Originally thought this show would be really dumb, but it's very good ...


This is a pretty good show.

The tension between the two brothers and how Saul's
brother keeps trying to ruin his life.

And then the Mike thread is good too.

Saul is a bit infuriating.

This show is excellent, one of the best on TV imho.

It is so good just on it's own, I agree!

Did you watch "Talking Saul" after? They had the producers (of both breaking bad and saul) and they talked about their original concept for the show. They thought the spin off might just be a straight comedy where Saul has a different client each week, like a guest star, and solves their wacky legal problems.
But then they started going into his back story and it turned into a real drama. How did Jimmy become Saul.
In breaking bad, Saul was a great character but not that deep. You never saw him at home. Now we are getting such depth into both him and Mike. I love the little easter eggs and hints to Breaking Bad, but this show does really stand on it's own too.
I cannot wait for Gus Fring!

I thought this was gonna suck, like most spin offs do.
Now 3 seasons in... I'm enjoying it more than BrBa
