Odenkirk is killing it. You appreciated what he brought in BB but this is a whole other level that I'm so glad exists.

We don't see enough of him to be honest. Can really play a range of different roles too, was great in Fargo.
If you're a fan of Odenkirk, it's worth checking out Mr Show - HBO sketch show from the 90s that he created with David Cross (Tobias from Arrested Development).
Features a lot of comedians in their early years - Sarah Silverman, Jack Black, etc.

I'm enjoying it. Great cinematography and attention to detail like its predecessor (all the phone boxes is a clever way to reinforce it's set over a decade ago). Story's entertaining and characters like his brother and the blonde lawyer who is clearly Saul's ex (surprised no one has mentioned this) I want to see more of. Looks like it's going to make great use of occasional flashbacks too. Happy knowing there's another 20 episodes coming 
People who want it to be Breaking Bad seasons 0-0.99 will be disappointed. It's certainly its own show albeit one that shares the same universe.

Does anyone know if it's going to be on Netflix when that launches here or is it pretty much locked into Stan?

Both Odenkirk and Cross were also in Arrested Development together.

Thought it was pretty evident when he's calling her at 2AM and talking about putting on the sexy robot voice.
I don't get people saying it's different to BB and you can't compare them. It seems to have the same ratio of drama and dark comedy, the same sort of comedy, the same sort of cinematography, the same sort of nuanced random scenes. it's almost too similar.
More comedy than BB for me.

Considering a lot of the comedy in the latter seasons of BB was Saul related I'd say it's a justified ratio so far.

The comedy in Breaking Bad was usually morbid.
It's more of a black comedy with some drama sprinkles.

Loved it when Chuck went to get the paper, like being in a war zone from his view.

Loved the look of the old lady whose paper he took
You knew the guy dangling from the sign was a set up as it seems as though they delibrately showed in the first shot of him starting to take down the sign that he was wearing a harness.Still funny.

Fantastic episode.
It really doesn't make sense to 'rescue' someone who is wearing a safety harness when there is no risk in waiting for the fire department.
EDIT: Plus people who are stripping drunk people of cash don't just hand over $500 bucks.
