Better Call Saul

[Hector]

I loved this last episode...Saul's struggles to be a successful attorney...and the lowly things he has to resort...as well as taking in the craziest clients out there...it's showing how he's only venue is going to be the seedy underworld...doesn't have to be about fast pace or action...great stuff.

After a great start, the last two episodes have been very slow IMO. Not up to Breaking Bad standards.

Four episodes in and I'm loving this show. A very worthy followup to Breaking Bad.

Yeah, I started off being very surprised by the direction they took with it, and I still loved it, but I'm loving it more each episode.

I can't wait to see what they're building up to, it seems like something big.

Another fun episode tonight!

I wondered what you guys thought of this.

MINOR SPOILERS:

So far in each episode Jimmy/Saul quotes from one classic movie. I wondered if this was like, an easter egg thing that's gong to happen every episode, or if it's going to be more random.

In the first ep. Saul quotes from "Network", which he even explains. The second ep. is from "All That Jazz", they even used a different version of the same music in the score. I waited the whole third episode wondering if Saul was going to get a quote in again, and right near the end he got off "Heeere's Johnny", which I think is safe to assume he's quoting from "The Shining", and not "The Tonight Show" because of how he does it.

Could be the quotes are just random though, because I think I did notice at least one other reference - in the opening of ep. 2, when they're all in the dessert, the score seems to reference "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly".

Anyway - what do you guys think?

AMC has all three episodes on their website for streaming.

That's pretty cool!

I just wanted to mention a quick trick in case anyone needs to catch up, or missed an episode:

The show airs every week on Netflix U.K. - so if you have a Netflix account in any country you can watch by fooling your devices into thinking you're in the U.K. with an IP region switching service like Unblock-Us.

I use turboflix and it's not showing it

Loving the show more and more.

Tony Montana hates Colombians, lol.

But the original may not be shown in Columbia. And Columbia ain't Mexico.

I lived in Mexico for seven years (ages 7-14)...pointless to me...I hated every time they did something similar down there back in the day, lol.

They do get the originals...as I watched the the Six Million Dollar Man, Brady Bunch, Lost in Space, Star Trek, The Avengers, Speed Racer, Kimba the White Lion, etc...saw them all in Mexico...the only difference...they were dubbed...which I hated too, lol.

Now everyone has cable...and American channels and shows are shown in Mexico (and other countries).

But you are right...for those who don't speak and understand the language, and are too lazy to read subtitles...I suppose producing remakes in their own language is necessary...just not for me...I'd rather see the original product with subtitles...as long as they are not dubbed.
