He also appears unable to arrive at a reliable definition of "decent."

Don't get the rampant love for this already. Only two episodes have aired for fuck's sake. It's been okay. Not a bad show but nothing really inneresting or exciting yet. I still wonder if Odenkirk, or rather his character, can carry this. Mike was funny. Fat Tuco was weird and anachronistic.

Episode 3 was great tonight. Odenkirk is going to win awards for this show.

the kettlemans seem like a holderness family parody. the actress who played the wife of the dead cop is in familiar territory here and plays the doting mom/wife pretty well.

it's a nice, quirky show so far.

Good episode last night


So what year is it? Like 2004? Just guessing, its gotta be pre 2008 obviously

Did you see something that helped you determine pre 2002 Panther?


I was just thinking about it. Saul meets Walt in 08-09. So I just guessed it had to be at least a handful of years before that.

i love how a lot of people bitched about the presence of a fat tuco in this show. it's not like the guy was doing TIIIIIGHT meth or anything at least casually related to weight loss during his all-too-brief time in breaking bad.

bob odenkirk's doing great with this role. you really want to pull for jimmy/saul as he's dealing with all of his bullshit. i think he genuinely means well but is becoming more and more hardened to the real world. i think that's the transformation we'll see here, as they started the series with him indeed managing at the cinnabon in omaha to show that unlike walter there's a point where he's willing to tap out and say enough and try to live an "honest" life. i think that flashforward was meant to set up the morality of the show, which is a nice move as we're watching jimmy start to get deeper and deeper in the shit and if he's not up to his shoulders by the end of the season (already renewed) then i'll be severely disappointed.

That's no fun. I thought they'd reveal it on the show.

Thanks though

Right, that's why I was thinking it could be a slow reveal. Since Saul's car is not new or close to it.

It's May 2002.

The three knuckleheads he's defending in the pilot decapitated the corpse on the video which had a date stamp of October 2001. The $700 check he got for defending all 3 is dated May 12, 2002. He slams the check up on the glass in protest and the date is up on the screen for a good 5 seconds.

Thought last night's episode was the best one so far.

McKean's wig was distractingly bad. Other than that, good episode

Why am I drawing a blank on this?

Sorry I was still waking up when I posted that, I meant she was the dead cop's wife in "Fargo" TV show.

Thanks. I thought I was losing my mind.

A simple Chicago Sunroof

Watched the first 2 episodes online at AMC.

Went to watch episode 3 and it said I had to sign in via my cable provider

Really enjoyed the first 2, and I am hoping to see the 3rd before Monday night.

So far this is a good episode, but it seems to be re-visiting exactly the same thematic terrain that Breaking Bad engaged--the declining economic prospects of White America, and the need to turn to "illegitimate" commerce to compensate for the lack of economic opportunity. There doesn't seem to be anything fresh, new or exciting here. That said, the show is deftly written, funny, and well acted, so I'll keep watching for now.

I've heard that the show hits its stride particularly in episodes 6 and 9, which are reported to be dark, well-crafted hours of television.

this seems like a Dostoevskyesque story...jimmy can be duplicitous but he also seems to want to do the right thing. i haven't watched "breaking bad" though...

This show is great. Every episode is better than the previous one. I never ever imagined that a show starring Saul could be this great.

It's-all-good-man = Saul Goodman. Just brilliant.

butthole's a funny word. it took last night's episode to remind me of that.

I thought that was a great episode top to bottom.

Funny, interesting, and very weird at the end. Good stuff.
