I feel like people who say BB is all tension and action only remember the second half of Season 5.
BB season 1 is more slow paced and gets into Walts head more than anything in Saul.
I remember all of it. In the first episode alone he goes from a science teacher to a guy who is killing drug dealers with toxic gas, getting shot at and ready to have a standoff with incoming police sirens. Throughout the rest of the show he blows up drug dens, has to scramble to find his product before a drug deal so that he doesn't end up dead, uses ricin to murder countless people, accidentally causes a plane crash and uses a paraplegic to blow up a rival. I didn't even have to mention anything that happened in season 5 Its tense and full of action all the way through. And I definitely disagree that BB does a better job of getting inside the protagonist's head
