I liked the first season and I'm liking this.


You get more appreciation of who Saul Goodman is, and the Mike Ehrmentraut story line is great. Way more than we learned in Breaking Bad.


It's not quite to the level of heartbreaking yet, but even without thinking about what happened to Saul in Breaking Bad it's hard to watch all the mistakes he's making.

Thanks for pointing out the day trader connection, I did not pick up on it.

This show is very well done but it takes a bit of prior knowledge. I was confused by the flashforward in the season 1 opener, but loved it this year, hopefully they will work more fastforwards in this season.

There is an after show this year that explains things that you may have missed, I will be sure to record next week.

The only complaint I have about this episode was the behavior of the cops while responding to the house robbery of the bald guy with the H2. Their suspicions of him were completely without basis. And I do not understand the significance of the hole in the wall behind the couch, it just looked like an abandoned air return line to me.

I was wondering about their suspicions too. But I think the camera angle showed the entire room in disarray EXCEPT for the area in front of the loveseat. It was completely clear. I think that showed that he had already moved the loveseat to check his secret hidey hole (where presumably the cash was stashed). When he moved it, it created the clean space in front of the loveseat.

The guy mentioned that some cash was missing. When the cop asked "How much cash?", he stopped himself and changed the subject. THAT is what tipped them off. The guy had detailed records of his baseball cards, but could not give an exact dollar figure for the missing funds.

He used one to disappear.
Thank you

Well now that I know it's the same guy, yeah, it's funny. I saw that episode 8 years ago when it first aired, how am I to remember every detail? Lol
