It bugged me at first since it almost seemed like an imitation of the Sopranos or a Scorsese movie with those gumbah NY accents, but I have to agree. Those first two episodes I watched were very well done.
I hate everything Marvel/DC comics, but the first Joker was good. I think of this show like that. Not part of the crappy franchise.

Reading this comment reminded me that you've probably already seen Better Call Saul. If so, do you think the show represents the reality of many lawyers or is the show too made up? If you haven't seen it, you should! 🤠

I have probably watch the series straight through 2 or 3 times. I'm a big fan of everything Breaking Bad. Saul is sort of an exaggerated composite. I have known a few lawyers who have done things similar to him, but he's kind of over the top.
