Update on my end: I'm caught up. I'm not in LOVE with the show, but it's a fun successor to Breaking Bad.
Yeah, it's solid and especially polished for being the opening episodes in a new series. I was really impressed with how every seemingly unimportant/unrelated thing was connected and coming together by the end of the second episode (sound familiar? =). If I'd have changed anything, it might have been front-loading the especially dramatic
Tuco material into the first episode for maximum impact and developing the rest of Saul's world and supporting cast in the second. The second episode was definitely stronger overall, but then maybe it needed the first episode for that (plus then it would have seemed to be aping
Bad even more). Anyway, I'm obviously thrilled by its baseline quality and potential, but would be happy to continue watching even if it doesn't become anything more than Breaking Bad's fun little brother.
I really hope they start building the cast a little more. Not that impressed with any of the actors so far except for Odenkirk.
Really? I agree with the sentiment that nobody stood out much besides Odenkirk, but if anything I felt like there were too many characters. Also, give the current cast some time, they still need to develop and have something to do besides fit archetypes for Saul's plot needs; who thought much of Dean Norris the obnoxious brother-in-law at the start of BB? The one I'm most intrigued by is Nacho, Saul's potential new business partner.
In other name news, there are quite a few attorneys named James McGill. I wonder what they think of the show? 
No such thing as bad publicity?
