I've really been digging this show. Personally, I like it more than BREAKING BAD. I always felt BAD was a tad overrated. The Saul character was always my favorite of that series and I'm glad he's got his own show and seems to be holding his own.
I don't like it as much as BB, but I think it's one of the best shows currently on TV. (Up there with Games of Thrones and Westworld) I like how this show contrasts to Breaking Bad. BB was more fast paced and super intense while Saul is a well deserved slow burn.
Saul is the least interesting person on the show. Giancarlo Esposito is great as Gus, as are the other gang members. Saul's girlfriend is interesting but puts up with too much from him. He was so great and funny on Breaking Bad, but he can't carry a show.
I love seeing all the back stories of how it all came together.
I do too, I like the way they show how he put together his people and how he started the office. I do not get how Kim stays with him. The actress who plays her does a good job, but their scenes slow down the show. Bob Odinkirk is not much of an actor, so that does not help. He does the Saul gimmicky stuff well, yet he's terrible in scenes where he has to be serious.

I am. I'm both looking forward and dreading next week's episode. Looking forward to it to see how they're gonna end this season. Dreading it because I know it won't be back on for another year.
Mhmm. The cracks in their relationship are starting to show. I was wondering now that Kim is down for Jimmy's tricks to get clients off, what her breaking point was going to be. Maybe it'll be Jimmy just pushing her away.
