Seasons 2 and 3. A few years ago, I gave the first season a rating of about 7.5. It seemed a bit depressing, and I wasn't very impressed with the casting – putting this guy with a worn-out face in the lead role? It felt a bit weak (although he acts brilliantly). Plus, I expected the quality of the content to decline as a spin-off of Breaking Bad, but it turned out to be watchable, completely independent, and quite interesting.
I'll rate the second and third seasons at 8.5, and now I'm sure I'll finish watching them. This guy knows how to make a great series – I occasionally thought of the creator while watching. Everyone acts well, there are no more of those depressing scenes from Breaking Bad where the hero sits for ten minutes in close-up, picking his nose, but there is some logical action that nicely complements the dialogue. I watched the two new seasons, 10 episodes each, in one go over three days – for me, that's a good indicator, especially considering that I haven't watched series in a long time and didn't even feel like it. Then, I had another unexpectedly pleasant thought that the series isn't "woke" at all – zero racial quotas, zero LGBT quotas, zero sob stories about "those people" being oppressed by society. A few years ago, I wouldn't have even thought about this, lol, but after all the modern content, the simple absence of "cancer" is noticeable and perceived as a plus (of course, I didn't raise the rating for this – it's just like a cherry on top).
In general, it's good stuff if you like stories about conversations, cleverness, and fighting against a crappy life.
