(12,799 posts)I think I have to wait. I watched Breaking Bad for the first time that way -- beginning to end. That was absolute viewing perfection.

(26,344 posts)In December 2013, Netflix announced that the entire first season would be available for streaming in the U.S. and Canada after the airing of the first season finale, and in Latin America and Europe shortly after the U.S. series premiere.[35] In Australia, Better Call Saul premiered on the streaming service Stan[36] on February 9, 2015, acting as the service's flagship program.[37] In the United Kingdom, Ireland and Brazil, the series was acquired by Netflix on December 16, 2013[38] and the first episode premiered on February 9, 2015, with the second episode scheduled for release the following day. Every subsequent episode will be uploaded each week thereafter.[39]
The show's series premiere became the biggest in cable history, drawing in 4.4 million and 4.0 million in the 18-49 and 25-54 demographics, respectively. [40]

(1,858 posts)The new episodes will be available internationally on Netflix only after they have aired on AMC. So it won't be a whole season dump. Each episode will be released shortly after their air date.
This is from the article cited in Wiki. The Wiki contributor made a mistake.
"The show will be available to stream in the U.S., Latin American, and European markets once it has already aired on AMC. According to Variety, the entire first season of Saul will be available on Netflix in the U.S. once the finale airs on AMC, while customers in Europe and Latin America will be able to watch episodes just a few days after they air."

(11,833 posts)I hope I can stream a bunch of them soon.

(16,230 posts)I was into it before most people ever even heard of it.
The anticipation, having to wait for the next episode, is a big part of the fun. Also, you don't have to worry about spoilers.
Since then, I have binged the whole thing again, and I will probably do so again some day, but I'm glad that I originally saw it spread out over the years.
lovemydog
(11,833 posts)Will definitely stream it though. Everyone raves about it.

(16,230 posts)You'll probably enjoy BCS more if you know the whole BB story. Also BCS does have some BB spoilers.

(3,747 posts)It's so much better when you're forced to wait and watch a series evolve and grow over the years. You really get to know the author, and there's often a really good community around them.

(56,829 posts)then I DVR'd an AMC marathon and binge-watched it. While I agree that the anticipation is a big part of a great show, I am guessing that I would have forgotten at least some of the minor bits in Breaking Bad during the wait between seasons. So, binge watching for me worked out well.
Great show, though, and some fantastic writing and plot development.

(17,621 posts)I missed the Monday episode; I'll try to catch it next week if they show it before the new episode.
We have a "personal injury" lawyer here in town who puts ads on the sides of the buses. So his face gets seen all over town!

This, like BB, does that better than anything I have seen on screen, ever.
NewJeffCT
(56,829 posts)especially his comment at the end when they whined to him, and then he said he was the best lawyer because of how he did a great job negotiating their execution down to a broken leg.
