But it's certainly not on par with BB, and I don't get those people who say they like it better. BB drew you in almost immediately, and after episode 1 you just knew it was going to be epic all throughout.
BB was, and will forever be the standard that great TV series' are held to. BCS is clearly a tier or 2 below IMO. I feel that if you didn't watch BB, you would have a much harder time getting into it since you won't care about the cameos or returning characters from BB. Part of the fun of BCS is how it ties into the storylines from BB that weren't fully explained (Hector, Don Eladio, etc). You really needed to have watched BB first, and I think people would appreciate it more.
Now quite as good as BB, but still a great show.

The hindsight is pretty rosy with BB. I always loved it, but IIRC the BB thread was full of complaints about episodes bein slow or whatever. I think people will come to appreciate BCS the same as BB, just not on a week-to-week basis.
