[Closed] Better Call Saul

I think it's brilliant. I like the slow pace of and all the mundane details. I like that you really aren't sure where it's going until it happens. Why do people have such short attention spans these days and just want constant action?

It needs more scenes with Kim in them......just talking.......about anything.......

her voice is lovely!

kims out now, the new naughty girl in fargo 😀

could probably cope with the pace if we were given the full series to binge on!! in fact reckon i might let a few episodes build up now...

I'm loving it - wondering if his brother having that tape is part of an effort to get him disbarred & he changes his name to Saul Goodman to get round it somehow...

Best thing on TV!! No spoilers but the last couple of weeks have really started to get focused on where we assume it's likely to head over the coming seasons. Brilliant in every way.

Season 2 was certainly better than season 1 and will probably get better still over time.
Bob Odenkirk has come a long way since his time on The Ben Stiller Show all those years ago (show was axed after only one season)

Just finished watching episode 5 of season 3. Slow, even for BCS, but fantastic! Loved it. Another week of waiting now 🙂

After 2 years and 3 episodes I was ready to throw in the towel with this, there's a trait amongst some of the big US shows, 'Lost' started it - start a series / season with an explosive (sometimes literally) episode, then spend the next 10 episodes teasing before the equally explosive finale to keep viewers on the hook for the next series, The Walking Dead has gone that way, even Game of Thrones is showing hints of it.

Better Call Saul though took the biscuit, it managed to cram a backstory into series 1, something that most TV series would cover in episode 1 maybe with a few flash-backs later on for substance.

It ended with Jimmy on the cusp of becoming Saul, the fast-talking, slick, sometimes best thing about BB – one of those Film School Chubby shots of him turning his back on ‘the light’ or some such thing and I think most people expected series 2 to kick into gear, nope – another 10 episodes of teaser, with a humdinger of a cliff hanger ending… which of course, because it’s BCS, didn’t amount to much for 3 episodes.

Now finally, on the 3rd episode of series 3 – something has happened, they don’t have to rely on fancy camera work or great lighting, they employed a writer and stuck some plot on screen – thank bawls for that, and yes I know it’s all wonderfully artistic and this and that blah blah blah, but when I hear people gushing about how it’s so perfect it’s beyond comprehension, I just hear a naked emperor. Now at least, something is happening.

Truth is, unless you’ve seen Breaking Bad, it would be excruciating to watch and if you have – do you need 33 hours of beautifully lit footage to introduce characters you already know?

It’s good TV, and I think in years to come when people are able to binge watch it, like most did with breaking bad it will be better, but genre defining? Nah – it’s exactly the 2nd best TV show featuring a former cop and crooked lawyer based in Albuquerque ever made.

Watched today's episode and loved it. I like episodes that tell a story and the one where Mike told us about his son was I think just superb and up there with the best of any from Breaking Bad. Just got wait now until next week.

Don't agree with a bit of what you have just written. Think it has been very good from the start.

So... why did Kim say "Bingo!" What leverage has she found? Any guesses?

(I haven't watched number 5 yet).

Chuck has a fondness for squatcobbler, with a secret stash of videotapes that only his porn buddy knows the location of. Jimmy knows about Chuck's dirty secret, but not the location of the stash. Once he confirmed that there was another copy of the tape, it was obvious that it would be with the rest of the porn stash. All that's left now is to find the identity of the porn buddy.

I really like it. Different to almost everything else I've watched and I enjoy the slow burn of the show.
I also really like Saul. Something about him. I can't place it.

Love it too, prefer it to breaking bad, better paced and less farce.

I even liked the bit in the 'hearing' in the last episode where everyone just sat around fiddling with stuff.

Maybe it is because I loved Breaking Bad, but I don't care, if it carries on like this I'd be happy to watch 10+ seasons.

Great episode (last Tuesday's). It's been building towards that for a while.

"a while". Yeah two and a half years.

No new episode today? What's the deal?

Next episode Tuesday 6th 🙁

I'm 2 weeks behind. 😐
