"Better Call Saul" is hands-down the best tv series available.

It is actually a serial movie on the AMC cable channel, and if you were a fan of the "Breaking Bad"series, then this is a prequel you should make an effort to get into. Its based on the life and antics of the drug lawyer, James McGill. Supposedly it is building into how he ended up as the guy defending pushers and dealers. He's both a freakin' idiot and a decent guy, doing right things for wrong reasons. Bob Odenkirk plays McGill.
Already 3 episodes into this initial season, it features many of the "Bad" characters in their formative modes. It is hilarious almost to the point of laughter, but as in "Bad", the outrageous situations contain an element of horror to pull you back.
The same director Vince Gillagan is conducting this mess, and it is terrific. Gilligan's use of dead space (time, actually) makes these vignette scenarios into masterpieces. The hang time in conversations is perfect. As a whole, television doesn't do much of that.
