Thought I would start a thread for this upcoming Breaking Bad spinoff - 'Better call Saul!'

I just finished watching episode one and really liked it a lot. Lots of potential and it has that sort of weird, quirky vibe I loved in "Breaking Bad." Episode two is on tonight too!
Right, we are going to watch it live (or cached by ~10 min) - I know - very quaint. :)
Quite good, he was one of the best recurring characters in BB and I can't wait to see where this takes us. Loved episode 1 and I'm watching two tonight as soon as I get home from school.
Wow, I am actually current on a show others are watching! Breaking new ground here (if you don't count GoT). :)
Pretty good start. Probably a better start than Breaking Bad even. The first couple episodes of BB took a while to find their footing.
Agreed.
First 2 episodes, very good. Loved it when [spoiler]Tuco[/spoiler] showed up. I'm a big Bob Odenkirk fan AND Michael McKean for the bonus! I need a space blanket.
We just watched episode 2 - really loving this series.
Very good so far after only two episodes. I'm pretty hooked.
Still wondering about a bit of the backstory. Enjoying it unfold.
I'm really loving it too. Feels very tonally similar to BB. 12 episodes isn't gonna be enough. I guess Mad Men starts right when this ends so it'll be ok
My wife is pumped up for the next (final) season of Madmen. I never got into that show.
I'm wondering how much of the current -Post Breaking Bad- timeline they are going to cover. Will it be mostly backstory with just a splash of the current times or will it be more like Arrow with like a 50/50 split.
Jeff :usflag
Good question. They can always cover his life post-BB - that looks like a potential for some fun.
I think for now at least it will stay set in the past, pre-BB era.
Yes, I am anxious to see how he connects with some of the other characters from BB
This weeks episode was really good. Loving this show. (more importantly the wife likes it so it will be easy to stay current)
Yep, another solid episode.
Love how his backstory is slowly unfolding.
Last episode was SO GOOD! Love the Mike Ehrmentraut character, and was glad to see some of his back story.

Yep - this series continues to rock!
good solid cast, and some great writing.
This last episode was some of the best acting and most heart wrenching dialogue I've seen in a series probably since Breaking Bad ended. This episode was Emmy bait for absolute certain. If you're a Breaking Bad fan and haven't yet watched this show, the most recent episode is the perfect jumping on point and will get you hooked for sure.
You're not kidding Joby. I didn't realize he had those kind of acting chops. What a show...
If anybody had doubts, I'm fairly certain they should be erased by now. Wowza.
I almost cried when they showed only three episodes left at the end of this weeks show. That sucks.

I agree - such a good show. Hopefully next year will be a longer season. I really love this show.
Such a great show. I saw that twist coming at the end of the latest episode.
Been a great first season. Finale next week!
Too short of a season!
This show came out of the gate strong and continues to deliver. One of the few shows I still consider appointment TV.
Final show of the season was good - but to me not as powerful and the penultimate episode of last week. Still, this is an amazing show, and I cannot wait for the next season. Hopefully it will be a 15 show season at least.
Really good season finale and I think it obviously set the stage for what is to come next season.
I am blown away by this series. Some of the best, thought provoking television that I have ever seen. So many layers in the characters, so many things that hit me in the gut... pretty amazing. SO sad that we have to wait now. :)
I agree - an amazing show. Nice to see Squiggy back in the saddle as well..
If anyone is watching this series and didn't watch "Breaking Bad" you really need to go back and watch that series too.
Love BB. I had to take a break in the last season - was getting too stressed by the show. :)
Yeah, I knew you had watched it. I was talking more to Mr. Moyer - and anyone else reading this.
Thank God Game of Thrones is coming on now that Saul is over for the season. :) That and Silicon valley season 2..
I'm trying to get into Silicon Valley but it's not doing much for me. Halt and Catch Fire is so much more interesting. And season two starts up in June.
I watched all of Breaking Bad in a binge one week on Netflix... oh my gosh... pretty much hooked me so when they announced that Better Call Saul was coming on I almost peed my pants. LOL.

My sister will be on season 2 as Lee Pace's secretary. She just got a speaking part last week, and she's pretty excited!

Dude! That is awesome!
My wife took to Silicon Valley - it seems to be a saltier incarnation of BBT in a way. I like it so far (at least Season 1).
