dave.j Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 I feel people are wanting BB2 a bit much here. While I agree that the storylines are plodding on a bit much, I've found it enjoyable enough, I'd prob be piossed off watching it one at a time, but I watched the series in three sittings so enough went on to keep me interested. However one thing clear is that these writers really struggle with female characters. The women in BB were insufferable and Kim seems to be of a similar vein. I felt that BB was a bit over dependant on huge events and forced tension, am happy enough for this to be going a different path. However I don't buy Chuck's latest ploy to get Jimmy, he just happens to have a tape recorder lying about despite the electricity thing, it's all a bit bollocks really. Hopefully they'll do another series but it'll be more about Jimmy's seedy law pratice as I think there's value there. He had all his electrical stuff stored in the garage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strong, likeable and well written. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banana Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 (edited) Yeah, not getting the Kim hate, one of the main successes of the season along with Mike imo. Skylar was an insufferable character, but a well-written and well-played insufferable character. Weird to highlight and handwring the writers' showing insufferable women characters when the show was almost wall-to-wall 'morally grey' and outright nasty men.

scottsdad Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 I enjoyed season 1 of BCS more than season 1 of BB. The same cannot be said for season 2. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
port-ton Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 I'm not buying the people who say people who don't enjoy it must be expecting Breaking Bad etc. I'm willing to bet that to a man, every single person on this thread who has not been impressed with season 2, absolutely loved season 1 which was also nothing like Breaking Bad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fide Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Season 1 had more humour than Season 2 I felt. And that's, by and large, what a lot of people loved about Saul Goodman in Breaking Bad - no matter how grim things got, he provided a laugh. Remember towards the end of season 1 when he tracks down that family who are camping out with all that cash? Piss funny. There's been nothing like that in season 2. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boostin' Kev Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 That's a good point. I remember saying last season that I didn't mind the fact that not much was happening because I always found SG to be a funny character. The more sombre tone of season 2 doesn't suit him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deeboy Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 I think Kim is an excellent character. Strong, likeable and well written. An absolute 'wid' too. Especially so in the episode where they sign for the 'practice' building. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fide Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 An absolute 'wid' too. Especially so in the episode where they sign for the 'practice' building. I wholeheartedly concur. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

accies1874 Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 (edited) That's me just finished season 2. I thought the final couple of episodes were quite good. The rest was just a bit meh, though. Edited June 23, 2016 by accies1874 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacGafraidh Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 I am just curious to see how he morphs from Jimmy to Saul? And will we have any more Breaking Bad Cameos? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Kebab Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Think a major player from BB will be appearing in Season 3, especially if you look at the titles of Season Two's episodes!!!SwitchCobblerAmarilloGloves OffRebeccaBali Ha'iInflatable FifiNailedKlickTake the first letters from each episode...SCAGRBIFNKFRINGSBACK 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrestersKTID Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Just finished the second season. Really enjoying it. Mike's scene at the end with the rifle was tense. Majority of his scenes have been great. Chuck is a weirdo but mega smart. Michael Mckean does a great job it's crazy to think he's the lead singer from spinal tap 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
