I really liked it at the time but now when I look back I think I wish I got those hours back. A bleak and depressing show. Not sure why a pp called it “comedic”. I loved the visuals tho.

I loved BB, but have started Better Call Saul twice and still don't really like it. Not sure why I'm having such different reactions to similar shows.

Woman here. BB is my all time favorite tv show. When I first watched it, I canceled plans and pushed deadlines just to watch it all. I never binge watch tv like that. I’ve watched it again and still love it. I also loved the Wire, the American, Better Call Saul and Mad Men.

You never know what shows you're going to respond to. Everyone talks about The Wire as the best show ever. I gave it three seasons and gave up. Didn't move me. Felt like the show runners settled on a mood and just kept it there. Which was interesting for a little while but then became tedious.

What's so cool about Breaking Bad are the character arcs of Walter, Jesse, Skyler, and Hank. Plus some really good bad guys. The dude that played Todd does psychopath really well. Over - what, five seasons? - it became this Shakespearean drama. I found it riveting. Satisfying ending so good closure. It really is one of the best written shows out there. And the casting was great. It might be a slow start, but if you binge it and watch as the story lines really get rolling, you'll probably get hooked somewhere in season two.

I feel this way about Yellowstone. I cannot watch it.

Yes, this. Took me a while to get engaged and then I got hooked by end of Season 1.

I never got into Better Call Saul. It just didn't do it for me. Can't really explain why.

Why porno?

PP can't understand cause and effect, and judges without looking or thinking, and all 'bad" thing are the same thing.

I didn't like it until I watched a 2 hr "supercut" on YouTube that summarized the first 3 or 4 seasons.

Best show ever, imo.

But people are different.

Best show ever in the opinions of many. Top ten of all time according to probably more than 80% of cultural critics.

People may not enjoy it but those saying it’s not art are juvenile.

It gave me nightmares. No thanks.

Also hate it. Also watched maybe 5 episodes and could not go any further. And I tried, twice. Started again from the beginning years later, still could not go any further.
