Always give shows a 4 episode chance. I find they really don't get good till that episode. If I'm still not interested I bail.

I had the same issue with that stupid Netflix series, "Sense8" a while back.  An episode or 2 into it and I was wondering "WTF is even the point of this show?"  So I turned it off and haven't ever watched it again.  Maybe you could call my problem T.V.A.D.D.

But Better Call Saul shows enough glimpses of brilliance along with excellent writing and acting that it's a definite keeper.

Nope. I am very bad at working technology and become increasingly frustrated with trying to work it. Anything more than turning on a tv or cell phone, I stay away from.

Plus, a DVR wouldn't matter because both are on either Netflix or Amazon Prime, so I could conceivably watch both.

True, so what's stopping you? No time?

I watched the whole first season of Sense8. The ONLY reason was that my brother INSISTED it was incredible once you got into it. He was wrong. I was beyond done by episode 4.

Try the 3%. Best show on Netflix right now. Whether you use the subtitles or the English version.

So last night I finally saw the "Squat Cobbler" episode.  I watched it all alone at home and laughed my ass off, until my stomach hurt.  That was comedy gold.

I prefer to watch one show at a time.

So I'm about to the end of S1:E2 and this show is a little slow-paced and I'm wondering if I want to keep watching it.  Is it worth more of my time?

Any fans of this show?
Its a great show and all, but part of me thinks if it wasnt because of Breaking Bad, i wouldn't have liked it as much.

Yes BB started at the same pace, but it was an original concept, so it made it worth it to watch it up to mid season 2 where teh action took off.

With BCS, i feel season 1 was a complete "waste" in a sense that they just tried to build up all the characters, and at least to me, if it wasnt because of BB, i wouldnt have wanted an entire season dedicated to backgrounds about these characters without much plot. But with season 2 and 3, the pace does pick up.

My advice is stick with it

He’s the best part of breaking bad and Saul.

SPOILER ALERT

Notice the irony after the cartel threatened Mike's granddaughter?  Mike has his granddaughter help him poke holes through the garden hose he would eventually use to rip off the cartel...LOL.   ;D
