Just finished it. Definitely wasn’t as good as the show was but I still enjoyed it. It really shed some light on Jesse’s character and the struggles he went through.

It was ok I guess. Wouldn’t say I’m disappointed because I didn’t have crazy expectations going in. I’d imagine hardcore BB fans may see it as a let down if they were expecting more of a BB type show. It’s like a 2 hour epilogue where not a lot happens and the stakes never feel very high. Didn’t add much to Jesse’s story but did flesh out his character some more. Felt like there was a lot of filler. I think they could have accomplished the same with a 1 hr epilogue episode. I liked the cameos and the Black Mirror Easter egg.
I kept waiting for the plot to develop and then looked and saw it was already over an hour in and realized that was the plot.
I enjoyed it. Definitely felt like it wrapped up the series. The stakes could have been higher and agree they could have pushed the manhunt more but it was a good send off for the character.
It's not going to appease anyone who hasn't watched the show though.
I could watch a Pinkman in Alaska series.

I've never seen Black Mirror, what was the Easter Egg?
It felt tense to me most of the time when flashbacks weren't being shown. I felt like there were a lot of close calls for him. Not sure how I feel about him getting away tbh.

Todd played a Star Trek like character, an evil one, in an episode. There was a figurine that looked like him and possibly other characters from that episode in the tarantula tank.

It was a good film. I couldn't imagine having watched this film without watching the TV series however. I watched it with my friend who only saw S1 and she was asking questions the entire time.
Overall I thought it was a great wrap-up and it was nice to see the various characters from the past make appearances.
Really enjoyed it. Jesse Plemmons really nailed it with Todd. What a character

i thought it was boring but it wasn't bad. it was basically a long episode with not much going on, like the episode about the fly. I guess its easy to say it tied up loose ends, but I don't think there was anything about the BB finale that needed to be tied up.
I thought it was pretty good. Not unbelievable, but after not having any BB to watch for a while it was nice to get back into it.
Have you watched any of Better Call Saul? I'd say it's equal to BB in a lot of ways. If you're itching to immerse yourself in that universe again, then Saul certainly fits the bill. Awesome show IMO.

I enjoyed it but it wasn't quite up to the level of BB. WW was the MacGyver of drug dealers and that always made the original series a little more interesting.
I enjoyed Todd, so creepy and psychotic.
Overall, I think it was a nice wrap up, but I'm not sure it was really necessary. There's something to be said about an ambiguous ending.
