This is a very well written series. I've really enjoyed the development of the characters first introduced in Breaking Bad -- Saul and Mike. This promises to be worth following in subsequent years. Season two starts on February 15. So, get going if you want to see this one.

There is a lot of hype regarding Better Call Saul. If you have seen, Erin Brochovich, Then you have seen the premise for this 10 part selection. Don't get me wrong, I was a huge fan of Breaking Bad and I have waited for this to hit DVD.. Needless to say, this is Not Breaking Bad and the show in general was a let down, Seriously. I must say that I too believed the hype (by the production company and spin doctors) and we have all been led to believe that this is the greatest thing to hit television since before and after Breaking Bad. It Is Not. While the main caricature (Jimmy/Saul) is portrayed as the lead up to breaking bad, the story drags at times with many scenes that are just to boring to not fast forward through. BCS misses out on the engaging story, drama, suspense, humor and most importantly, Plot Twists of Breaking Bad. Whether you were a fan of Breaking Bad or Not, this does not live up to it's fore runner, nor to the hype that the promotional ad agency would want you to believe. Save your money now, let the price drop and pick it up at heavily discounted rates in the near future when everybody else has gotten in. It is not worth the premium asking price - unlike it's fore runner the award winning Breaking Bad. Read full review

I loved Saul in Breaking Bad but the back story is fantastic. The creators are taking their time in developing the characters and story and everyone in the household is totally hooked. Saul and Mike are great and the rest of the characters are thoroughly developed as well. Best new show on TV!

If you were a fan of the show Breaking Bad then you will really like this show which is a prequel to Breaking Bad. It shows Saul Goodman's life before Breaking Bad. In this show he is called Jimmy McGill (for some unknown reason) and plays a 2 bit lawyer. He's funny, obnoxious and sad all at once. His office is in the back of a nail salon. Note that you don't need to have watched Breaking Bad to enjoy this. It stands on it's own. But fans of Breaking Bad will recognize some familiar characters such as Tuco Salamanca, and Mike Ehrmantraut. There are also some good new characters such as Jimmy's brother, Chuck McGill, who is also a lawyer. He has a strange condition which keeps him indoors and away from any light, and away from anything like a cell phone which emits electronic waves. I would not say this show is as good as Breaking Bad, but it is still very good and worth your time.Read full review

This story centers around the Saul Goodman character from Breaking Bad before Breaking Bad and as a new attorney. some of the familiar characters from Breaking Bad are here including Tuco and the Mike character played by Johnathan Banks. Johnathon Banks can carry a whole scene and leave you stunned at the end by the portrayals. Vince Gilligan's style shows through just as in Breaking Bad with unexpected twists and skewed humor. All in all well worth watching, and I have ordered season two.

Great blend of comedic and sinister, light and dark, personal and criminal and with a continually cliff-hanging suspense as each twist gives way to each turn - Great characters, great pace, great cinematography - C'mon! Is this good or what?

I have been watching Season 6, and needed a refresher on the beginning. With the covid break it has been awhile since this aired on tv. Is as good as I remembered, one of my favorite series of all time. Wish there were more.
