I expected more from the trailer, but there's nothing bad about it. It's a decent teaser.

I may be in the minority, but I found Saul to be a bit annoying in Breaking Bad (which I just watched all the way through for the first time within the last year and loved). That said, I'll still be there on day one to watch the premiere.

- Sepinwall: Review: 'Better Call Saul!' a 'Breaking Bad' prequel with promise *Spoilers*
But if I began watching "Better Call Saul!" as a skeptic, the first three episodes have mostly made me a believer. There are nods to the parent show — and those are among the more emotionally affecting parts of this young series — but "Saul" quickly learns to function as its own thing, rather than taking the easy approach of being "Breaking Bad, Episode 1: The Phantom Ehrmantraut."
 
I've heard great and positive things from people, so I'm confident it will be worth the time investment especially since it has a guaranteed chance at resolving more ambitious story arcs by having two seasons upfront.
 
That's some fighting words. I need to read it but does he mean BB's opening episodes or the series as a whole cause that would greatly alter the "wut" factor in response to that statement. I always thought BCS could be a solid show and worthwhile exercise, but that's some crazy high praise.
 
BrBa's pilot is one of the best of all time, and the first few episodes were just as riveting, so that's mighty high praise.
 
I'm so excited its unbelievable! I'm not even setting my bar high, I just really want to see these characters again and enjoy another well written Vince Gillian drama.
 
I binged watched BB last year and tbh the first season was not in the same league as the subsequent seasons. It was good but not as great as what followed in my opinion. So if Gilligan starts out BCS on the level that BB ended it might not even be that weird a thing to say.

Yeah that's what I was thinking too. Pilot was great but the rest of the season was only OK. They really came into itself in S2.
