Better Call Saul is a tale of two seasons. I understand the overarching purpose of the series is 'character development of Saul.' And season 1 managed to parlay that into an unpredictable mashup of memorable life events and comedic moments for Saul. Even though we know how he turns out in BB, Season 1 managed to deliver unpredictable moments that were critical in Saul's transition from good lawyer to bad lawyer. Season two Is WAY more melancholy, WAY more distracted with his relationships, and basically turns the chick lawyer into the main character. Odenkirk for best supporting actor.... Billy Bob Thorton's Goliath became what BCS should have become.

Probably the best TV show I have ever viewed in my entire life. I found myself in the same position I was in before i began watching HBO's 'Leftovers,' Ignorant to the shows existence, but wowed by each respective shows season 2 metacritic user ratings. After mustering up enough fortitude to begin viewing the 'lesser rated' season 1's, I had realized i had just found my two favorite shows. The Expanse, in my opinion, has brought suspension and character development since the first scene in season one, and haven't stopped progressing up till now (S02E10). If you can table the forced space diversity and apparent 'strengthening' of regional accents 300 years in the future, then you are in for an inviting treat. And also get over yourselves and your "syfy" boycotts 'cuz omg they made sharknado. This show perfectly balances macro geopolitical entities jockeying for position, individual character development of 10 main characters and introducing unpredictable sci fi elements while adhering to plausibly rationalized technology of the future.
