watched the entire series twice. overall the show was great at times, good at times and a snooze fest at times. in the world of binge watch series ...it ranks somewhere between 15th and 25th.
the second half of the last season was a major letdown...i enjoyed the internal struggle of am "I Jimmy" or am " I Saul" though. in the end it was a love story.
as far as Kim...big no. the smoking kills it for me.
would kind of agree but for two things I took into consideration:
1. wasn't made to binge watch as parts of it are supposed to be a slow burn, others more a roller coaster - both have their place as you would watch it week to week over a 4-5 year period.
2. Gilligan had to do his best to marry it up to the BB arc which was very hard to do. I think they did their best although not perfect. The reflections to Gene and Cinnabon/The Mall/Carol Burnett so MUCH with 3-4 episodes left was very odd. I understand it was needed for the last episode's result to "happen" but they went there maybe a little too much the last 5-6 episodes.
Saul was an ambitious task Gilligan and Gould took on, and I don't think it was ever intended when BB was created. I think they did as good of a job as could be done making all the 100's of puzzle pieces fit retroactively. I don't like Odenkirk's politics but he, Seehorn and Cranston can absolutely act their asses off in the correct roles.
