> [@davidm](#): > > I gather you didn’t like it. He’s a hero. He puts himself through the ordeal of watching this utter garbage, which he so clearly hates, so that he can provide the valuable public service of telling us how stupid the show we’re discussing and interested in is. He was actually worse in the Breaking Bad threads - basically hist posts amounted to “How can you idiots all think this show is so smart? Not me, I watch actual quality television!” but I’m too lazy to dig through the old threads for quotes. Here are some from last season of Better Call Saul: > [@Better Call Saul Episodes 1 and 2](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/better-call-saul-episodes-1-and-2/712074/46): > > I’m not too sure about this… Before the show aired, he was showing clear trepedation. He knew he was going to hate the show, and yet heroically made himself watch anyway. > [@Better Call Saul Episodes 1 and 2](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/better-call-saul-episodes-1-and-2/712074/194): > > Its problems like these that are making it difficult to watch this show. The same kind of stuff that made me quit Breaking Bad. > … > > I hate to sound like a dick, but I really don’t think the writers of these shows have an ounce of respect for the audience and expect the viewers to gobble down bowls of shit and beg for more. > > I bailed on Bad, and if things keep going the way they are here, will most likely stop this show as well. Too bad, I’m an Odenkirk fan. No, you can’t stop. Why would you stop watching a show you hate when you can go on threads about it and tell everyone how much you hate it? You must see it through to the end. > [@Better Call Saul Episodes 1 and 2](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/better-call-saul-episodes-1-and-2/712074/197): > > I hear ya\*.

There is a lot of stupid piling up. > > Now, I caught a _train-load_ of grief for supposedly shitting in Breading Bad threads, so I’m trying to point out exactly what I have a problem with in this show. > > It looks like I’m not alone in getting hit with the stupid. A little is fine, to move the story.
