I've thought the first four episodes have been amazing. I've been excited for this show since I heard about it because of the Breaking Bad ties, but it has definitely exceeded my expectations.
Yeah, I'm definitely enjoying it. Although it is feeling just a little directionless at the moment. It's still entertaining, but it's starting to feel a bit random in moments.
I can see how you'd think that, but I've enjoyed how they've laid the groundwork so far. They had to give us an idea of who Jimmy was before he was Saul, because right now they are two completely different people. Jimmy is trying to walk the straight and narrow, trying to establish a legit law firm under his brother's mantra of hard work and nobility. However, that's just not Jimmy's nature and that's an internal struggle for him. He's naturally a scam artist, and a criminal.
I think this last episode was a turning point in this show. When Betsy told Jimmy "you're the kind of lawyer guilty people hire", I believe that may have been the straw the break the camels back. He reluctantly took the bribe knowing it would disappoint his brother and "upon that rock he will build his church." I think now we'll start seeing the evolution into Saul. The billboard scam was fantastic.
