Don't know if I want to drop the cautious from my cautious optimism yet

I watched the pilot. Yes, pilots are not always the best representation of what a TV show may become over the course of the first season or the series, but I wasn't that into it. My biggest concern about it - aside from it being a spin-off almost assuredly doomed to live in the shadow of the main series - is that Saul seems much more suited as a secondary character than the lead of a series. And as much as I love Odenkirk's body of work, I just can't see him as a leading man. That was my main concern going and probably why I felt so bored by the pilot. But I'll give it a few more episodes before I make any final conclusions. :yeshrug

Post by: archie4208 on February 11, 2015, 08:11:58 PM: I'm kinda eh on it right now (just seen the first episode). Seems like a lot of it was, "hey remember those things from Breaking Bad? Sure you do :^)"

Post by: dkdk on February 11, 2015, 08:22:47 PM: unbridled optimism over here brehs. watching saul in full effect is good stuff.

Post by: Reb on February 12, 2015, 02:39:55 AM: Love the first two episodes. Good vibe, you can see the pieces moving into place.
I also love Bob Odenkirk, so that helps.

Title: Re: No Better Caul Saul thread?
Post by: Dickie Dee on February 12, 2015, 04:57:53 PM: Think I'm on board now (halfway through ep2).

I was never cynical enough to think Gilligan & Co. were doing this just to milk the property, but I still didn't really know why they wanted to make this show.
Title: Re: No Better Caul Saul thread?
Post by: CatsCatsCats on February 12, 2015, 10:12:45 PM: Sweet, we're all into it, should be interesting when it starts getting ridiculous or terrible

There's a lot more backstory to know about pretty much everything in breaking bad and all of it went through Saul, who is an interesting character in himself.

I was a little worried it would dawdle on pre-cartel stuff, but it seems like they're getting right to it. Shit will ramp up quickly. or not. i dunno.

Post by: Sausage on February 13, 2015, 02:06:23 AM: First two episodes were pretty strong. Didn't really like the idea at first, but I'm sold now.

Post by: toku on February 13, 2015, 02:09:29 AM: The break scene in episode two
:whoo
Love the slow pan up and away to focus on Saul. This was also the moment when I knew I was totally on board.
Title: Re: No Better Caul Saul thread?
Post by: huckleberry on February 13, 2015, 08:07:54 AM: 1st episode was kinda meh but the 2nd one was awesome. Rewatched the 1st one and realized it was actually good too.

I love the whole Breaking Bad universe. The people behind this show (and BB) really know how to make engrossing television.

:lol i just noticed that rack in the tent scene

3rd episode was okay. I liked the action, the acting is a little off, maybe?

Post by: mormapope on February 17, 2015, 08:12:58 PM: Watched the first two episodes.

Fist half of episode 1 had one really good high

Saul defending the kids that fuck dead people

,
but the rest of the half fell flat. The second half of episode 1 is fantastic. Really fast paced and the perfect amount of tension/levity.

Episode 2 is really good throughout. Reminded me early episodes of Breaking Bad that are still frantic and dire, but not over the top on a grand scale.

Post by: Vertigo on February 24, 2015, 05:24:35 AM: Wifey forced my hand and so we watched the episodes that were already up.

And I quite like it. Less focus on an idiot like Walter White immediately makes this show more interesting to me. Walt started off so interesting but morphed into a very geeky white male power fantasy halfway through.

From what they've setup so far Saul is interesting. For what was a side character.

He's not an idiot, he just did what he needed for his family. Skylar's more evil than all the characters combined. what a bitch she's just like my mom when she yells at me to stop playing senran kagura. i'm 39, I can make my own decisions :maf

Post by: BobFromPikeCreek on February 25, 2015, 12:14:58 AM: Can't wait to see what this all culminates in. They have so many little threads and characters established and dangling. The Kettlemans, the Cartel, Hamlin & co, Chuck. It's great to be back in this world.

Is that the polish title of BB?

Post by: Vertigo on March 23, 2015, 04:26:04 AM: Been loving this show so far, but the last two episodes have been stellar.

Mike is hands down the best character in that universe.
