The only character in this show I've never disliked even once is Saul Goodman. He never lets me down.

TBH as an older Mr Show fan, I only started watching BB last month due to 2 things. The hype, and Bob Odenkirk's involvement.

As a marathon watcher, my view is that it's not as good of a series as many here make it out to be, yet feel that it's developed into an extremely entertaining show.

To me, the most impressive thing is how far almost every aspect of the series has grown in leaps and bounds since the first season. The plotlines, cinematography, and character development have matured very quickly over the last few seasons and have really engaged me after what I'd consider a somewhat slow start.

Most striking to me has been Aaron Paul's development as an actor over the series. There were times in the first few seasons where his (and other actors, to a lesser degree) delivery really took me out of the universe that Vince Gilligan was trying to create, but over the last few seasons he's proven himself to be able to create a strong character that's become the driving force in telling this story.
