To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Better Call Saul. The drama is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of narratology most of the story will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Jimmy's colorful outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Aesop's fables, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of the story, to realise that they're not just silly- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Better Call Saul truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Jimmy's famous "Chicago Sunroof," which itself is a cryptic reference to Jimmy shitting through a sunroof. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Vince Gilligan's genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them.

And yes, by the way, i DO have a Chicanery tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel, kid.

If yes then i must push on how absolutely boring it is, how the characters are not relatable or entertaining, its so mindnumbingly slow that it pushed me to watch the show at 2x (something i never do out of respect for cinema). The pacing is just bad, the background always being the dessert messes with you in a strange way, none of the heavy moments felt heavy, the big reveals were just written badly (spoiler: Walt admitting to jessie how he saw his girlfriend die). I watched the whole show because i kept waiting for it to get good, I was especially excited for the last episode as it’s the highest rated episode and I watched that. It only made me feel like the reason that episode was good because the rest of the show was that bad. It was still predictable though I could tell jesse would survive and walt won’t. I simply did not enjoy the show as much as it was hyped and oh best show ever, like i’ve seen worse-rated shows be so much more entertaining than this. Just an opinion th0, i know it’s a loved show but just not for me i guess

edit: a few parts of a few episodes of season 2 and 3 on 2x because it was getting that boring and slow and i just wanted to get through it so i can get to the end.
If you keep saying 20 yr old brain rot tiktok addicted (when i don’t even get tiktok in my country) it’s not going to make a point, make a nuanced point at least I don’t even like short form content I usually watch long form youtube videos or tv shows, movies on like weekends and i read books every now and then
The problem is not the attention span. I did not say this is the worst show of all time, it’s not worth the hype according to me and I personally dislike it.
A lot of people asked me about what do i like and I don’t understand why is it that people can’t accept that someone didn’t like the show till they ask about their preferences just so they can say wow your preferences suck no wonder you didn’t like it, so no i don’t want to do that let the opinion remain about this one tv show.

So I (44m) went to my lawyer's apartment to tell them to shoot my rival, and there was a bystander there (probably another lawyer discussing business matters). I shot him because he wouldn't leave in time and he insulted my lawyers. They're saying he had nothing to do with our business. But he insulted them. Am I the Asshole?
