BB and GoT start fast, and they keep going at pace right to the end. BCS and TS start slow, and build to a crescendo.
Because of that difference in pacing, they may seem inferior, but they are probably the better series overall, because their pace allows so much detail and back-story to emerge. So Saul is slow, but much more detailed. The rise and fall of a gifted but deeply flawed individual.
I heartily recommend anyone who has not seen these four series, to try to watch them. They are all marvellous television.
