I don't think you can compare 2 episodes to 5 seasons of character development.
Having said that though...enjoying it so far. Nice change of pace, really surprised to see Tuco back in it! Really interesting as I saw interviews with him saying how he'd love to have been in BB more but playing the character was incredibly demanding with how high energy it was.
The electromagnetism/mental illness with his buddy is kind of odd. Not figured that one out yet. Really looking forward to seeing how it progresses and getting re-aquainted with some existing characters from the old universe and new ones too.
I wonder how it will progress in terms of light heartedness or being quite dark and serious as the series progress. I remember series 1 and 2 of BB were actually quite light hearted and darkly comedic before it got more serious.
Also loving the fact that it's in 4k on netflix....it's like staring through a window. So sharp!
It's not the first weekly episodic that netflix has had, I believe they commissioned the new dusk till dawn series solely to be aired on netflix and that was also aired weekly. Makes sense really, they want people to stay subscribed year round rather than binging and cancelling.
