Breaking bad marathon on AMC right now. If you never seen it , it is a good opportunity to catch up. I believe they are still on season one ,but I don't know which episode off of the top of my head but it has to be around the first two or three.

@ bentom187. I missed too many eps at the start and decided Id be better off waiting for it to finish and get the boxed set after the finale was aired I dont get excited over TV shows very often but this one is a fucken cracker ! having it on Bluray and watching when it suited was worth every cent I paid for it, took me a couple of months to get through it !10/10

Yeah the DVD set is the best route to go. The free episodes on TV are not bad though. It is awesome.

Some updates.... some good news, and some bad news. First, the bad news: The season opener has been pushed back a few months, now it's scheduled to start in early 2015. The good news... it has already been signed up for a second season, kind of unusual for a show that hasn't even broadcast it's first episode yet.

Here are the particulars:

http://insidetv.ew.com/2014/06/19/amc-orders-second-season-breaking-bad-spinoff-better-call-saul/

AMC is already calling Saul again. The network announced Thursday that it had picked up a second season of Better Call Saul, the Breaking Bad spin-off starring Bob Odenkirk, before the first episode of the show has even aired.

And speaking of season 1: The first of those highly anticipated 10 episodes, which was originally slated to debut in November, has been pushed back a few months and will now premiere in early 2015, according to AMC. The 13-episode season 2 is scheduled to hit the air in early 2016.

Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan will serve as co-showrunner and executive producer of Saul, and is directing the first episode of the prequel series, which will chronicle the adventures of underhanded attorney Saul Goodman before he teamed up with meth kingpin Walter White (Bryan Cranston). The network also released the first official photo from the set, which features Odenkirk, Gilligan, and Peter Gould, the Bad co-executive producer who created the Goodman character and is serving as Saul‘s other co-showrunner/executive producer.

“Production on Better Call Saul is underway and we could not be more proud of nor more excited about the work to date. We join the fans in eager anticipation for this series and today we happily confirm that our initial Saul order is for two seasons and a total of 23 episodes,” said AMC president Charlie Collier in a statement. “When introducing any series, especially one with the DNA of Breaking Bad, there are countless factors to consider in making sure the show gets the launch it deserves. We have a strong history with Vince, Peter, Bob, the studio and so many involved with this production; we are enjoying the process on ‘Saul’ and all share a focus on making it a true television event. No half measures.”

The project reunites many members of the Breaking Bad team besides Gilligan, Gould, and Odenkirk. Jonathan Banks, who played fixer Mike Ehrmantraut on the original series, is a member of the cast, and Bad writer-producers Thomas Schnauz and Gennifer Hutchison are among Saul‘s scribes. New cast members include Michael McKean, Patrick Fabian, Rhea Seehorn, and Michael Mando.

so far.. its a lil slow.. but usually the pilot episode is always a lil ehh..

but lets hope its as good if not better then B.B.. especially with all the actors from BB saying its going to really excite the BB FANS..

Was rather wary of a spin-off from BB. I don't remember a follow up to the Sopranos and BB surely isn't comparable to Cheers :D

But it was alright, the ending made up for the slow progression (introducing characters/establishing personalities).

I think I'd rather see a cartel spin-off, but so far not bad.

totally loved it,,,watching saul go to the dark side and "tucco" turning up at the end and a little cameo from "mike",,,,,
enough there for the 1st episode,,,,trying to keep an open mind and not compare to bb,,,,,that vince Gilligan is all over it is enough for me,,,:tiphat:
