I'm waiting for DH to get back from a parish council meeting before we indulge ourselves.

Just about to watch it.

I'm loving it already .... Tuesdays will be the best day of the week

I love it already!

Ok .. That is a keeper!

Love the skateboarding twins (the Jesse sidekick of this show?)

Thought it was great.

A very solid first ep. I got a bit confused about Chuck. I get he's Jimmy's brother but what's his story? Loved Mike and Tuco.

Loved it too. But I'm missing something important.. Why is he called Jimmy?

Yes, enjoyed that a lot.

Is Chuck his brother? Seems kind of old, I mean, he could be a brother, still...or an uncle perhaps?

Skills Jimmy is his real name. There was some mention in Breaking Bad about Saul Goodman being a name he made up for himself.

(What was the prologue about? Is that him after the events of Breaking Bad?)

Chocbic you can watch it here

Just watched. Loved it. Can't wait for the next installment. Also as a pp said, the skateboarding twins did remind me of jesse, bitch. Loved the very end. You can see the beginnings of 'saul' and the seedy path. I hoped it wouldn't disappoint cos breaking bad was THE best. But it did not.

Bloody marvellous. Loved it.

Professor - yes, I think the prologue was the 'present'. He talked about ending up managing a Cinnabon (looked nice!). And he was obviously worried about being recognised.

Definitely the present Professor. They focussed very much on the hair, or lack of it, in the present. Albeit, his watching a video threw me a bit.

It does seem to be shaping up into something good but watching it week on week rather than binge-viewing like BB is going to be hard.

I really enjoyed it. Was the man at the end in Breaking Bad?

Yes satsuma this is how he met and got involved with Tucco!

Thanks Professor. Don't know how I missed that one!

It's so long since I've seen BB I couldn't remember who was who.

So far it's a very similar storyline to the first episode offered BB:

Man is cheated out of wealth
Plies his trade but is faced with financial ruin
Joins up with a younger sidekick(s) to pursue an illegal version of his trade.
Is immediately in out of his depth with a dangerous drug dealer.

Still loved it though!

I loved it. I loved the setting as much as what went on. There's nothing like that scenery is there? And the way it's filmed is stunning - the bin kicking and smoking scene was gorgeous to look at.

I hated Tuco, so after the initial OMG moment I'm pissed off that he may feature heavily. Awesome to see Mike again though

Was anyone else wondering what Walter and Jesse would have been doing at that time? I can see myself staring into every passing car trying to catch a sneaky cameo!

It's very well shot. The light is incredible - eg smoking scene.

wow, that's great news. I will be finished the rubbish I'm watching soon so llgood to know that Call Saul is on netflix!

you don;t surely have to watch it week by week? can you save up the episodes for binging?

Episode 2 is now on Netflix. But after that it's one a week I'm afraid!

... And a cracking episode it was!
