People there are being incredibly loud, obnoxious and offensive, despite the fact the US is on track for a record low.

And as I understand it, something similar is occurring in the golf too.

Swearing and calling out when the Europeans were on their backswing, insulting Rory McIlroy and his family.
Fist fights in the crowd.
Pretty much Shooter McGavin's worst nightmare. Loud, boorish stuff you'd be more likely to see at an NFL game.
But yeah some of the Euro guys were so put out by it they were swearing back at the crowd etc.
Might get ugly tomorrow
 
I started Better Call Saul about 6 weeks ago and just finished it now. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole thing and appreciated the ending. Despite all his flaws, Jimmy/Saul wasn't a killer and he had some sympathy/empathy.

But I think they could've spent more time on the breakdown between Jimmy and Kim's relationship. It felt incredibly sudden.

Absolute masterpiece.

I'm not sure if there was a real breakdown; I think Kim left and the next time she returned to sign the papers he had settled into being Saul properly and was putting on a show so that she couldn't see she broke his heart and that was it.

I think my biggest gripe with it is we didn't get enough time with Saul in his prime. Even just 2 episodes of him spending money and being dodgy would've been great, but not that big a deal - very little to complain about other than everyone being 5 years older and 10 kilos heavier than they were in BB. 😂

Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul are just amazing stories - I watched both through for the 6th time at least (embarrassing I know) only a couple of months back. Will go back again sometime soon.

Vincent Gilligan's new show with Rhea Seehorn is on Apple TV very soon I think.

Haha, yeah, the attention to detail with respect to characters' ages didn't seem to be a concern.

My gripe is that Kim was constantly turned on by Jimmy's shenanigans even though she knew it was wrong. Then suddenly she breaks good and decides that as a couple they "are poison". I feel the writers could've dwelt on this conversion a little more.

I see what you're saying, yet being almost responsible for a murder due to your actions and it occurring right in front of you would be a major catalyst. A little more would've been gladly accepted however!

Don't get me wrong though, I agree, the whole series was genius. Peeking behind the curtain of the Fring vs Salamancas history, seeing Mike's motivations, and the whole sibling interactions with Chuck....as good as it gets.

I think the show would've struggled to maintain my interest without the stories of the Salamancas, Nacho and Mike. It seemed to maintain the perfect balance between Jimmy, Chuck, Howard and Kim's slower paced story and the Fring grimey stuff.

Every time I watch it I feel more sorry for Howard. And contrary to most's opinion I really disliked Mike in BB but found him far more relatable and personable in BCS.

Anyway, great show/s. Next time I watch I might do this:

I hated Mike in BB but rooted for him in BCS. Context eh?

Howard copped a raw deal. Was the fall guy for Chuck's deception towards Jimmy in the early series', gets pranked later on to the point of having his life ruined....then gets his brains blown out when speaking the truth to the perpetrators.

But he was a smarmy campaigner, so all good. :laughing:

Howard and Nacho were brilliant additions to the universe.

Chuck too, in spite of his chicanery.

Kim the goat.

****, Lalo too. Whole show is a masterpiece.

Gotta love the student film crew for their contributions too.

BCS is incredible. Better than Breaking Bad and that's an exceptionally high bar to clear. I've watched both multiple times.
