Better Call Saul

TrampLineman · Feb 4, 2015

Any of the Breaking Bad junkies (like myself) going to watch Saul? I can't wait to watch it and hope it's half as good as BB even though I don't expect it to be near as good as BB (not many are). I think this show has tons of potential though.

Thoughts? I think it comes on the 8th and 9th right?

I will be watching out of curiosity.

and the first two episodes will air Sunday and Monday

I'll definitely check it out. I've been rewatching Breaking Bad for the 2nd time on Netflix. Just as good the 2nd time.

I just accomplished that feat myself a few weeks ago. I picked up a lot of things I missed the first go around even though I was late to the BB viewing party and I can't believe I was that dumb.

I think it will be pretty neat we see some of those dead and gone from BB show up on BCS. I think this can be pretty funny and serious. Just hope it doesn't bomb though.

Looks like Better Call Saul may start out before BB. There is a trailer for it that shows Mike still alive.

Yah, BCS is a 'prequel'. In fact, in the beginning, 'Saul' will be going by his real name, before he took on 'Saul Goodman'.

Some critics who have seethe first two episodes are saying it's better than the first few episodes of BB...

Time will tell, but the DVR is definitely set to record these.

I am definitely going to check it out. I always loved his character.

been a fan of Bob Odenkirk since he was on the Ben Stiller show on MTV in the early 90's, guy is a comedy genius and it's nice to see the rest of the world catching on

Can't wait for Saul

I find it a daunting challenge to match Breaking Bad's awesomeness. That said, I would watch it. But now that football season is over, we eliminated our cable.
If it's worth watching, I'll catch up later.

I loved Breaking Bad. Saul was a great character on that show.

But I just can't get excited at the prospect of learning that character's back story.

I'll be interested to see what folks think. I may change my mind on watching it folks rave about it.

Interesting so far in a 'Breaking Bad' sorta way.....

I liked the beginning where he was working at Cinnabon. Breaking Bad fans will remember he made a joke about that

DzynKingRTR · Feb 8, 2015

there has been far less commercials in this than The Walking Dead

DzynKingRTR · Feb 8, 2015

Tuco!

Bazza · Feb 8, 2015

Ha ha...that was good.....no telling where this one is going but I like it so far.

So second episode is tomorrow?

Bamaro · Feb 9, 2015

Interesting that the 1st episode of a drama included 2 SNL alumni, Saul & Chuck.

TrampLineman · Feb 9, 2015

I thought last night was great. Can't wait for tonight's episode as well. I was scared we would be thinking too highly of this show and yet I was still pleased. The directing reminds you of Breaking Bad yet it's a different set of characters (I know Vince created this as well) and makes you feel like we still have BB but just in different times.

As for tonight, I think Tuco already killed the skating brothers:biggrin:

I thought the first 40 minutes or so were pretty slow and pretty dang depressing. Very little relief in the writing. The last half-isn hour was more on par with what I had really hoped to see, and I suspect tonight's episode will be very good.

Yea it did drag some at the beginning but ended very very well. My Dad just watched it and said the same thing but he is still trying to remember all the characters as he watched BB in bits but doesn't remember Tuco. Tonight should start off good and hopefully end good:biggrin2:

I had a hard time staying with it. Will keep watching though.
