>>68172000
Yeah it's definitely worth watching the series now.
After some filler, the show is finally reaching BB tier.
>>
>>68172000
its slower than BB but still a great show in its own right

That was just in the early phases of planning the show. It has been a drama from the beginning.
>>
>>68171619
that's how it's supposed to be.
and that's how it ways until 15 to 20 years ago. since then shows have to find their tune in the first two eps or POOF they're gone.

pffffff what?

season 1 was pure dog shit. Other than the crazy 8 basement scene I skip every episode.

This,

I was expecting a funny spin off show with Saul Goodman working as a donuts shop owner under a different alias after he fled from town.

Boy was I mistaken.

BB had really high moments of comedy because they were juxtaposed with extremes of tension and drama. The humor is more memorable for the contrast. In BCS there's just not high enough tension/danger/stakes for the contrast to be as strong. Plus the show is bland and boring as fuck, which doesn't help.
>>
>>68171619
Breaking bad was fine but so fucking slow in season 1 (episode 5) but better call Saul had a better first season and an equal second season in my opinion

I like the show as it is but it would have been better with more of a comedy focus.

>just not high enough tension/danger/stakes for the contrast to be as strong

Incorrect. BCS is full of dangerous moments such as Jimmy's boss reacting to Jimmy's crazy new suits or whether Jimmy would get his old car back or not.

I have about as much respect for better call saul as I do for the dogshit on my shoe. It is reddit. It is video game hotpocket. It is capeshit. It is cheeto dust. I'm literally screaming right now and slamming my arms down on my desk just thinking about it.


It is the most depraved video game infantilized manchild degeneracy. It is saturday morning cartoon. It is non-neurotypicality. It is memes. It is video game. It is tarantino. It is imdb.

>>68175649
Rectify and The Leftovers are really, really good, but so is Better Call Saul. In fact, I think Rectify and BCS have a very similar feel when it comes to pacing.
>>
>>68183438
Oh damn I forgot about that. I mean what if Jimmy had to go home and change for more reasonable clothes? That would be more tense than the gus fring boxcutter scene.
>>
>Mike has enough time to blow a trucks tires, tie up the driver and saw all the wheels before anyone comes

They really should've included some forced drama desu

>>68183618

>reddit the post
>>
>>68183773
I thought about that too, but it was in the middle of the desert.
>>
>>68183773
I thought there was plenty of tension in that quick cut of the driver looking at his car. This is totally sold well when Nacho warns him and then goes to pick up the driver.

Mike is FUCKED
>>
>>68183958
Mike doesn't drive a blue car.

The blue car owner is fucked.
>>
It's fucking garbage, honestly. I stopped watching on the scene where Saul had to explain to a mexican druglord why he should only break the skaters' legs.

I get it he's stupid and the protag managed to talk him out of it, why the fuck this scene was going on for so long.

Every scene and joke in this show goes on and spoonfed in context until it looses all meaning
>>
>>68183958
I hope Mike doesn't die I like him

Surprised you had enough attention span to post those four sentences here.

for those who hate the grind of the show in general, I'd at least recommend the episode where it shows what happened with mike in philly as supplemental BB scene

The driver guy saw Mike's car and he gonna use it to identify Mike and then Mike and the mexican wheelchair are gonna face off at the end of season 3 and wheelchair gonna get paralyzed.
>>
>>68172321
lol fuck off. The first 2 seasons on BB are the only good ones. The rest of it is contrived trash
>>
it's fucking terrible, and here's why

in the first EPISODE of breaking bad, walter white goes from being a mild mannered high school teacher, to, half dressed in the desert, TRYING TO SHOOT HIMSELF IN THE HEAD WITH A 9MM - and fortunately he fails, because those sirens were fire engines, not police cars.

there are countless episodes like that, and the episodes that weren't (fly), stood on their own for other reasons.

BSC is about lawyers. It doesn't need guns, explosions and murder, but that doesn't mean nothing should fucking happen. Look at House of Cards: It's all dialogue and very little action per se, but the plot progresses a lot within episode.

>>
>>68186681
The only plebian opinion is from people who think a show is good if it doesn't have explosions. The only reason this show is popular is because it rides off the pleb hype of BB

You are objectively a pleb if you do this. It doesn't matter what show it is. If you're going to list its faults, don't be an ADHD riddled pleb.

thank you

i still watch it like the cuck that i am, hoping for things to get better... but they aren't

and kim is fucking terrible. the scenes in which she explains to saul that she got mesa verde, and then lost them, and then got them again are all palpable cringe
>>
>>68187482
yeah he's the best

it's a shame he has to die at some point during the course of bcs

seems like hector will be his end
>>
>>68188348

Not necessarily. I'm pretty sure Nacho is the Ignacio Saul mentions in S2 of BrBa.
