Anyone who knows me here knows that I hate literally everything on the entire planet except for like, steak, Ween, alcohol, 3% of video games ever and a few TV shows here and there. That said, I was SUPER skeptical about this show when it was announced. It sounded so forced and goofy.

BUT, it's turned out fucking AMAZING. The season finale was last night, and the whole season was just fantastic through and through. I've always loved Bob Odenkirk, and I've liked Michael Mckean even longer, so it was just a treat seeing them share the screen back and forth. The rest of the cast does well with their roles and the whole story is just top notch. Give it a chance, fuckers.

First off, what the fuck is Ween? Secondly, I was also quite skeptical about this show but I will check it out. Did hear that Jesse might be coming back for the next season?

It's a different feel than Breaking Bad but I've really enjoyed it too.

Me and folks I know where pretty skeptical as well, but it's been a very solid first season. Having Saul and Mike onscreen provides for some good familiarity from Breaking Bad, but as Josh said, there are enough other new characters and developments to keep the show interesting. Definitely not the cash grab I first viewed it to be.

As an accountant I loved the whole treasurer scandal subplot.

I don't think I was quite as skeptical going into the show, but I was definitely surprised by how drawn to it I have become. I was kind of afraid last nights episode was the finale, only because I want more of it sooner than next year. This show, Walking Dead, The Americans and to a lesser degree Last Man On Earth are the only current shows I've been keeping up with consistently.
