Better Call Saul (2015–2022)
7/10
Drags a lot
13 August 2021
Better Call Saul has its moments but the really good episodes are very few and far between. There's a lot of dragging out in this series, some episodes are just a load of different, boring subplots that you have no interest in but you just sit through it hoping that something interesting will start happening eventually; and it does, but it's a very slow climb to get to a point where the plot really starts to grab your attention.

I'd say it's definitely worth watching for those golden moments, just be prepared to sit through a lot of slow-paced waffle. The latest series (5) has been the best so far in my opinion, because the main plot is finally starting to take over all the subplots and the show is becoming a bit more action-packed.

I wouldn't say this series is better than Breaking Bad purely because the pacing is terrible, but it has been nice to see what was going on with all the characters before Walter and Jesse came along, and it looks like as we move from season 5 to 6, Vince is starting to make up for all the boredom the viewers have had to endure up to this point.

Overall, it's a pretty good series, worth watching, but I think 10 stars is a bit over-the-top for something that crawls along as much as it does.
