US: Better Call Saul

I think the subtle details of the show are lost on you.

Mike is trying to not cross too far over the line - very much like WW in Breaking Bad. He has been trying to get the money he needs for his family(sound familiar?) without getting blood on his hands. That all came crashing down when he heard that a good samaritan was shot as a direct result of Mikes actions. No amount of washing will fix this problem.

The show isn't trying to be BB - even if both Saul and Mike are both 'breaking bad' in there own way. TBH I wasn't crazy about the show and its pacing(probably because I was expecting BB2) but I have really warmed to it.

I understand that ... But the point is made but then outstaying its welcome ... I get it ... It's like they are trying to spell too much out and it's frustrating to watch...

I'm really enjoying Better Call Saul. No, it's not breaking bad, but I don't think it is supposed to be. It's an intriguing slow burn of a series. Far better than most of the junk out there anyway.

if it isn't for you stop watching it, you don't sound like you are enjoying it much. it's not like there aren't other tv shows out there. i am loving it though and the development of the characters and their stories are fab :) can't wait to see what happens next.

in some ways i even prefer it to BB.

I don't give in so easily I'm afraid. I'll stick with it for a while longer yet.
 
I like it's slowness, some shows that slow story telling can put me off.. like Bloodline and Damages, although i eventually went back and watched Damages through. It's the only reason i still have my netflix sub active at the moment.

I already know where he's headed so i don't mind him taking his time getting there.

I'm not saying I disagree and very likely I'm just being pedantic, but I don't think it's for you to state how good a show is. I assume you mean to say ' For me it's just OK...Nothing more.'

For me it's mainly 'just OK', but I can understand why others would enjoy it more.

For me, with cherries on top Its obvious that BCS is just OK...Nothing more. :p

I don't really see what this is supposed to prove. Other people like something you don't like, which is what is happening with BCS. Doesn't mean anyone is wrong... everyone has differing opinions.

It wasn't meant to prove anything it was just a bit of fun in response to haz_pro's post...

Easyrider thinks he's OCUK's Mark Kermode when it comes to films/TV and I take no notice of critics because they always talk a load of letterbox poo.
