Ahhhh I just read some definitions and examples. Seems the best way to understand yo is by replacing it with the word "man" and imagining an old stoned hippy speaking. | |

Got - the hand! Didn't see that happening, although in hindsight it makes complete sense because he committed the cardinal sin of doing something nice just before, and we know what happens to people who do something nice in got. | |

I really like how they are unabashedly making this Breaking Bad just that it stars Saul instead of Walter. Like, the theme is exactly the same, the tone is the same-- we watch as otherwise good people get their backs to the wall and end up breaking bad. I feel like this could almost read as a detraction, only that we're talking about Breaking Bad here. They pretty much figured out a way to keep making the show without jumping the shark. | |

Better Call Saul feels a bit rushed to me. I'll give Vince Gilligan the benefit of doubt and guess that he's trying to get ethical Saul Goodman out of the way asap because he's got much better ideas for after. | |

Anyone seen Bloodline? It seems to be getting decent reviews so I may decide to watch it. Which would of course be completely illogical since I've yet to see Mad Men or Deadwood, but hey! | |

Can't deny they're doing a great job of telling a story where we already know how it ends and making it very interesting. | |

Better call saul is quite well made but I just couldnt get myself to care for his character as the main focus of the show so I stopped watching for now. | |

Saul's great. The episode with the backstory for Mike was jarring as hell and probably the worst episode of the run in many ways. I obviously enjoyed it but it was really a pure crowd-pleaser episode meant to sate everyone's appetite for Mike. Everything else about this season could have been equally enjoyed by someone who had never seen Breaking Bad. I find Saul's character to be very compelling and easily capable of carrying an hour-long show. | |

I like how they tied-in the Cinnabon part from Season 5 of Breaking Bad. I hadn't noticed it until I went back and watched Breaking Bad... Saul says he'll be lucky if he's managing a Cinnabon when he skips town. S1E1 of Better Call Saul starts out with him working there, but it doesn't look like he's a manager. | |
04-03-2015 02:51 PM

Ok I might check that out then. Saul is for me great as a secondary character, not so much as the main and the ways they try to make him sympathetic is too much "save the cat" playbook for my taste. (reading that book def ruined some movies/series for me but thats another discussion) | |

So I've been rewatching Oz for like the fifth time now, and its interesting how viewing a series multiple times at different points in my life always causes me to reflect differently on it. Oz was basically the genesis of the one hour serial drama concept as exemplified by later classics like the Sopranos, the Wire, Breaking Bad, etc. It was the first HBO one hour series, and you can see the ensemble cast all over television ever since. | |

If you enjoyed blow, you'd enjoy a book called smokescreen. It's about Allen Long, a guy who wants to make a documentary about drug smuggling and runs out of money mid way so gets into smuggling himself. It's set in the 70s and he does some pretty cool and original stuff right at the beginning of the smuggling Boom. Well worth a read. | |

started narcos. so fucking legit. wanted to say that early in ep one the narrator tells a story of how rodents choose coke over food and sleep or something. iirc that's only true of rodents in dire lab habitats. when in naturally stimulative ones, they dont obsess over coke. im maybe 85% positive on this. not terribly interested in looking it up to be sure. |

It's odd that to the uninvolved cocaine comes across as being this addictive drug that can quickly ruin your life. But, maybe not so much now, but in my earlier life I knew tonnes of people who did coke all the time and none of them became the stereotypical drug addict. I think you need a lot more issues in your life than just a taste for getting high before you end up a full blown junkie. | |

Agree with most of the criticism. I guess I kinda let it slide because there were so many characters that we needed to relate to and using cliché stereotypes was an easy way to do it, I guess it's a little lazy maybe. But I got over it because I liked the premise and the way they blended the characters together was pretty cool. | |

be sure to stick with it for multiple episodes so you can see how the story arc forms. the premise might lead you to believe that it's episodic, but it's the total opposite. there's a whole crazy storyline that emerges from the different "reviews" he has to do. andy daly is so fantastic. and the tone of the show is strange too, both absurd and realistic.. it's just fucking weird. i love it. | |
