Better Call Saul
I know the debut was like the highest rated debut ever or something like that. I can't remember the exact wording but it was a big deal and it sounds like the ratings have been pretty good overall.Last edited by Yeah...THAT Guy; 04-05-2015, 08:16 PM.NFL: Bills

Re: Better Call Saul
The ratings have been about a 2.5 which is better than Breaking Bad ever was (usually a 1.5) until people started caring in season 5 (when it was consistently in the 5s during the second half of season 5).

Re: Better Call Saul
Episode ruled. Whole season ruled. Show just flat out rules.
I absolutely loved the nod to Breaking Bad this week...
SpoilerI remember on Breaking Bad, he once said that he tricked a woman into believing he was Kevin Costner just so he could sleep with her. Turns out he wasn't joking!Comment

Re: Better Call Saul
I found the ending of the episode a bit rushed and awkward. A lot of the episode was too on the head. A lot of exposition, a lot of Jimmy talking as if the audience needed their hands held.
It was written by Peter Gould so I'll assume it's his writing style.
Saying that, I still loved the episode. I loved how different it was from the rest of the season. It definitely gravitated toward giving us a look into Jimmy's past and putting us in the front seat of the ensuing crash between his past and new direction.
His acknowledgment, "I know what stopped me and I won't let it stop me again," is more of the same in the episodes's direct dialogue, but the only phrase that hits home with the Breaking Bad audience.
I do feel that anyone watching the show without having seen Breaking Bad is missing a lot of information that is assumed for the audience. Is the opening of the first episode enough information for a new viewer to gather what Jimmy becomes? Isn't the ending of the episode only a nod to an audience that knows and a nauseating open-ended cliffhanger for a less-informed viewer?
Other than that, it was a great season. It paid lip-service to the long-time fans. I just wish it did more for the new ones."It may well be that we spectators, who are not divinely gifted as athletes, are the only ones able to truly see, articulate and animate the experience of the gift we are denied.

Re: Better Call Saul
I started watching this before ever seeing a single Breaking Bad episode (Just finished season 1 of BB today) and I could not love this show more than I do. In fact, comparing season 1 of Breaking Bad to Better Call Saul, Saul is MUCH more enjoyable to me.
I have heard season 2 of Breaking Bad is better though.Comment

BB just gets better and better, it would be hard for Saul to top it since BB is the pinnacle of TV
