I'm hoping that even if you never saw one episode of "Breaking Bad," you could embrace this series. Our hero, so to speak, is about to get himself in something over his head and that's where the similarities should end. I really enjoyed the setup because we are introduced to the principle characters and the tensions. Saul/McGill could have been made to be a buffoon, but he is an ambitious lawyer who is knowledgeable in his craft. The problem is that he has no foundation and he has quite an edge. We are introduced to his principle client who appears to be a sought after paycheck. But unfortunately, he hooks up with a couple skateboarding con men and things are about to approach a downward spiral.
