If only we had this during the Soriano years. What could've been.

Those 20 or so seconds after Mike stopped the car from honking....tensest 20 or so seconds for me in 40+ years of TV watching.

Sorry. We know how Mike's story ends.  Took out a lot of the tension. The tensest 40+ years of TV watching was Hank in the car getting a cell phone call. "You have one minute."

Still can't wait for this show's return. And that was true even before I learned this:

Gus Fring is back, bitches.

Is this show good?

Yes. Crossing to great at times.

It is a spin-off from a very good show (Breaking Bad), that in my opinion spun off in an entirely different direction.  It is a pre-quell to "Breaking Bad" based on a character in the subsequent show.  The drama is understated, and the plot is possibly boring at times, but the character development is thoroughly engrossing.  "Breaking Bad" is about drug dealers.  There is no suggestion about drugs in "Better Call Saul", he is a lawyer who becomes the drug dealers' lawyer in "Breaking Bad".  Before that happens he has an office in the back room of an Asian nail salon.  His practice is a hand to mouth general practice with some small-time criminal and DUI cases.  It is not the kind of stuff that will keep you on the edge of your seat, but it is a true description of what a very large number of lawyers do.  He has a brother who is a business practice power lawyer, and who has contempt for the career of his younger brother.  There are side plots involving minor characters who (I guess) become "Saul's" clients.  For me the charm is knowing where the story goes without knowing how it gets there.

It's very good.

It's so good. For a TV show, they really get the law and the profession right for the most part, too.

You are absolutely right about the portrayal of the practice of law.  However, it is a little out there to have his office as the back room of a Vietnamese nail parlor.

Hmm.  April 10.  First night of Passover.  Oh well.  That is what the "record" function is for.

Recording Passover means you get to keep rewinding glasses of wine.

This is very smart, Stew.

While I support the wine aspect, I do not support the concept of making any Seder longer.
