I gave BCS a season and had no desire to watch the rest. Everyone keeps telling me to stick with it, but nah, it didn't do enough for me. I understand it gets better though.

It’s definitely not as good as BB, but nonetheless it definitely is worth sticking with. It’s more of a slow burn than BB, you get to see the evolution of Jimmy the ethical nice guy to Saul the crooked lawyer, as well as the full origin story of Gustavo and Mike etc. and the last half season offers some extra closure to the BB universe as it’s set after the events of the final episode of BB. Compare it to BB and it’ll always be unfavorable, but view it in its own right and it’s pretty decent.

Ace?
2 blinks for yes …..
Ever sine Pinkman told Heisenberg 'You don't want a criminal lawyer... you want a "criminal" lawyer'
Saul Goodman became pretty much a 'cult character' and a major protaganist in the Breaking Bad story.
Heard great things about BCS but there’s no way I’m sitting through 150 episodes of any series.
Saul is better for me. One of my all time favs.
Tbh you could skip the first 3.5 seasons of BCS and you wouldn’t miss much.
Pretty much every episode of BB felt important
BB was the OG, each episode had meaning behind it. It had criticism of being slow, but BCS was slower. But that’s not a bad thing, it actually fit in with the theme of the show overall. I can only recall on ‘weak’ episode of BB and that was the fly one but on a technical level that was so well done.
I think overall both are on par with each other. BCS feels more niche but BB is the daddy.

This is only true if you need a show to be driven by a plot full of danger to sustain your interest. BCS is much more driven by character development, and if you tune into that, there's plenty going on. I found it gripping from the first season.
I've rewatched both BB and BCS in their entirety. Both are great, but BCS is more satisfying second time around because it has more layers to it. And Gilligan is all the more skilled and assured as a storyteller after all the experiments he tried out in BB. He's so good and setting out little puzzle pieces at the start of an episode and putting them together by the end. It's a technique he starts to use in BB but does better in BCS.
I do love BCS but BB is better. I think Walt and Jesse delving gradually deeper into the meth business and criminal world is more gripping to me than Jimmy becoming Saul and his relationship with his brother, although when BCS is at his highest it really isn't far off BB at its highest.
BB comfortably
BCS was a consistent 7/10
BB had higher numbers on the regular
