    To be fair, I've enjoyed the first two episodes of Better Call Saul more than the first two episodes of Breaking Bad. Thought the first 5 or 6 episodes of it were boring.

    Not saying it will be as good overall, I very much doubt it will. But you never know.

    The first two episodes were decent, nothing special although wouldnt expect it to be this early. I hope it lives up to its potential.

    Watched the 2 episodes last night, very promising start to it. Tuco is brilliant, hope to see more of him as the season goes on.

    Preferred the 1st 2 eps of this to the first 2 of BB. Not much in it though, thinks it's a Gilligan thing start of slow then KABOOM!

    Netflix UK has it on a few hours after airing in the states. Probably your best bet no need to look for a link online:50:

    Breaking bad just gets insanely good in the second half of season four , and stays amazing for about five or six episodes straight ( Until Gus is killed ). I think it is that little period that makes people rate the show so highly . Alot of the early seasons is hit and miss imo .

    I completely disagree with anyone that says Breaking Bad is slow. I think it's only slow if you jump on the band wagon late and expect it to be amazing the whole way through. No show is 10/10 for its entirety.

    I enjoyed it more the second time through and I'm sure I will like even better the third time. The comedy in the show is also under rated.

    Episode 3 was decent.

    Starting to build the characters a bit more.

    Can't wait to see episode 3.
    First 2 were really good I thought. Enjoyed breaking bad, but massively overrated IMO. Have high hopes for this.

    3rd episode was brilliant , mikes involvement in the plot made it so much better.
    I honestly prefer this too breaking bad its been a relatively slow start yet its been a great 3 episodes.

    Loving it already. Odenkirks a great actor, Mike will always be a legend.

    One glaring similarity with Breaking bad is that the smallest decision, however insignificant at the time, made by the characters has a snowballing effect which usually ends up with catastrophic results. Its a formula they nailed in BB, I just don't want this to fall short.

    Would be amazing if it surpassed BB. Still has 20 episodes to do it and the writers are brilliant so they could do it.
