Most people, including me, beg to disagree. Better Call Saul was a masterpiece.
replyI really enjoyed Better Call Saul and thought it was much much better than Breaking Bad. Walter White was such an irritating character. Saul was a brilliant hustler.
replyI could see Better Call Saul appealing more to the Hacker News community than Breaking Bad. Kim and Jimmy often give off founder/startup energy (e.g. S2E7)
replyYeah, I abandoned Breaking Bad around mid-season 2 because of how boring, slow, and repetitive it had become. Better Call Saul, on the other hand, was constantly clicking for me, from one episode to another. The writing is magnificent. There were a few slow-rollers, of course, but they were nothing compared to drip-feeding in Breaking Bad.
replyIs this some kind of ragebait?
replyCinemagraphicly wonderful, storyline? awesome. Characters and Character development? great
I have watched it several times. Every time it hits different. It surely is a masterpiece.
replyI couldn’t make it through Breaking Bad, but I couldn’t put down Better Call Saul. Different boats for different floats.
replyHow far through did you get? I think it gets significantly better in season 2, and continues improving thereafter. Basically after they starting bringing in bigger overarching storylines.
replyI made a few false starts where I couldn’t really get through season 1, but after I persisted it was worth it.
Somehow it fizzled out for me somewhere in season 3. These days I can see myself powering through with some skipping, but I would probably rather rewatch The Wire.
replyS2 gives off a lot of founder/startup energy. I could see it appealing to Hacker News community
replyI respect you shitting on something that is nearly perfect. Your hatred is pure and that makes it special.
replyI'm curious what makes you say that
replySaid no one ever.
replyTerrible? Nah it was good. Really slow in places tho.
