There was like three solid episodes and then Mike. I have to be honest, season 1 was just not good. I feel a little unsettled about that upcoming change, so I hope this show lasts for a nice handful of seasons first and that Jimmy/Saul's downward spiral takes a good, long time. (The Kettlemans were hilarious and I'll miss them.) :) But at some point we'll start to see him becoming the "criminal lawyer" that Jesse Pinkman recommends to Walter White a few years down the line.

I'm still loving this show and am so pleased it's doing so incredibly well in the ratings. ![]()
