Better Call Saul

Circa · Feb 8, 2015

The Breaking Bad thread is great but I have a feeling this is going to be just as good, If not 'better'. I was there with a great feeling back on January 20, 2008.
This may just be a dream but I think we'll all agree.... Vince Gilligan is a wonder.

Just 8 minutes away... I am quite excited! AMC Sundays are just phenomenal.

Thanks for making the thread! Can't wait for the show!

Drinking a Rusty nail to start..

I have a feeling tonight's episode is going to be amazing. First one definitely laid the ground work for a good series

Irish YJ · Feb 9, 2015

yep, was starting to yawn a bit, but the ending turned up the volume. can't wait

I just started the final season of Breaking Bad... can I watch Better Call Saul without spoilers or should I hold them on my DVR until I finish BB?

I might wait, the beginning of Saul might spoil a small something in the final season of BB

Wait. If you watch Better Call Saul, IMO, when Saul comes into BB, you'll get distracted by him and lose focus on what's going on in BB and not get the full experience.

BB is the greatest show ever made. No sense in adding to your current agenda. Sit back and enjoy.

Keep going with BB and watch BCS afterwards. I was so addicted to BB that I wouldn't have considered putting it aside to start something new. lol

Enjoyed the premiere last night and think tonight's second episode could be really epic. Definitely some scenes in episode one that I can relate to working as a public defender.

When I saw the two skateboard characters all I could think was Badger and Skinny Pete.

The Walking Dead helped make Better Call Saul the biggest premiere in cable history | The Verge

The Bob Odenkirk-led Breaking Bad spinoff attracted 4.4 million viewers in the key 18-49 demographic, making it cable's biggest premiere ever in that demo

That's pretty wild, even though it's due to The Walking Dead.

I'd say it's more that people know it's a spin-off from BB and it had received great reviews. If you had put some other show in that slot it would have scored those ratings.

The Walking Dead needs to GTFO

A lot of people hold that opinion that its the greatest tv show. Others might argue the Wire or whatever but BB is certainly in the discussion.

That is insane. The walking dead did help a lot but its also due to an unprecedented level of hype obviously cause to Breaking Bad.

irishfan · Feb 9, 2015

Walking Dead is just unbearable for me to watch. I don't think it had much of an impact on the BCS ratings last night.

I'll be very interested to see how the numbers compare for tonight's BCS compared to last night's.

AMC premiered the series The Killing after The Walking Dead and it scored a 2.7 rating and at the time that was the 2nd best premiere of a new series on AMC.

koonja · Feb 9, 2015

I don't think any show can top BB because of Hank, Jesse, Walt, and especially Gus. Each one is phenomenal and they dive so deep into each one's life. Gus is my favorite character of all time.

That scene where he walks towards the snipers gives me chills.

I remember stumbling upon a marathon of the first season with my roommates and all of us having the reaction of "WHAT IS THIS GLORIOUS SHOW?!" and then by the time season 3 ended it was just pure shit.

The killing was a great show. I know some who loved it and others who didn't. Still haven't watched season 4 on Netflix

Same here. I enjoyed the series and I haven't yet seen season 4 either.

The fact AMC brought back after it was canceled twice, and then Netflix picked it up for a 4th has to say something about it's fan base. Enos was hot IMO lol.

FearTheBeard · Feb 9, 2015

I thought it started a little slow but drew me in by the end. When i first heard they were gonna make this show i didnt think itd be good but i think they did well with the first episode. I enjoy how similar it is to BB so it should be interesting to see what direction they take with it

I can't completely agree with that although AMC has built a great resume starting with BB. Without BB and the help of binger's(<a href="http://www.thefreedictionary.com/binger">binger</a>)
There are a few show's with a great following (HBO), but BB created the new standard and with follow up material you couldn't possibly afford TWD credit for with something built before they were a tink in the cup

Can't believe that Eightball showed up

IrishSteelhead · Feb 9, 2015

I only watched a handful of BB episodes. Will I be completely lost watching this?
