Yeah ok. Some of us actually enjoy Jimmy's story as much as Mike's.

Without Mike the show is garbage and it probably wouldn't make it past the 2nd season.

It's gonna be just like Breaking Bad in the sense that the best years of the show featured Mike and Gus.

The appeal of this show has nothing to do with Jimmy.

Most people just want to cling on to whatever little bit of Breaking Bad they can.

Basically all they want is a good Breaking Bad prequel.

In which case...........outside of Walter and Jesse............Gus and Mike are the 2 characters who embody the essence of Breaking Bad more than anyone else.

Yeah. Your opinion. It's the wrong one BTW. Just read the reviews and recaps all over the web.

Majority of the viewers love this show for all the narratives. Seeing how Jimmy is slowly degenerating has been pretty compelling for viewers. Especially because you know where it's headed and how he won't have Kim in his life anymore to ground him eventually.

Seems like you just want Breaking Bad 0 or Breaking Bad 2 and this was never meant to be either. So you probably should do yourself a favor and just stop watching this show.

Nah, I like the show........just think it'd be better if it focused more on Mike and Gus.

As much as people say they like seeing Jimmy's evolution into Saul, the show wouldn't be as successful or popular as it is if it solely focused on him.

Like it or not, Mike is the heart of the show..........not Jimmy.
 
I've just got round to watching the latest episode on Netflix, but can I just say how great the cinematography is for this episode.

This whole series is on a slow burn, but it's clearly leading up to something explosive.

Episodes appear on Netflix UK the day after they air in the US.

Yeah some pretty beautiful shots with Mike in the thunder cloud filled desert. Gilligan's cinematographer really knows how to take advantage of nature's most beautiful and overlooked visuals like the sky itself.

They atleast could have showed mike ending up following the tracker dude to gus's chicken joint at the very end.

Snooze fest overall tho

They couldn't maintain the theme of the show and do a show about Mike. Mike is too old. He broke bad in the 60's or something. I like Mike and he is one of the most interesting, if not the most interesting characters on the show, but his transformation is something different. Mike's been living on the other side a long time. His current story-line definitely represents a way in which he broke bad, but Jimmy is basically still a civilian. He breaks rules, but he hasn't broken yet. Jimmy and Mike's relationship parallels Walter and Jessie's to some extent.

Or maybe not, but that's my perspective.
