Plus - something about taking selfies at all Cinnabon's to enter into some grand sweepstakes.

I also understand that the free bun comes in a Saul themed box.

ROTFL!

Tried it, probably going to let it go. Slow, slow.

Acquired taste.

I have to go look for it. I was late to Breaking Bad - real late. As in, it is over late.

I binged watched the series. Love it. Will give Saul a 2nd look even if it is slow. Could be a real fun series.

Me too. And have since watched it binge style all the way through twice. THanks to Netflix or I would probably never watched this show. One of my all time favorites now.

The humor, and the progression and change of the characters over time was fascinating

OP, thank you so much for reminding me about this series, I was all about Downton Abbey last night. I'm glad I can catch both episodes tonight. Saul was my favorite on BB. Also Odenkirk is from around where I live. Did anyone see him in the TV series Fargo,with BillyBob Thornton? That was an eyepopping series.

Your welcome MoJo. Loved Odenkirk in "Fargo". Am eagerly awaiting the return of that series, it has become appointment viewing at our house.

Many wonderful series start out slow in the beginning. Sometimes it takes a few episodes for things to gel and for them to hit their stride. Hopefully this one won't disappoint, because it's predecessor is one of the best series ever on TV.

Loved it! It took me a few minutes to get into it though. When it started I was still upset about how Walking Dead turned out. I cried. Not writing anything else because some people may not have watched it yet. It was so sad!

Loved Saul though, I was a little confused about who his brother Chuck was at first. I don't think they explained that part well enough or maybe I missed it still thinking about WD.

BUT I loved the inclusion of Mike and Tuco! That was so great!

Great setup for the next episode and I am super excited they have included Tuco. He is such a perfect villain. It will be interesting to see how Saul and his skateboard kids get out of this.

For everyone that thought it started slow, if you recall Breaking Bad started a bit slow too.

I think the main difference here is that with BB, you started to like Walter from the very beginning and then the empathy you felt for him when he finds out he has cancer. So you start caring about him early on.

I think with Saul, you're going to like him too, it will just take more time because he's a lawyer and a bad one at that. But eventually viewers will come to care about him too. They will develop his character a bit more in coming episodes. Give it some time.

I started to feel a little empathy for him, in the clip where he went in to the nail salon and his office was essentially in a water heater room close to the laundry room!
