It's fantastic, and such a gear change from Breaking Bad, yet in the same world, but examined in a totally different viewpoint.
What has made it so strong I think is the evolution of BOTH Mike and Jimmy, because you get a twist of the legal drama, and a bit of a police procedural with Mike. Both are such grey characters, but it rings as more authentic to me, at least.
Either way, it's a pretty amazing testament to the Breaking Bad crew to completely tackle a very different perspective of known characters and episode after episode being so good.
By season 4, it's going to get into the thick of things and be crazy when Gus comes around. I've been keenly looking for when we're going to get a Pollos Hermanos reference - even something subtle like a brief glimpse of a restaurant sign in the far background of a scene. It's a perfect means of cueing that Gus is hovering in the periphery and about to come into the storyline.
