To each their own, but I cant see how any Breaking Bad fan wouldnt love this show. Of course in today's age of binging, I'm not sure if picking it up now would have anything close to resembling what it was like to watch from the beginning. For me, I thought BB was the greatest series ever, had the best finale ever and was bummed when the show was finally over, BUT the saving grace was knowing that "Better Call Saul" was in the works, so I at least had curiosity from the jump. As far as the show went, the evolution of Jimmy becoming Saul was a part of it, but you also saw the back story of Mike, Gus, Hector Salamanca/Don Eladio and the "lab". Crazy Tuco and the psycho Twin assassins make their presence known for sure.
So yeah, 7 years ago and still suffering from Breaking Bad hangover, I gave it a shot and got hooked right away, never thought it was slow other than waiting a year and a half for season 5 to come out and then 2 years for season 6
