OP
This season has been the tits. It's the best show on TV right now, they are really killing it. Such great writing, great production and acting. I like the underworld aspects of Mike's story arc and business / personal life of Jimmy's story.
And unlike Breaking Bad, BCS has actually managed to create a strong female character. I love Kim, she's a great character and the show just would not work without her. I love her relationship with Jimmy. Great stuff.

Also, I am really liking Nacho, I want to see more from him.

This may be a bit much, but someone discovered that the first letter of each episode title this season could be an anagram of FRINGS BACK lol
It could be a bit out there, but there is precedence as season two of Breaking Bad did something similar leading up to the air disaster.
So is it possible that we will be seeing Gustavo make his appearance into the series during the finale? I fucking hope so, Gus was my favorite character on BB and, in my opinion, one of the greatest villains in television history.
Anyways, here is the anagram:
Fifi
Rebecca
Inflatable
Nailed
Gloves Off
Switch
Bali Ha’i
Amarillo
Cobbler
Klick
“Fring’s Back.”
That's not the order of the episodes, but still an intriguing theory. It also gains credence as we see Mike getting embroiled into the Salamanca family intrigues and we all know that Hector Salamanca's arch rival is the mysterious Gustavo Fring. It's possible Mike's dealings with Hector are what draws Fring to him. Mike eventually becomes Fring's top fixer and this may be how they start working together.

Yup. I like that it's not trying to rush anything yet. There's a lot of good storytelling to do.
And people forget that BB was mostly not that intense. I watched it as a serial since the first episode came out, and the first season was easily a slow burn as was the second. In fact, the first season had its hooks (the opener) and its merits, but really what made the series stand out that first season was trapping the audience into an expected conclusion and then springing Walter out of it with the totally unexpected.
Saul seems a little more layered and deliberate without relying on the mega-surprise as a crutch. And there's the occasional artistic shot, like I loved that sequence where Jimmy is looking out the window of his car and you could see the "one-legged air dancer" in the reflection of his window, egging him on. That was pretty cool.

What a disgusting human being 
It's more like a painting of Jimmy's life rather than a fast paced TV series imo. Which is why it doesn't really have great finales. This one was extremely predictable, but within the Better Caul Saul universe it makes total sense. It's just what you expect would happen.
Two seasons in, and the main character is still called "Jimmy" and not "Saul" yet. It's pretty funny. But it shows how deliberate the writers are being. And Jimmy's connection with Mike has been minimal at most to date, meaning the two have almost been leading separate stories in the series.
I was not a fan of how the season ended. Usually they are good about not being able to offer predictable plot twists, and that one was for me. But undoubtedly the next season will start with events leading somewhere unexpected.
It's definitely one of my favorite shows on TV now.

my exact thoughts Just finished the season now. Really liked it, absolutely love Mike's story with Hector and the cartel, going to be interesting to see him eventually meet and come into contact with Gus. Jimmy and Chucks story is heading for a tragic ending, what a smug prick Chuck is, love to hate him. Even though legally and (at times morally) he is in the right when it comes to his bro
Can't wait for season 3
