    I can't understand why this show is rated so high, It has great production values and the actors are very professional, but it has no verve, no energy, no pulse. In short, boring and tedious...

    Waited a year for season 3 and its still painfully SLOW. The first two seasons could've been achieved in two shows. Unrelated sequencing, slow to no story. Very disappointing. I've official stopped watching.

    As a fan of Breaking Bad, I can't recommend this show. As a fan of television and film in general, I still couldn't recommend it. Despite having a great cast, colorful characters, well-shot scenes and some naturally flowing dialogue, this show falls flat. Why? To be quite honest, simply nothing of interest happens. We see Saul as Jimmy McGill, doing lawyer stuff, paperwork, and most oftenAs a fan of Breaking Bad, I can't recommend this show.

Despite having a great cast, colorful characters, well-shot scenes and some naturally flowing dialogue, this show falls flat. Why? To be quite honest, simply nothing of interest happens. We see Saul as Jimmy McGill, doing lawyer stuff, paperwork, and most often playing bingo with old people. I can't tell you what the plot is besides this, because there is none. There's no goal, no progress, no motivation. The show doesn't even have a clear antagonist or obstacle. Eight episodes in and no overarching plot has developed, just a series of individual problems that are solved by the end of the episode's self-contained story. There's only two episodes left and still nothing is at stake. There's no reason for me to root for Jimmy, to be concerned for him, to fear for him. There's no urge to see what happens, because NOTHING is happening. It's a shame to see such potential be wasted.… Expand

    if you are thinking about starting this show... don't. Every story line is boring, long, and drawn out and the characters are not interesting. Trying to cash in on breaking bad and doing it poorly.

    The ball of manic, depressed, negative energy that is Jimmy is a perfect match for Odenkirk’s comedic (and newfound dramatic) chops, as he lends plenty of pathos to this mesmeric loser with a heart of fool’s gold. He’s not Saul Goodman just yet, but the journey there should be a bumpy, thrilling ride.

    Odenkirk is a gifted comic actor, and the sadness in his eyes hints that he can fill in more dimensions to Jimmy McGill as time goes on. But the first two episodes of Better Call Saul take their own sweet time setting things up.

    Better Call Saul has its own tone--it's a different, unique creation.
