It does start slow but ramps up as the show progresses.
It’s really a legal drama. I think a lot of people went into it expecting it to be a sort of comedy.

I think it developed, I would not say miles better. The original BB story created characters that lead to the development. In the that string of events and with Saul as a main character it proved better.

One doesn't follow the other. Apart from the protagonist there are no real links until the later seasons. Its a prequel and is based around the development of one character. Sounds like you wanted a continuation of Breaking Bad, which by definition it isn't. Its about different people who just happen to meet. Just enjoy it for what it is, which is brilliant telly.Your opinion.
Breaking Bad was 10/10
BCS is a generous 6/10 for me but I'll stick with it.
I've long had a barometer of people, 'The Better Call Saul Test'.
Those who don't get it and want it to be something else are, in my view, vacuous

The Chestnut Man is very good.
Still haven't finished Better Call Saul and Ozar S4. Just isn't enough time to binge them

Moon night was a 6.8/10 for me very watchable also irritating in parts.
Yeah, I can understand that.
It does make me wonder if people watch these things with the view that the 'superhero' will be the main factor, when any TV and film depiction has always shown there's a need to dialogue cos SFX is super expensive!
Not saying you're saying that, Waspish, but it's something I've picked up on when people think some of these shows are 'dull/ rubbish'.

It’s a story about the character journey not the super hero for me, maybe rewatch it the character won’t be so irritating because I know why now.
Only 7 episodes? I hope they're all 2 hours long.
So the final episode is a 2.5 hr marathon? Wow if that’s right, can’t wait for this.

I was thinking the same, seems a strange trailer and not one to grab your attention.Just saw Skys advert for their upcoming adaptaion of The Midwich Cuckoos.

One point in the book was every child was identical, from the trailer one main aspect has been completely erased.

A few years back I dropped a trailer for 'Love, Death and Robots' and although I tried to watch the show. I couldn't get my head around it, so foxxed it off, probably thinking it wouldn't get renewed.
It's, now, back for series 3, so I revisited the first series.
WOW!!!! Some of those stories you want more of and can see films being adapted form!
Stunning stuff, these short stories!

Haven't got around to watching season 3 yet but loved a lot of what was included in the first two. I think most of the tales have been developed from short stories from some great SF authors. Animation styles vary thoughout as well as the tone of each episode so if anyone thinks this may be of interest then be warned. Don't ewxpect too much consistency.A few years back I dropped a trailer for 'Love, Death and Robots' and although I tried to watch the show.

Yes the Sopranos is my favourite of all time it had everything that show endlessly rewatchable!Everyone’s opinion differs of course but I didn’t find Breaking Bad anywhere near a 10/10 show.
The Wire or the Sopranos, those are 10/10 shows.
Breaking Bad is several rungs below…again just my opinion…
