The spin off breaking bad are you watching it?

Saw the first episode. It looks very promising. Those two skateboarders are funny characters. It looks good.

It was better than I thought it would be too. I liked the line in the coffee shop when he met with the husband and wife "It's getting arrested that makes you look guilty lol. The next episode is on tonight. Can't wait

I think the two skate boarders are dead.

Tuco is not the kind of guy who will let them walk away.

I think you're right Footreads. Saul is a great character.

Yep I think Tuco killed them too. I watched it last night as well and enjoyed seeing all the familiar faces. Just wait, we still get to see Gus, Jesse, and even Walt eventually.

I think this show could be great. Not as good as BB mind you, but it will be good for sure.

You know they could bring back one of my favorites Krazy 8 who's father had the furniture store.

Better Call Saul really reminds me of clerking at a court in the midwest. Some of the PDs the country would hire are just perfect Sauls- poor, cheap and barely making it.

This new episode on now is hesterical, he is negotiating for their lives and settles on injuries for punishment.

I shut it after that not realistic.

who cares its entertaining. Breaking Bad wasnt always realistic.

Yea he breaks their legs because of what they did to his grand mother. But let's the lawyer go who planned it.

Now those 2 kids will not rat the guy out that did it and they won't rate him out for planning it.

Tuco evident was not use meth he was not paranoid in those days

Thought it was great beginning loved him working at Cinnabon and then seeing mike at the parking kiosk validating parking... the character saul is a tv legend and cant wait how this turns out and how he gets the name saul

I thought it was amazing, sure it's a tad lower than Breaking Bad quality-wise, but that's to be expected.

Tuco was ALWAYS a crazy, unpredictable psycho-lunatic (as Jesse called him) plus he was very affectionate with his family like with Hector, so it's not really that out of character of him.
I dunno how you can just shut if off for not being realistic, maybe it just isn't your cup of tea, but I really enjoyed it.

Gonna watch it regularly, especially since I was a huge fan of BrBa and Vince Gilligan who I believe is a genius just like David Chase of the Sopranos.

Looks like Saul or "Slipping Jimmy" lol is going to catch a beating from Mike in the upcoming episode that should be interesting. Without the violence I think it would be a mediocre show. The violence makes it that much better.

Exactly. IMO as much as i loved Breaking Bad 90% of it was unrealistic as well but i didnt care. All i care abut it watching a good story and being entertained

Is this show supposed to be the prequel to breaking bad? I've only watch the first episode of season 1 of breaking bad and now I'm wondering if I should hold off on watching breaking bad and watching Better Call Saul before going forward with Breaking Bad.

How cool is that! I think that would be a good way to go since you will be starting with a clean slate. All of us watching have our opinions of these characters already.
Then when it's time for you to watch BB you may be that much MORE informed. You will have a deeper understanding of the characters than any of us ever could. Breaking Bad will not disappoint you; its a great show. I hope this show is just as good.

Ha ya good for you!!! You might have to wait 5 years to crank up breaking bad though because just from the start better call saul looks like it is going to be a lasting hit

just saw the 1st and 2nd episode

cant wait for next week, nice to see tuco and all back

Have you been watching it? Who watched last night's episode? I don't want to spoil anything for the latecomers to the party so I will wait to discuss but this show is really getting EVEN better.

It's an amazing show. I can't wait to see what the producers got up their sleeves.

Were you surprised about Mike's story? And how he handled that one situation taking care of business without them being the slightest bit aware of what he was up to.

Well, to a certain extent I was surprised. Obviously, we all knew Mike had some skeletons in his closet. However, that particular situation was very surprising. The way he handled it, though, that's the Mike we know. He knew everything the cops were going to do and he knew how to play his role perfectly.


As for the people who mentioned Walt and Jesse being shown... I don't think so. Remember, in BB Walt and Jesse just meet Saul, they don't know him. Saul will probably hear about "Heisenberg" and blue meth. If the producers would be up to it, maybe they'll re-shoot some early scenes through Saul's perspective. However, that would be too much of a pain in the ass, as they'd have to get every detail right.


Finally... Am I the only one who wishes to see more of the cartel in the show? Remember how, when Jesse and Walt took Saul to the desert, Saul said something in the lines of: "Tell Don Eladio I'm sorry. It won't happen again!" I, for one, want details on that!

Yes, agree, even better than I thought it would be.



Should be interesting where the story line goes with his brother also.



Loved it.



I wanna see the cartel also, all good story line.

Great program

Yes, I want to see more of the cartel and Mike and the brother electrocute himself or blow himself and his house up. Go out with a real BANG lol.

I get bored with the brother. Watching him is almost as bad as listening to Margaret speak in Boardwalk Empire. I just want it to STOP!!

Very true. What surprised me too was he confided in the daughter-in-law. Seemed a bit out of character to tell her so much. I was not expecting that at all.

Well, even the toughest of the tough guys have to break down. Mike was obviously ashamed that his son was so much better than him, yet his wife accused him of being dirty. There was no other way to prove her wrong other than telling her to truth.

The truth will get you killed or in jail. All the cops had to do is tell her tell the truth or your going to jail and your daughter will go to foster care and she will spill her guts.

Partners and witnesses he is in trouble if it was real.

If the show goes into that time frame at all they have to show Walt and Jesse. Remember when Badger was arrested? That is what started everything in their partnership with Saul. Walt went to pay for Saul and they started talking. So no, they more than knew Saul after that because he partnered with Walt eventually and I think he was the one that teamed Walt up with Gus as well. If they even go near current day Saul they will have to show Walt and Jesse.
