This show is great. I'm still surprised by how much I'm enjoying it. Really thought it was going to be a dud.

It's an almost shot-for-shot remake, but with different names and faces and locations. Like an alternate reality Breaking Bad.

Here's their Saul Goodman (Saúl Guzman)

..... and everyone just glossed over this?

this is so incomprehensibly funny it's taking inordinate amounts of time to compute how much of an F it will be in the LOFL

it may hit me tomorrow, i will black out driving and crash into a light pole, laughing my way into the 6th circle of hell

or once someone posts a link to video of this program

so do they just wait til a breaking bad episode comes out, and then watch it, and re-make it? Easiest writing job ever...? And they throw some more T 'n A in there too since it's Colombiano ... si ?

only about halfway through Monday's episode, but I feel like something like Chuck working with Jimmy could make any case he touches the property of HHM

and while typing this, Kim pretty much states that

I actually thought it was one of the weaker episodes of the season, even if it was the most "dramatic" yet. That final confrontation between Jimmy and Chuck was so pivotal, and Michael McKean just couldn't sell it.

I think he did alright. He's not as compelling a character as Jimmy/Saul or Mike, but I thought the tension was there.

Of course the series is missing a Walt, but good for them they're trying a different tack. It's almost unbelievable what a good guy Jimmy is at this point, though. Seems like he'll get ruthless starting in ep10.

His reading didn't seem at all convincing to me.
