K I N O
I recently finished watching this and it's so much better than BB in every conceivable way. Has to be one of the rare instances where the spinoff is streets ahead of the original show.
I agree up until S3. It takes a precipitous dropoff below BB with Chuck’s death. Really the only kino that remains after is with Hamlin.
the show turning into dirty jobs with mike ehrmantraut is K I N O overload
There's just too much Lalo stuff which drags on forever. Not to mention the last 3 episode mess.
The Mike stuff is ok but I feel BCS shows Mike after BB rather than before BB
Lalo is the only part of the cartel storyline I like because he's the opposite of watching wet paper dry like Gus, or at times like Mike.
I don't understand why so many people trash the second half of the series. Sure it peaked in season 3, but 5 has its moments and the end of the Hamlin arc was fantastic. Plan and Execution being the top rated episode is entirely justified imo, and I cared more about Hamlin than any character on Breaking Bad.
>I don't understand why so many people trash the second half of the series.
I assume mostly contrarianism but on rewatch, it was apparent that S4 was easily the weakest season.
I actually really liked the final season, my only major criticism was that the black+white episodes were a slog with weeklong breaks between, could've been condensed
This. I wasn't the biggest fan of the last season but your point still stands. You can tell some is streets behind and a complete troglodyte if they prefer BB over BCS. They only like it better for the explosions and the shit-tier twists and Saturday morning cartoon villains.

The finale of BCS was average, but I agree with your point about the cartoon villains. BB came off as too goofy, like a live action looney tunes cartoon while the characters in BCS felt more three dimensional.
I still maintain that Chuck McGill is the most painfully realistic villain in television history
Also Chuck is a narcissist and lives surrounded by tin foil aka mirrors. Now in the myth Narcissus is cursed to never be loved by the one he loves, which is himself, and Narcissus stares at his reflection in the river and the fire of his passion burns him and he turns into a white and golden flower. The most well known narcissism myth is the vampire: eternal youth (they don't grow), can control people, suck the life out of you, fear the cross because it's the symbol of the highest soul (the higher self, conscience and god), don't appear in mirrors for some reason but I don't know why, etc...
The show is kinda slow and boring at times etc. but the symbolism where it comes to Chuck and Jimmy is at times S+ tier.
It’s a good show, better than BB, but it’s a shitty BB prequel as it raises more questions and adds plotholes and doesn’t accomplish the task of explaining Saul Goodman’s character and motivations. Really the biggest questions about Saul from breaking bad are answered with plot devices (the vet’s little black book) and his character transformation mostly occurs offscreen in a montage in season 6.
Then the resolution where he decides to simp4lyfe for Kim is largely unsatisfying and meta because muh edgy crime drama can’t have the criminal get away with it, heaven forbid. Think of the children (TM)
I think BB is a lot better. Nothing against BCS in particular, I just have an issue with prequels in general. I'm totally fine with flashback sagas in standalone series, but prequels are way too derivative and reliant on source material for my liking. There are so many scenes in BCS that come off as moronic unless you know of the pre-established context from BB. The greatest example of this that I can recall is when Tuco's cousins appeared for the first time and threatened to kill Mike's granddaughter. I laughed my ass off the first time I saw that scene because it was just so fricking dumb. The entire scene basically equates to
"ZOMG LOOK EVERYONE!! THESE GUYS ARE FROM BREAKING BAD!! DON'T YOU REMEMBER THESE LE SCARY COOKIE-CUTTER CARTEL MEMBERS FROM BREAKING BAD?? WASN'T IT SO AWESOME WHEN THEY JOBBED TO A FAT moron IN A TOTALLY UNREALISTIC FASHION??"
I could go on, but in short the Mike B-plots in BCS are flat out boring. There's no way that BCS fans actually think that Mike staring through a pair of binoculars for 10 minutes an episode and doing frick all otherwise is "peak television". I quite enjoyed the HHM storyline though. Although as a byproduct of that, I sort of quit giving a shit about BCS entirely after Chuck died.
I think one of the worst parts of BCS was with the cartel. Didn't mind it, but didn't find it particularly interesting. Also, I feel like we didn't really need to see the super lab being built.
What sits me wrong with the show is how it jumps from the comedic Jimmy scenes to the serious Nacho and Finger cartel scenes. Breaking Bad just felt more focused and cohesive.
It's show time, folks!
Why did Jimmy's mirror-world doppelganger never get brought up again?
Literally nothing happens the show
>SAAS vs LUUL
Who wins?
>The duality of (Good)man.
The show was pretty comfy before Chuck died.
is it actually kino cause i started it recently its kinda meh , maybe it gets better
Stick with it for Chuck.
okay
Season 1 can be a bit of a slog to get through since it's a slow introduction, but it really picks up after.
I know Chuck's chicanery rant has been memed into redditdom, but it actually is one of the best breakdowns I've seen in media.
Honestly, I loved BCS but I still stand by my belief that it should have been a smaller scale lawyer drama. The show was always weighed down by it's insistence on reminding you that it's a prequel to Breaking Bad.
The lawyer side is great but gets buried by the BB side which was a lot weaker, particularly in the earlier seasons where it doesn't have any significant plot relevance. We get like 3 or so seasons of Nacho and Mike side adventures. They know the audience are helmet wearing spastics though...
