I'm really liking it, but not sure if I would like it as much if I never saw Breaking Bad.
The fourth episode was definitely the best so far and had the most humour. The cold open was great. Feels like it has found it's legs now. I will admit I was a teensie bit disappointed with the first three. I also felt it was a bit of a cop out to include Tuco. Why couldn't it just have been a new criminal? Felt gimmicky.
Love the exchanges between Saul and Mike. And yeah, the pressing charges/not pressing charges scene felt completely believable and organic to me. Mike's also a no-nonsense guy. I could believe him going from wanting to teach Saul a lesson, to realizing he's being used by the cops and not wanting part of that, seeing Saul was the lesser of two evils. And has been mentioned, he was previously a cop, he would understand the strong arm tactics they were using and might have reasons why he wouldn't want to be a part of that. a sort of disdain for police tactics like that.
