So I know I'm not the only Burqueño watching. Those who are, are you enjoying it so far?

I'm liking it. The writing is just as solid as I thought it would be, and with Bob Odenkirk as the lead, it makes for a very entertaining hour of TV (a rarity these days, IMO).

I'm glued to the TV with the VCR running as a backup. So far, I'm loving it.

Local here, I think it's excellent, that last one was a good episode! What I like is that it stands on its own and does not try to be Breaking Bad, even though I liked Breaking Bad.

I haven't seen it yet since I am in Luddite mode and not looking much at screens these days, so that is good to hear.

Spin-offs often seem to struggle upstream weighed down by the legacy of the show they came from and most of them aren't even given their own foundation to work off of, but rather seem like a way to some quick cash for the network. I hope BCS can stand on its own.

I really like it so far. Good writing, beautiful cinematography. But I was a BB fan, so appreciate the whole backstory premise and loved it when Tuco showed up. If I try to remove my familiarity and approach it as someone who never saw BB, I don't know that it has the same effect, but I hope it does.

Looking very promising so far. I was listening to an interview today with Bob Odenkirk and he mentioned one of the upcoming episodes gives us a lot more info on Mike's background. Said it was as dark an episode as any on Breaking Bad. I can't wait.

The only bummer for me is that it doesn't air on my cable company until 11:00pm which is way past my bedtime so I have to DVR it and try not to pick up any spoilers so I can watch it on Tuesday night.

I don't get AMC, will probably eventually watch it on Amazon Prime or Netflix streamed to the TV.

I love how they brought that psycho lunatic Tuco back into the same character role, along with his lovely abuelita. "Club Soda!"

I had sweaty palms for 10 minutes last night when he was climbing on that billboard.
