Better Call Saul - almost forgot

almost forgot to set the DVR. Came in tonight. Excited for this series.

Was absolutely fantastic. Lived up to the hype. The writing is genius.

I don't like it being tied into the Breaking Bad ecosystem on the very first episode with Tuco at the end. I'll still give a chance for a few more episodes since Odenkirk is so fucking hilarious though.

Awesome episode!

More funny than dramatic would you guys say?

Isn't that the whole point? To show how he became Saul Goodman?

He seemed more ambulance chaser than anything when we were first introduced to him in Breaking Bad.

Was a little slow, had its moments

Not sure if I like Tuco being in the show. I'll stick with it for a season. Hope it lives up to the hype.

Solid. entertaining to see the poor lawyer struggle.

Yeah they are going to have to develop him into something more than he was on BB. Sleazebag, cowardly lawyer won't be able to carry the show. Of course if they develop his character into something other than BB then it won't quite make sense either.

If there's any show that deserves the benefit of the doubt, it's this one. TWD, however, has been shitting harder and harder every week. Saul being on Monday means I'm probably not watching AMC on Sundays anymore.

I'll give it four or five episodes to see if it picks up.

The only two good spinoffs I ever saw were The Jeffersons and Frasier, and they both almost completely divorced themselves of their parent shows. I think the odds are against this one when they had no ideas other than have Tuco there on the very first night.

Frasier was pure mung

Good times was a good spin off

so was Maude....Adrienne Barbaeu's titties were epic

This episode isn't too good either.

Not good? Did you not see psycho Tuco?

Still better than 95% of the shit on TV. This superhero and/or supernatural kick the networks are on is fucking played out and just plain faggy.

Biznatch?!

It feels like more of a comedy. And that's okay. I liked 2nd episode.

I think kids are calling it a dramedy.

It was alright. I'll watch it for awhile to see where they take it, but if it continues down the sort of comedy/Breaking Bad without Walt&Jesse road then I'll probably get bored with it.

Another awesome episode.
