People who love Better Call Saul

Did you love it from when you started to watch it? Because I'm about three quarters of the way through the first episode and I can't be bothered to watch it to the end at the moment. If it hasn't grabbed me yet, will it get more compelling?

I really liked it and it has a few surprises so bear with it!

I don't like the lawyer guy, is it all about him all the time?

Have you seen Breaking Bad, OP? If not, I'd start with that as you'd need to know Saul before getting stuck in.

Bettercallsaul1 · 09/02/2017 20:38

Well, I love it obviously... Grin

ExcuseMyEyebrows · 09/02/2017 20:40

No, it definitely gets better but it's not the roller coaster ride that breaking bad was - it's a slower, more gentle (mostly!) story.

Bettercallsaul1 · 09/02/2017 20:41

Although my NN actually came from Breaking Bad. But BCS is a great series in its own right. It does take a little while to get started but is a great story once you get into it.

HopelesslydevotedtoGu · 09/02/2017 20:41

It grew on me over the first few episodes.
I didn't think much of the first episode, didn't feel invested in Saul's character.
It got much better. The relationship between Saul and his brother is really interesting.

Have you seen Breaking Bad?

HopelesslydevotedtoGu · 09/02/2017 20:43

I'm having a little reminisce about how fantastic Breaking Bad was right now.

SueGeneris · 09/02/2017 20:46

It's very different to BB. I liked it; I don't think DH was so keen. I liked the slow pace. Agree about the brothers relationship. I'd stick with it.

lozengeoflove · 09/02/2017 20:47

Yes, loved it from the first black and white frame Smile

Ah, no, I haven't seen BB. I'll start with that then.

Bear with it. I felt like that to start but love it now.

It really is fantastic. However, the first series is very slow. Stick with it and you'll be rewarded to your persistence towards the middle of series two!

You end up having so much sympathy for Saul. It made me tear up half a dozen times.

Jayfee · 09/02/2017 21:28

where can i watch it??

Bettercallsaul1 · 10/02/2017 09:05

Jayfee Both Breaking Bad (all five seasons) and Better Call Saul (two seasons so far) are on Netflix.

Ledehe · 10/02/2017 09:10

It's really good. Saul is an interesting character and the writing is great.

AnyFucker · 10/02/2017 09:12

I couldn't get into it either

getdownshep · 10/02/2017 20:13

Its brilliant and I am fed up of waiting for series 3 to start!
I love the relationship between Saul and his brother, so many twists in their story.
I do think you need to have watched Breaking Bad first though.

Bettercallsaul1 · 10/02/2017 20:15

I love how characters from BB appear in BCS in an earlier incarnation.

BumWad · 10/02/2017 20:17

Stick with it, it gets better
