Just watched it....absolutely loved it.

 

Looks like AMC has yet another hit.

 

If you missed it you can stream the pilot episode on Amazon for free.

I thought the first episode was good, but nothing great.  

[Adam]

Loved the opening sequence. Well done!

 

Looks like it will be less slapstick than I feared. I'm pumped. 

[Brandon]

Potential.

Although, I'm still worried the show is going to just be Breaking Bad nostalgia and guest appearances.

[yk9001]

Yeah, the cameos by two ex BBers seems a tad gimmicky to me.

[Angel Dog and Beer]

Isn't Mike going to be a regular on the new show? I thought I read/heard that he was.

 

Overall, I thought it was good, not great. I'll definitely tune in to see how it develops. 

[Brandon]

I think so. His name was second on the opening credits, so I'd assume he is a reg.

[DW711]

I saw Mike was in 10 episodes (out of 11).

 

It's a prequel, so you kind of have to have other breaking bad characters.

[Taylor]

I thought it was really good. Loved seeing Tuco at the end. Also, the opening was cool.

[Tank]

tried to watch it last night but was gone and didn't get the dvr set. will look for a repeat this week sometime.

 

since i never watched breaking bad, will that affect my ability to enjoy or understand saul?

I'm in the same boat as you are.  I thought it was a strange show.  It definitely has potential.

It should air again tonight. It is a two night premiere, the 2nd episode being aired tonight. I'd imagine that they'll show the first one again tonight too.

I think you'll still be able to understand the show, but I think you would enjoy it more knowing who some of these characters are.

 

If it was me, I would watch BB first.

DW711, Might want to put a **spoiler warning** on the thread title

I had sudden urge to scream  "Tight,Tight, Tight"

amc has re-runs all the time. They're showing the first episode again (probably 4-5 times) tonight.

 

I'd dvr all the episodes and watch them after watching 70 episodes of breaking bad!

[Tank]

yeah, i'm not watching all 70 episodes of breaking bad first.

 

i'll give it a look tonight.

This is my plan. I'm going to finish season 4 of Game of Thrones and Then all of the Downton Abbey series first though.

 

See you guys in a couple months.

try to get that all done by opening day!

[DW711]

it's one of a small handful of shows that were almost impossible for me to stop watching when i started.

 

i didn't get into BB until after season 3 was over, and i ran though the first 3 seasons in no time.  i actually just waited until all of season 4 and then all of season 5.1 and 5.2 were done with their first runs before watching them.  i didn't want to wait. 

 

if you end up not liking better call saul, you should still give BB a chance.  i can't imagine call saul being good, but that's just me. 

 

so you couldnt talk to anyone about the show for 2 years?

[DB24]

Best line so far.

 

 "You're the worst lawyer ever!"

"I just talked you down from a death sentence to six months probation. I'm the best lawyer ever." 

 

 

[Brandon]

I still don't know what the show is about.

Tucco, who is one of the worst characters ever, goes on a tangent for a third of the show, then we see his brother who is some nut without electricity and a space blanket for a third, then a montage of clients, court cases, and coffee for the final third.

[NrM]

I thought the show would be some stupid comedy... I was wrong.

Great first 2 episodes.
