I'm definitely enjoying the show. I constantly amazes me that the plot doesn't really have to move along at all for the episodes to be enjoyable. They just have well written characters that are likable in their own ways. Thankfully there's no character like Skyler who is just unlikable and annoying. She was the one big negative in Breaking Bad for me.



I'll second that notion. I won't blame the actress because I think the character was just written poorly. To be fair though, I really don't know how you would write that character well. I don't think it would have been any better if they ended up making her based off of Carmella Soprano after she found out about everything.

Actually... I think that's kind of when her character took off. When she did find out and tentatively dipped her own toes in those murky waters. She'd never went full blown Carmella though because she wasn't born into that lifestyle and it wouldn't have been believable. Even if she reveled in it, she would have made a lot of mistakes that Carmella would have known better. Instead of being an asset by being in on it, her knowledge became a huge liability.

Better Call Saul is one of the few good shows out there right now. Amazing storytelling. Possibly even better than Breaking Bad. It would have to be to keep your interest when you already know what is going to happen to all of the characters. It kind of does perfectly what the Star Wars prequels wish they could have done.

I will get back into BCS some day.

Do Right, Be Right. :)
