so I couldn't deal with that drama.

Now that I no longer deal with that, I might try to pick it back up and see how it goes.

BB took 5 minutes of the first episode. best opening scene, ever.

GoT's first ep was pretty terrible though. "here's 500 people and 0 reason to care about any of them." turned out alright though.

I thought the first couple of eps of BB were slow too. Took me a while to come back...once he started making the blue stuff it all changed.

I really am loving the BCS so far though. I don't care about the pace. Most of BB followed roughly the same pace and I loved it. Only in the last two seasons did everything get crazy. Besides BSC doesn't have to be one of the five-best shows ever for me to like it. I think too many BB fan-boys won't give it a chance because it probably can't be as good as BB.

If your attention span is too short for BB or Better Call Saul, I question your intelligence.
