Better Call Saul

So the first episode of Breaking Bad spin-off/prequel 'Better Call Saul' is up on Netflix now, with the second episode up tomorrow.

IMO the first episode was great, I loved it. Better than the Breaking Bad pilot, and I'm wanting more already. There are some nice tie-ins to BB as well, although I hope the show doesn't rely on doing this too much.

Overall the show is very similar to BB in tone and stylistically as well. Can't wait to see more, nice job Vince Gilligan.

It was good

I knew something wasn't going to go right with the plan to hit the car, as Saul explained the plan beforehand so the show was never going to explain it then show it happen, as that would be needlessly doubling up. However what I thought was going to happen was that the guy being hit would actually be paralysed/killed, so it still surprised me with the hit and run.

It was a good ending too, although I am worried that there will be too many cameo Breaking Bad appearances - Mike's seemed completely unnecessary?

I'm glad that I have Netflix, that was pretty great.

So far it is really good.
Seems to get going a lot faster than Breaking Bad did.
I really can't wait too see more.

although im not sure i think maybe it will be Tuco who is the "Big Bad" considering theres still time before we see how he gets to his position from Season 1 of Breaking Bad?

Loved the first two episodes.

Going to watch the first couple of episodes tomorrow, not expecting much as it is a spin off but never know...

Watched the second episode last night, so far so good

Watched episode 2 just earlier, it was brilliant. Compare this with the first two episodes of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul comes out on top for sure.

Enjoyed it so far, first episode was perhaps a little slow, but it wasn't unnecessary.

Yeah the first 10 minutes of the first episode kinda dragged, they did it purposefully but I disliked that.

Edd · Post by **Edd** » Mon Feb 16, 2015 5:35 pm

I thought the first part of ep 1, the black and white bit, was the best bit. Only bit that's dragged so far was the montage in ep 2 which started to go on for slightly too long.

Eh, I thought the montage was a good insight in to his life and how repetitive it is.

I watched the third episode this morning and it hasn't dipped in form it was good stuff.

Double post yolo

Im enjoying it so far, its got Breaking Bad written all over it but it seems to be carving its own identity as well. Im pleasantly surprised at how well its turning out.

Loved episode 3.

Yes that was the worst part of Breaking Bad by a country mile

Robbie · Post by **Robbie** » Thu Feb 19, 2015 12:29 pm

I think that everyone who watched BB will agree.

Rawrgna · Post by **Rawrgna** » Thu Feb 19, 2015 12:42 pm

but anyways the biggest bugbear I have is the little intro jingle so far just isn't as good as what BB had

Post by **OrangeRakoon** » Thu Feb 19, 2015 4:28 pm

I actually much prefer this intro - Breaking Bad's was rubbish to begin with, it just became iconic as it went on. This one is actually stylish. I love how it cuts out before finishing.

Yeah, it was goddamn polarising.

Never watched a scene that I hated yet loved. I think it was just about worth it for watching Gus almost escape death until the fantastic reveal. But yeah, you really had to suspend all manner of disbelief in a show grounded to normalcy.

I guess my point to the Saul thing is, can't be as bad as that moment can it, really? Haha! XD
