Reply to comment by Bodmonriddlz in Unpopular Opinion: Better Call Saul is Boring. by [deleted]

Not defensive, just a common problem with people and this show I’ve noticed. If he’s actually doing that and watching it he can disregard my reply. If he’s not he can take the advice and give that a shot.

Idk why this guy is pretty upset with you. I’ve noticed a lot of shows lately are either embracing or rebelling on this issue overall.

Either you can sit and watch a show while not missing much by glancing at your phone, or you can glance at your phone then look up and go “wait what the fuck happened” after missing a minute.

Fair play. But telling someone they “need” to do something that they didn’t even mention or ask for in the first place…

I think it's great advice, considering the amount of times a phone can be a distraction. I've yet to see Better Call Saul, but when I do, I'll definitely take note that I must put my phone down and pay attention, thanks to that post. It's not only aimed towards OP, there are plenty of people like myself who can appreciate the advice.

I've seen BCS in totality and you 100% should focus on it, there's not a lot of wasted scenes

I mean. A lot of shows seem to be adapting to the “screen distraction” stuff lately. Either they give you some leeway with it, or don’t. It’s not him telling anyone they “need” to do it, but just addressing BCS as a show you have to pick up on details and non vocal cues.

Sure…isn’t that any TV show though? Like, I’d imagine OPs issue with BCS runs deeper than “I was sitting on my phone and didn’t get it” as the reasoning for why he/she doesn’t like the show. Instead of constructive criticism about BCS, it just resorts to “well something must be wrong with YOU if you didn’t like better call Saul.”
