4/10
No soul in Saul Goodman's story

Warning: Spoilers
First of all i'd never want to compare this series to BB, but i'm forced to do so for quite obvious reasons. BB was was more emotional and way more intense, you could feel the sparks in the air and character interactions was way deeper.

Here we got season 5, 2nd episode in and all we have is Goodman's unrealistic and stupid scamms, which are getting really boring and old and the scenes drags on forever and we get way way too much of Kim Wexlers smartass corporate facial expressions and stupid one liners. Sauls and her storylines are simply boring and not interesting at all, like shes on the constant doubt whether to support Saul or hate him and this is repeating itself and i frankly dont care about her at all.

Even Mike got boring script, supervising those german techs all 4th season with his tough guy look 24/7..meh storytelling.

The only thing saving this series is Eduardo Salamanca and his feud with Gus, i'm gonna keep watching and hope it won't drag out into the realm of boring.

Seriosly cut the Kim Wexler screen time by a huge notch or kill her already, whatever. Give Saul more interesting stories to go with and it may be on par with BB.
