good so far

I typically appreciate the week to week release schedule for shows that have a lot of material to chew on... Better Call Saul is a prime example. But for this type of show, its challenging to have to wait week to week, espeically given its short 21-23 minute runtimes. With each episode picking up right where the last left off, having to wait a week to reenter the scene iis definitly uncommon these days.

I've generally had a good sense of the plot direction so far. The earlier episodes were somewhat predictable and I hope that we can move past that in the final half. Steve Carell is good, per usual. Want to see him in more movies.

This is the first episode where I was not fully invested in what was going on. They seemed to take their foot off the gas a bit with the story that was being told.

Yes, someone tied up in the bathroom did an add an important variable to the mix as the Dr. Now has the pressing danger right in front of him.

The conversations were just boring though. I mean, I get that the guy's life was in danger, but his acting and dialogue felt forced and whiny. I have to wonder if this is actually some kind of test or something and not actually someone that Sam is seriously contemplating murdering.

This is still a good show, but today's episode certainly felt a little bit sluggish and boring.
