    I thought it would be much more different from Breaking Bad hearing the critics. You still recognize this way of counting a story, this mix of comedy, drama and action which makes me think of Tarantino movies some times. It's a good thing, but it doesn't feel as fresh anymore as when Breaking Bad started. It's still well-written, well-directed, very entertaining.

    Breaking Bad fans will love this adorable spin-off even if that meant their deaths. Alive or dead, you'll love Better Call Saul at the knee of the television.

So I had no desire to watch Better Call Saul until I saw an ad for the new season two days before it started. I decided to see if maybe this show could do for me what Breaking Bad couldn't and wow could it ever! I love the character of Saul (still James McGill) and I was hooked from the first episode and couldn't stop watching. The entire first season was great aside from a few slow points, but overall was very well done. As someone who has never seen past the first half of season 2 of Breaking Bad, I didn't know much about Saul going into this show but now I want to see more of his character as well as Mike. I watched the entire season in a day and managed to get the first episode of season 2 when it aired and was pleased but it did feel a little lacking compared to the first season. But overall this is an amazing series and shouldn't be missed by anyone. Amazing actors playing very interesting characters, a story that keeps you guessing every episode and it's pretty funny as well. An amazing show all around.… Expand

    It's always difficult to do a good spin-off series and with with Better Call Saul,Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould almost do that.
    Darkly comical and brutal-the impressions one gets after watching the very good first two episodes but from then on it's a bit shaky in between.The ending however was good.
    Don't give up on this spin-off yet.

    This prequel was always going to be compared against the iconic Breaking Bad, but this first season maintains the feel of it's predecessor while at the same time establishing it's own identity.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First off... if you aren't already a fan of the parent show, Breaking Bad, then you may not feel much of a connection to this one. You would especially miss the importance of various characters from the BB world making their appearance, and the emotional impact you are expected to feel.

    Overall, this show is Vince Gilligan at his most methodical; the plot is a very slow burn. My SO and I have said several times to each other, throughout season 1, "Wow, I hope they're going somewhere with this...." The story does feel like it meanders like a lazy river.

    Not that this is a bad series. It's actually quite good. Odenkirk's Saul Goodman was possibly my favorite character on Breaking Bad. And once Mike Ehrmantrout makes his appearance, things start to move. In fact, the episode dealing with Mike's backstory is one of the best TV episodes I've ever seen (really).

    I guess where the show isn't connecting with me yet is that the Saul Goodman character is such a slick, fast talking, shady guy with all the wrong connections. I like Jimmy McGill... but I LOVE Saul Goodman. And we don't really get to see Saul in season 1.    … Expand

Bob Odenkirk has a combination of manic, sad, foolish, hilarious charisma that isn't that common to find, and he sets off to nail his dubious character of a broke lawyer turned fraudolent defendant of the crooks.

I found that these personal gripes with the writing and execution to be present in 'Breaking Bad', but I managed to persevere as, broadly, the series was more engaging.

    It may be that Vince Gilligan's work just doesn't quite cut it for me, in 'Better Call Saul' (more than with, but still present in, 'Breaking Bad') I can't shake the feeling of certain parts being contrived and the show carrying an air of pretension.

    However, the acting is solid and cannot be faulted; with Bob Odenkirk really pulling off the multiple dimensions to Jimmy's character. As with the acting, the cinematography and music are brilliant, but this is, in my opinion, to be expected when you're following up one of the biggest TV shows of all time.

    To the show's credit, it makes the series accessible to those who haven't seen 'Breaking Bad'. This being said, those that haven't seen the series may have certain elements of the show and cameos lost on them. I did feel that at one time in particular, a cameo was a cheap way to get people interested and was somewhat shoe-horned into an already meandering and muddled storyline (i.e. 'Oh look who's here! It's this character from 'Breaking Bad' - weren't they great!').

    Would I recommend 'Better Call Saul'? I wouldn't steer people away from the series, but there's much better television out there (i.e. House of Cards, Orange Is The New Black). You need patience for 'Better Call Saul', and you need to be willing to invest the time for not much reward - as I felt the series only just got going in the final episode, but this may set up season 2 well.    … Expand

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
