I loved breaking bad but seriously everyone talking about it nonstop just got obnoxious.

I still say The Shields ending was truly the GOAT.

Dat last episode..unreal!! Someone on here said don't compare the shit shield to Breaking bad. And all I have to say is whoever it was is a complete and utter moron.

You knew Nucky Thompson was really Bruce Arians? This guy is good.

Nucky Thompson was half based on a real individual in Jersey during the prohibition era.

What are you talking about?

Really interested to see Nacho/Saul work together now.

Also, remember when Nacho says "Don't worry, he doesn't know I'm here" to Saul in his office? Wonder if this is what really triggers Tuco to start disliking Nacho.

Watched both episodes last night.
Exposition was very good, and I'm liking the slow build.
The beginning was interesting, as it may not be all a flashback.

I agree it will not all be a flashback. A season or two to catch up with him hiding in Nebraska or wherever and then it will move off in another direction. So far I'm really enjoying it.

I wonder what the significance of the scene where he is young and in the CC jail means in the grand scheme?

The back story is he was a hustler who decided to go straight and in these first episodes he keeps turning down opportunities to get "in the game." His bro says "if I help you out don't make me into a fool." But we know from Breaking Bad that eventually he will be all-in in terms of criminal enterprise. So the dramatic arc, if you will, is us watching him try to be legit but get pulled back into crime. BTW they did an absolutely horrible job of making either him or Lenny look younger in that scene.

I sort of hope they don't spend any time on him going to law school.

I watched the first 3 shows, as difficult as it was to watch. My conclusion is that this show is strictly for Cutler fanboys.

OK, gotcha...I was under the impression from the first two episodes that he originally was a straight shooter and was corrupted by Nacho...But what you are saying makes sense now.. He tried the straight life at the urging of Chuck, but it wasn't working out for him...Thanks
