if the entire series is going to copy the BB playbook, i will lose interest, because following an unhinged meth maker is a lot more interesting than following his lawyer. Id rather watch BB season 6 than a copy of BB on a weaker premise. & right now, the most interesting character is mijo, not saul.
This, I think, is going to be the shows biggest hurdle. We know how his story ends (at least to a point) and we know some of what happens to him. So, in theory, much of this series is going to be back story for people that we already know and we already know what happens to. That is going to make keeping it fresh and interesting difficult.
