Now that Better Call Saul is over for the year, any comments? SPOILER ALERT!!! [View all]
This post contains spoilers, you've been warned! 
Let me start by saying that I like the show. I really do.
However, I have to admit that the first season has left me a bit flat. Last night's show, in particular, was pretty lame, especially for a season finale. The Bingo meltdown was a bit overdone, and the return to grifting in Chicago went on way too long. I also don't think it was very effective in showing what made Jimmy turn away from the partner-track job at the big law firm in Santa Fe.
This show is so uneven - some of the episodes were really pretty good, and others, like last night, not so much. I know that the writers are giving themselves plenty of time to thoroughly develop the characters, back story, etc. but it really seems to be dragging. There was no cliffhanger last night, or any other major issue that needs to be resolved. It was kind of anti-climactic, to be honest.
I have confidence in Gilligan, et al to make this a great show, so I'll definitely tune in for Season 2. I keep reminding myself that Breaking Bad didn't start to reach true greatness until the second half of their second season, so I remain hopeful.
Anyone agree? Or am I just a turd in the punchbowl?
