Tried on the other board to talk about this one, didn’t have many other viewers though.
Any of you watch this show? I haven’t watched a ton of TV shows, but it’s my favorite that I’ve seen. Such an excellent story from the first to the last episode.

It's a great show and was in contention for being my favourite show of all time. The earlier seasons I think are some of the finest TV ever made. They really dropped the ball with the final season though. While the production and acting were all top notch as usual, the writing became far too predictable and dumbed down. Overall still a great show and companion peice to BB though, it's just sad to think of what could have been.

My brother and my sister’s fiancé (two separate people, don’t worry) both feel the same. I found the sixth season a perfect inevitability for what was to come. A price of sorts for making it a prequel. Even that makes me sound down on it, but I really loved it. Watching it live was one of my favorite memories of the past couple years media-wise. They seem most irked by Lalo’s demise, which I can understand. Was that one of the larger issues for you too?

I have mixed feelings. I loved the first season and it felt like BrBa was back. The next couple or so held up, but I feel like they really started to drag out the story and stretch the prequel element thin. You know those meme videos about Star Wars, where Ben Kenobi randomly goes "Did I ever tell you about X?" and it's some incredible thing shown in the prequel trilogy/shows/spinoffs never once mentioned in the OT? That's kinda how I feel about stuff in this, like that little subplot where Saul gets kidnapped in the desert and has to drink his own piss. Small potatoes, right? Saul can reference that time he told a girl he was Kevin Costner to get laid, but who cares about that little moment where he witnessed someone he's known for years get shot in the face and crack their head open on his dining room table.
It sort of bounced back in the last season, but that was put in the awkward position of cramming the ending of the prequel story in the first half and doing a sequel story in the second when it really could have just been seasons 4 and 5. It's insane to me that they made the show six seasons when BrBa only had/needed five.
