1) I've never watched Breaking Bad. (Yeah, I know. I'm that guy.)
2) I saw the ad for this. Looked OK, but there was a guy in it who I wanted to punch, repeatedly. Turned out he's the main character. So...

lol... I'm that girl :) and I had the same thoughts about the main character lol. I enjoyed the first episode though. I like Raymond Cruz - it was nice seeing him play a role so different than his role in Major Crimes. And I love Lenny :)

I got a little confused since I never watched Breaking Bad. Were the opening scenes a flash forward to after Breaking Bad? Was that grumpy parking lot attendant in Breaking Bad? He's funny :)

Better Call Saul is a prequel. So all of this happens before Breaking Bad :) And, yes! That grumpy parking lot attendant is Mike--he was an important character in BB!

Thanks TG :) It was the time frame for the scene in the cinnamon bun shop and the scene where he's watching the recording of the better call saul commercials that confused me.

Was Mike a parking lot attendant in BB? Are there any other characters in BCS who were also in BB? Sorry for all the questions :(

No problem no bounce no play! :) No--Mike was a
"fixer" and Saul's PI in Breaking Bad
Reprising characters from BB so far are
Mike and Tuco. All the other characters we haven't seen before in BB.
