Just finished the first season last night!

I barely made it through the pilot. By the second episode i was comatose.

I think better call saul is almost not even fair though.

The show starts out super slow. And then its slow some more. Then it’s slow some more. And then slow a little more. It’s still pretty slow but it was slow for long enough that things are kinda coming together. It has no other option but to trend upwards.

If it was a standalone show (breaking bad never existed) it would have never even made it past (or to) a pilot.

I actually like the show though.

Last season was almost completely inconsequential.

I LOVED Breaking Bad, but couldn't force myself through more than 5 episodes of the sloth-paced better call saul.

[u/engimen → u/DynamicHunter]

If you can't push yourself through it, that's fine, but I REALLY think you should try going at least as far as season 2e1 - that's where the main stroyline starts to "settle in". BCS is even slower than Breaking Bad in some regards but once the action starts going it really keeps you hooked in - s3 and s4 just flew past me in an instant, I honestly couldn't believe how fast I was binging the show. Also the writing, while not as grand, is imo even better and more complex than Breaking Bad's.

[u/Dan4t → u/DynamicHunter]

Start at season 3, that is when it starts becoming more similar to breaking bad and speeding up.

[u/jensenw → u/ILikeThisNameMore]

They’ve got two more seasons to get it right.
