Random question and I apologize if it's been asked but is this a show you could get into if you never watched Breaking Bad?
I think so. There's going to be a lot of little Easter eggs in it for BB fans, but considering how the events of this show occur years before those of BB, you shouldn't need to see that series to enjoy this one.
Odenkirk is PERFECT as the sleazy downtrodden lawyer in BB. It will be neat to see how they take his more naive, morally conflicted character Jimmy McGill and turn him into Saul Goodman. Much like BrB, it should be an interesting ride.
No, but seriously, why haven't you watched Breaking Bad from start to finish yet? Do you even Netflix?
