Bit slow in the beginning and the end of season 5 was on par with Breaking Bad. Season 6 is too slow for me. Going to watch the new episode in an hour.
It's cool but it it's just way to slow. Not on the same level as Breaking Bad by far. That one got me on the edge every episode (after the slow season 1). I hated waiting a week and would watch the new episode on monday morning before work.
Other friends of mine who followed Breaking Bad, don't like Saul in the same way either.
One of the reasons that I like this show (and I am a big, big Breaking Bad fan) is that it is not a carbon copy of BB. There are certainly elements of Breaking Bad (via some of the same characters from said series who are imbedded in the show like Saul, Mike, Gus, along with other minor support players from the drug/crime world), but Saul has its own particular rhythm, pacing, and lighter comedic touches. I like the fact that I'm not on the edge of my seat every episode, because when the edge of your seat moments do come on Better Call Saul, they come with a wallop, carrying quite an impact.
