While waiting for the next season of Better call Saul, I'd recommend Your Honor. On Sky,

My son's criticism of it is that in Breaking Bad, Bryan Cranston, takes several series to go from well-meaning to bad, In Your Honor it's just the first episode.
It's just 10 episodes, a bit too intense to binge and tightly written.

Watching Snowfall? Haven't seen Your Honor, added yo my todo. But Snowfall is nearest thing to BB of current offerings I've seen.
Some of the camera work is brilliant.

What I find bizarre is that people assume because Bryan Cranston was great in BB that everything he stars in automatically has to be fantastic and the same character. Admittedly he’s done a lot of good stuff, but it’s not automatic that it has to be great and be loved just because he was in BB.
Very true. For proof of this, check out Cranston's pre-Breaking Bad series "Malcolm in the Middle." I tried watching it back when it first aired but it was dire.MadmanO/T People said:

Cranston is a versatile and incredibly talented actor (as per how he was spotted for BB by vince, that brief cameo in XFiles).
Yes anything Cranston now stars in won't necessarily be great, but he can pick and choose now, so chances are it will be decent.

Amazing that I've only just found this thread despite watching BCS from the very start.
Was in the middle of watching it again so was trying to pace the thread with what I'd rewatched. Have now finished it and cannot wait for Season 6, at least they've started filming

No-one else seems to have mentioned it but the look on Mike's face in S5E5 when Senora Cortazar walks in and hands him a phone charger

Nothing to do with Better Call Saul, but a surprising role for its star: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZti8QKBWPo
(at least surprising for me)

Not a bad watch but not particularly great either. I did enjoy it but I suppose the John Wick films are so much better, they just outweigh it significantly. IMO, of course!(at least surprising for me)
Anyone have any idea when S6 is out? I am loving this spinoff. Probably more than I enjoyed Breaking Bad! Fantastic stuff and at a great pace!

Beeb haven't picked it up, but new season of Snowfall is showing over the pond.
Wonder where it goes, I thought last season would have made an excellent way to end it...Beeb haven't picked it up, but new season of Snowfall is showing over the pond.

I found 'Nobody' so entertaining I watched it twice in consecutive evenings... with my internet addled attention span that hasn't happened in a very long time. (at least surprising for me)
I think I actually prefer it to John Wick, though I do love those films too...
Bob Odenkirk has collapsed on set filming Better Call Saul, no other news on his condition. He'd better be ok

Just saying he’s awake or stable or whatever would still keep things private.
The lack of any update like that makes me think he’s had a stroke and/or is in/about to go in to surgery. You don’t end up in hospital for 24+ hours due to heatstroke or fainting.
i don't know many celebrities gone into hospital, but jumping to worst case is as much as jumping to best case, lets see.The lack of any update like that makes me think he’s had a stroke and/or is in/about to go in to surgery.
