What's wrong with me? I literally watched every episode of the first season and I have zero interest in watching any further. Nothing about this show does it for me. The story is slow, predictable and contrived. Is it because I have never seen Breaking Bad? Is it possible that you have to have watched BB to appreciate BCS?

In a nutshell, yes.

Liking Better Call Saul is for those that simply can't let go of Breaking Bad. It's the same thing that got Joanie Loves Chachi a couple of seasons sandwiched in between Laverne & Shirley and Mork & Mindy.

Pretty excited for season 2 premiering tonight. This is the best show on TV IMO.

I think there are other shows that are better (Mr. Robot). Saul is a nice reminder of what we once had in BB. I like Saul as a stand alone, but far from best show on TV.

I watched Breaking Bad and love BCS. My wife never watched, but she like BCS. Who knows.

I think Saul is the best character in TV, but IDK if it's the best show. Maybe, I'd give Walking Dead a slight edge for current shows. I love this show though and am surprised at how good it's been. Excited for tonight.

Outside of a few particular Netflix Original characters, the short lived X Files reboot and the Big Bang gang... I'd agree with that. I watched the last season of BB and Saul was to BB what Kramer was to Seinfeld.

I have to admit, the Lucifer character has caught my attention. I wish HBO, Netflix or Showtime would have gotten that actor and changed the premise a bit. I think that could have been an all timer.

No one is even close to Frank Underwood right now.

Tony Soprano and Frank Underwood are plotting Castro's assassination right now and they'll do what Kennedy and Giancana couldn't.

Best two in my life.

Wooly WTF buddy? Never seen one of the best shows ever ever ever... Do yourself a favor and take some time to watch BB. You'll be a better man for it.

Walking Dead has got to be the most overrated show on TV. It's not bad, but I just don't see the appeal? It's insanely overdramatic and the characters wear on me quickly. Not to mention, it seems like the same scenario plays out each time.

But that's just me. That's why BCS and BB appeal better to me, since there's much more diversity. It's not just drama and killing, there's a good bit of comedy and light-heartedness mixed in.

I have not seen Mr. Robot or the X Files reboot (currently watching all the old X Files episodes) so I can't compare BCS to them but it's the best show that I personally watch. It's better than HoC IMO.

Btw I agree with whoever mentioned Lucifer. I really like that show and the actor is phenomenal. I'm guessing it will get canceled though.

Lucifer got pretty decent views/ratings. Also pretty good volume on Hulu. Might be around for at least season 2.

I watched BB and absolutely loved it. Thought it was the best show I had seen. I feel exactly the same way you do about BCS. I watched the first season and really haven't made a single effort to watch this season. Not really sure why, but it just didn't draw the same interest for me as BB.
