Just finished Breaking Bad (probably the greatest TV series I've ever had the privilege of viewing) and now I want to get into the spin off. Where can episodes be viewed? Seems Hulu and Netflix are out, so are there any other places I can watch from the first episode?

TIA
and GFYIA to those who post just to whine and bitch

Better Call Saul is the greatest pilot season I've ever seen.

This will be the show that makes white people shut up about breaking bad, the show that made white people shut up about the wire.

It's excellent but a much different pace than BB. It seems like everything in this season is setup but I love it.

Never watched The Wire. Really just started watching TV after marriage, need something to do while she's watching Teen Mom, Nashville and whatever else she chooses to torture with.

BB is my favorite of all time and I was very skeptical of Saul, but I must say it's terrific and along with Frasor might be the best spinoff I've ever seen.

Love the characters and where it's going

Just remember like mentioned above, separate the two and just enjoy the ride. Nothing compares to BB so don't try

AMC is pretty protective of their stuff. Most recent four episodes are on their site LINK, but i don't think there is a legal way to see the rest.

I'm not worried about the pace, that's not why I loved BB. Good stories take time to develop.

And yeah I saw those episodes on AMC but I'd rather start from episode 1.

I got caught up with the "On Demand" that Comcast has.

There's only 1 episode left in Season 1.

Just wait til they run thru them again.

yea other than the Taco episode, Saul hasnt been beat up or had a gun in his face.

the pace seems right and you don't have all those 5 minute scenes of Walt having "family time" like BB 1.

I agree. I've had some friends complain its a little slow and are wanting it to pick up, so I tell them to watch Breaking Bad (why people are watching Saul before giving Breaking Bad a shot is mindboggling )

Breaking Bad was able to go at a faster pace because Walt gets an expiration date in the pilot and is rushing to save up money for his family before then. And even then the pace isn't very fast.

And while Breaking Bad definitely had a lot of black comedy in it, Saul is much more focused and overt with its humor, so it can go slower with the action because of the comedic elements.

Some of the quips Saul has are truly amazing. The "Hail Satan" last week had me

If you have an android phone (not sure if it is on Apple or not) the HD Cinema app has all of the episodes, I use localcast to stream from that to my Chromecast.

I was so disappointed in my Chromecast since I have a smart TV already and it does a lot of the same things. This app has made my purchase of Chromecast totally worth it

Eta: here is the thread describing how to use it. Believe it explains using on a iPhone too but haven't gone back through and read it

These shows are absolutely brilliant. The plot intricacies are clever and well thought out. They have tremendous patience in holding out things for several episodes and even on to the next season(s).

Even the camera work is fantastic. Filming Chuck and Jimmy on the park bench from behind them is incredible. We see shots like that in shows but not when there is no plot purpose for it.
