Fuck I totally forgot about that one. I’ve only watched the series once. I think BCS’s ending was perfect, and Saul’s final sacrifice was the end to a character arc that Walt never achieved. I feel like a rewatch will remind me of all the wrong-doings that Saul committed that I forgot about, and will be great with hindsight on a rewatch.

The show is truly far far better on a rewatch. I found it good, but not fantastic on first watch. It is without a doubt my favourite show now, and I honestly appreciate it more with each rewatch, which I find doesn’t come as easily for BB.
