    Haven't seen this yet (tonight! :)) but my main fear is that everyone will look a lot older than they did in Breaking Bad, even though it's meant to be set years before it. Could create a problem with suspension of disbelief.
    There's only a couple of characters that could affect, and it's not really noticeable in either case. Mike looks pretty much the same, as does Saul. Makeup is a wonderful thing.

    I'm gonna wait until tomorrow and then watch the second episode as well so if the first spends too long setting the scene and laying things out, I've got the second to immediately go into.

    looking forward to this, however I'm on ep 13 season 7 of House at the mo, (managing about an ep a night at the mo) so will wait until I complete the run before watching Saul, should have a few episodes to get stuck into by then.

    @KRadiation

    Nah, even if the slower bits aren't to your taste, you have to watch it right up until that last scene - it's setting the next episode up and then some!

    Was pretty easy to re-adjust, it's not Brraking Bad, but it is. Typical scene setting episode but as far as they go, very good.

    It was pretty good. A bit too capery for me, I thought the A Team style episodes were the weakest part of BB.

    It started really well though.

    This is brilliant.

    Well, that was great, a very pleasing first episode. It's nice how it has that Breaking Bad vibe to it even though it isn't Breaking Bad.

    Yeah, it's nice to set foot back into what is obviously and stylistically the same universe.

    S'all good man.

    I hope his uncle makes an appearance.

    The trailers did make it look a lot better than I thought it was going to be.

    @dutchspeededup it was awesome! Great first episode. Loved the surprise black and white opening, was not expecting that. Wonder if we'll get more post-BB bits.

    Ending was excellent too - bring on episode 2 tonight!

    I hated the trailers, especially the scenes with him shouting you will atone etc that had no context. It looked all over the place. They really felt like random clips with no narrative to explain the show.


    But the actual show was (as expected) beautifully paced.

    The "YOU. WILL. ATONE." thing does feel kinda out of place if you haven't seen Network. I guess he name-dropped the movie for that reason, but even then it felt strange.

    They handled this first episode brilliantly.

    Can't wait to see more.

    Took me ages to recognise him at the beginning in the cake shop.  Seriously!

    @Frogofdoom I think it was were he told Jesse about money laundering etc, and tried to get Walt and Skylar to buy instead of car wash. Nice little nod.

    Superb start, can't wait till the next episode.

    Tuco's surprise appearance at the end pretty much plops him in the shit in right from the off.
    This!! Looking forward to the next episode!

    Saw it last night and yeah, it's excellent.

    It's got the same tone and vibe that BB had, but there does seem to be a slightly more comedic edge to it. Odenkirks acting was excellent too, he was very good on BB but he just seems a lot more focused this time (if that makes sense?).

    Criminal lawyer who represents criminals set in the Breaking Bad universe?

    Yeah, this is going to be awesome. I'm calling multiple Emmy wins already.

    That's a very generous way to describe Cinnabon.
