Where's the Better Call Saul thread? Just watched Season 2 by Welcome to Omsk 06/07/2016, 3:25am PDT
I gotta admit, this is the most engrossing lawyer show I've ever seen. The family interactions in Breaking Bad were a bit too on the nose for me, kids make every family conflict cut and dried and the wife was a bit too frigid and stubborn, the husband too much of a hopeless nerd to really make me engage. Not fair, I know, just my flawed opinion. But watching Jimmy fuck up a relationship that's defined him practically from the cradle and seeing what lengths Mike will push himself to for a grandkid he knows will outlive him is about my speed and seeing the whole thing go...

At times it's TOO easy to identify with these characters, too easy to cringe and go 'oh god he's fucking up in a way that's overly familiar.' And the reasons check out - only family or a borderline out-of-league romantic interest in another tax bracket could make me operate so far outside of the world in which my assumptions work. I'd stay onboard for five more seasons just to see how far these guys crawl out on limbs, which I appreciated in Breaking Bad even if I couldn't really get behind the core characters. The whole dynamic of watching people's reach exceed their grasp flopped in Mad Men for me by season three because the show changed, but I'm hooked down to the sinker for this one.

I think the last courtroom drama or whatever, the last thing that had anything to do with the law that I watched all the way through its last season was Boston Legal and that was just for pre-bald Spader talking his way into sex in increasingly unlikely circumstances before the Blacklist came along to forever destroy his image in my mind. That had zero deeper appeal. This has heaps.
