    Love this show, even more so than Breaking Bad in fact. Thanks for the heads up!

    Quick heads up!

    I rewatched the previous season last week and now I'm ready to go: over here on Netflix starting today.

    I've seen the episode. Indeed, worth rewatching series 4 first. It picks up exactly where the series 4 ended.

    Without spoiling anything: a not-so-clear dialogue (and perhaps an insignificant one) in Breaking Bad is rejuvinated in Better Call Saul.

    Can't wait. I was pondering the significance of the cinnabon guy in opening sequences, so I googled it!

    That gets pretty interesting as well! One could easily argue that there's a 'post BB' series possible as well!

    Meanwhile, NYTimes hailed this week's episode as 'The best season premiere of the series'

    Enjoyed that. I was rather puzzled that there was no 'Gene' sequence at the beginning of the episode, until I noticed I was watching S1 E05. D'Oh!

    Is it really any good? I used to love Breaking Bad, but I´m kind of pessimist about these spin offs.

    It's definitely worth watching. I felt the same, and didn't think BB could be bettered, particularly with who the central character was as I didn't bond with him in BB and saw him mostly as an annoying distraction.
    I think BCS is better than BB in some ways.

    Yes it is. It's on the same level. It works best when you 'binge watch' the previous seasons. Like BB, some episodes are rather slow, but later on, you'll get the point that in those 'slow' episodes a lot is set off to become an 'avalanche' in later episodes. E.g., in season one, a certain Tuco Salamanca has a short appearance. We haven't seen him since, but I'm pretty sure that he will turn up again in this season now his uncle Hector's health is similar to what we've seen in BB.

    Like the BB episodes, it's important to observe the transformation of a man from being mail room employee into 'Saul'. Again, like in BB, the main character's clothing choice and colours play an important role in that!

    I've just finished watching episode 2 AND 3. Both came out today. Especially episode 3 will is a special one in the Breaking Bad timeline!

    Came to post that about episode 3. Once again, the best thing on television imho. I know a few people who gave up after the first couple of seasons, yet for the life of me I can’t figure out why. I rate BCS above BB, and it’s not close.

    Agree with the above. Best show on the airways bar none!

    I'm enjoying it immensely, though it does feel a bit like a show of two halves; BB back story and Jimmy/Saul.

    Great to see Hank make an appearance in Ep3

    I’ve only just started on this. The advantage of ignoring all seasons now mean I’m completely hooked and plan to watch back to back until my eyes are bleeding.

    Excellent show. Very pleased I found it.

    Thanks for that! I've started listening for 10 mins or so. I will listen to the remaining part + other podcasts during a boring road-trip tomorrow.
