This whole pacing problem with this series will kill it

For what's it worth, I always find your posts rushing. Or dragging. Try again. Try again!!

Tell me again that story when at Saratoga Harvey Pack threw the crumpled up Racing Form at a young The Little Guy after TLG gave out a 6/5 shot as an immortal lock which ran out of the money (and TLG used this experience as fuel to become one of the greatest Public Handicappers of All Time). What an inspiring story.

I wanted to like the movie and at some level it was ok. The movie was kind of derivative-Officer and a Gentleman meets Rocky at Fame High School.

Perfect slime ball ambulance chaser in the title role. Mike has the requisite dark past, some zany characters but no significant plot, as yet, besides Lawyers v.s. lawyer.

And when does the blonde with the husky voice... (Fill in the blank(s) ) ?

Needs some sizzle...

Rumors are that Gus will make an appareance at some point. Always one of my favorite characters in BB. Jesse or Walt as well? We'll see. We are supposed to be back in 2002 in the "Querque."

Easy money says Jimmy gets fired for the commercial. I say he weasels out of it.

Damn 46 inch screen with HD blew up yesterday, so I missed it. Have to get the new one before next week.

Yeah it's a little pedestrian in pace. How much of a story is there going to be for a lawyer that has 1 liners? He reaches Rodney Dangerfield status and I love it but telling that story might be pretty boring!

I enjoyed the first season.
Missed the first couple of the latest episodes,
so I was lost when I came in on the middle
of the show last night. I'll catch up on netflix.

We're still watching it but this season has been dragging a little.

Thus far Jimmy seems like a poor, lost guy just trying to make his way (but with a con man past).

Not really much like the parent series.

Haven't seen you in a while on here. How's the new RD (Belterra)?

Jimmy/Saul can't help himself. He made it-great job, etc but he can't help himself, has to take the off the road route.
I'm enjoying the show, last season got real good at the end.

Saul/Jimmy= Sammy. I like watching the transformation of Sammy into Saul. Pretty good show. I think the commercial will be his last chance. I'm enjoying season 2.

I guess the alternative to that is his tv commercial is so successful and within the bound of the law that he moves up even further. He obviously likes the tv outreach and has his band of UNM students.
The other interesting bit was mike and nacho.
