Of course, season 1 was great. We had Five-O and the Cicero flashbacks, and were shown that BCS is a good show. With that burden to prove itself out of the way, though, the second season has taken a lot more risks and they've all paid off. Both plots (Mike and Jimmy's) are gripping and suspenseful without relying on cheap action sequences and out of character mistakes. In general, you know a show's suspense is well-crafted when we know all of these characters are going to live.

And let me just say: these Breaking Bad character re-ignitions are not a bad thing. If they were done for shock value, of course. But Hector didn't show up in season 1 for ratings, he showed up in season 2 because the plot demanded it. A lesser show would have Mike's plot be all about the road to Gus; this show is about the road to BB Mike. Nothing is rushed, time is being taken, and it's fantastic.

Anyone else love this show so far?

Tuco is great

Aren't you a Breaking Bad fan? Thought I saw you with a 5B Walt avatar at some point.

Yeah I loved BB. Just never felt much incentive to watch Better Call Saul.

Ah, that makes sense. BCS is definitely more of a slow burn that Breaking Bad, but it's so good.

I like how it has maintained the "dramedy" tone that BB season 1 had, while still delivering legitimate dramatic punches.
