Just finished watching Season 2 on Netflix. I'm really surprised how good this show turned out. I mean, of course it's good with the talent behind it still, but I wasn't sure if it would captivate me like Breaking Bad does. And it is different than Breaking Bad. It's slower paced and there's not a big sense of urgency, but it does what Breaking Bad does best, it establishes and grows characters that you come to care about and villains that you hate. Mike's story is great and thrilling. Even though you know he won't die in this show, the show still makes you tense for him. And Jimmy's story is just as captivating, in a different way. Kim evolved into a good character as well.
When Season 1 ended, I thought it was good but it didn't make me want to tune in for a second season. I thought, okay so I can just fill in the gaps and assume he becomes Saul after that. But after Season 2, I can't wait to see more of Mike and Jimmy as they get deeper in the shit. Really looking forward to season 3.
