Better Call Saul> Breaking Bad

[CW_1991]

Never seen any of these shows before. I've heard great things just never got around to it.

Think I might get on it soon.

I mostly agree, but BCS really benefits from already having the universe laid out.

I finally finished this BCS this season after several failed attempts.

BCS was decent but to me it wasn’t better than BB.

There were a lot of “meh” eps of BCS and the majority of scenes with Saul or his brother…. I kinda hated.

I didn’t feel that way with Walter

i love both shows, i kinda like bcs a little better but bcs doesnt have success without being able to piggyback off of BB

I loved Better Call Saul, but Chuck episodes single-handedly weighed down the series and Jeff was an unwatchable character.

Breaking Bad was more consistently steller even if the great BCS episodes were just as good.

I liked the chuck episodes plus it lead to the most important scene of the series. I'd put this up there with the best of BB.

That was a great scene, and like I said I absolutely love the series. Doesn't change the fact that several of the Chuck episodes were borderline unwatchable and I cringed every time he was on camera.

This was my other favorite Chuck scene:

BCS is so weird to me. The only way I can describe it is by saying it's the most unwatchable watchable show. There are a lot of scenes and episodes that made me feel like. But I wanted to see how it ended and its well made. It does everything right except being a show I enjoyed watching

which seasons specifically?

the first couple of season were really dry, only the die hards could stomach it

Its like with Chuck; he has this disease, but does he really? Maybe? Probably? It started to feel like they would create these quirks in people that were suoposed to make them deeper and more interesting but it made for awkwardly drawn out TV most of time. That can be fine but its just not entertaining for me and the whole show felt like that. Maybe if I just accepted it more as satire

It kinda felt like Gus coasted too. Lalo finally put pressure on him but he had some anime level plot armor anyway so it didn't matter
