i would have liked to have seen more interaction with Tuco.... that was great... honestly the ONLY highlight of the 1st season...

or how he got his connect with Gus... anything really... sh*t was just not fun or exciting

I agree that the best episode was the one about Mike and his son..... I started growing tired of him and his brother..
But I get that narrative now because it made it even worse when his brother sold him out.... I feel you on it not being exciting at times but I felt that way about some parts of the 1st season Breaking Bad... I guess I just trust Vince enough to stick with Better Call Saul

i watchd the first 6 episodes, it was aight, nothing special. and in terms of the ratings, it did well with the initial episode and trended downward ever since. not a good sign

didnt it trend down like dude a couple posts back said. i watched, stopped, watched, and stopped again. i feel like i was just watching from bb nostalgia instead of actually feeling the show. i just wasnt feeling it :yeshrug:

That's not entirely accurate. The first two episodes broke two records, so anything after that would've had to trend downward. It still averaged about 6 million per episode, which is the highest ratings of any new show so far this year.

Again, that's not accurate.

You're going by live viewing, which is not how Nielsen's ratings work nowdays. Now they also factor in DVR playback for 3 days after each episode, for any show.

http://variety.com/2015/tv/news/rat...aul-cables-top-new-show-of-season-1201471324/

Each episode averaged 5.9 million, making it the highest rated new show of the year.

If cats want to talk about they don't like the show :manny: but it is definitely a hit.

you are wrong.... BCS had lower ratings than Love & Hip Hop:

That's live viewing breh. Again, that's not how the Nielsen's rating system works.

etc etc etc.

and this whole thing about BCS being the highest rated show is complete BS

Empire had much higher ratings sometimes 10+ times higher

http://www.usatoday.com/story/life/tv/2015/03/12/empire-ratings-growth-fox/70207380/

I should've said highest rated new CABLE show but it's apples and oranges. Nobody compares cable to regular TV. The numbers that are considered good on cable wouldn't last a season on Fox.

The only shows on cable doing more than "BCS" is "The Walking Dead" and "Game Of Thrones".
