Slow burn, done right, is awesome.I'm fired up. Loved season 1 and 2.
I laughed at the people criticizing the "slow burn" of the first two seasons. It's like these people only watched the season finale's of Breaking Bad and thought the whole show was like that.
I just rewatched season 2 in the last 2 weeks since it came out on Netflix. The season ended with huge cliffhangers for both Mike and Jimmy. Ready to go!
Gus was such a great character. I'm so happy to see him back!
I want to see the Cousins again. And the skull tipped boots!
BTW, the season promo using a "real" Los Pollos Hermanos commercial was genius!!! I'm sure there were BB-oblivious people out there thinking 'Ooo, a new Mexican chicken place! Is it on Erie Blvd?'
That appearance they made in season 2 was pretty chilling. These writers know how to do creepy pool scenes.
Did you see the Breaking Bad DVD extras about those characters? The actor who plays the taller cousin actually did time, and it helped him get the part. His brother lucked out because they needed another 'scary' guy that looked like him, so he recommended his brother. The funny thing is that they are totally not those characters. They are pretty loose, funny guys.
Loving season 3 so far! There's no suspense with the Gus and Mike stuff or the Gus/Salamanca stuff, because we know where that's going big picture wise. But that's fine with me because I'm enjoying seeing the backstory filled in. The Jimmy/Chuck stuff has been good too, as it all comes to a head.
Saul, Mike, and Gus were all great characters on Breaking Bad, so learning more about them is a lot of fun for me. I'm so glad this show is a thing.

This show is the best thing on TV right now. The preview for next week looks crazy. The long story lines and suspense are great. I think this season is better than the first 2
This season is the best of this show so far. I agree with a lot that some of the first and second season dragged a bit. More Mike is always good for the show.
If you were ready to get to "Saul" and the Breaking Bad stuff quickly, I can see how it would be dragging at times in the first two seasons.
I really got to like the Jimmy McGill character though, so I wasn't in a rush to see him turn into Saul. I think when it's all said and done, time will show they did things the right way in taking their time and really fleshing that character out.
And I agree, Mike is always great. I can watch those 10 minute no dialogue scenes of him figuring stuff out all day.
Can't wait to see him stick it to Chuck.
It was electric. Sorry.Despite no Mike or Gus, I think last nights episode was the best of the season so far and maybe the best of the entire show. It's way up there.
Great build throughout, and then that ending...actually had me feeling a little sorry for Chuck. The looks on everyone's faces said it all.
