2. not without watching BB first.
It took me three attempts to get past S1E1 of BB, just couldn’t get into it. I’m glad I did as the whole thing (BB/EC/BCS) is incredible. It’s a masterclass in story telling.

just because you do, doesn't mean you should.
2. Yes, the pace is very different, more drama than drugs.
You probably should have persisted w BB, it takes at lest 3 episodes before alot of (not all) good series "click" and BB is one of them.
The entire point of the beginning is the mediocrity of WW life.

Never even bothered with 'saul.
Didn't like the sopranos either.
And I'd argue that Seasons 1 of True Detective and season 1 of Westworld give it a close run too.
That said plenty of people who prefer BCS to the other, but for me, BCS just doesn't have that additive quality that BB has.
But what's especially remarkable about it from a modern perspective is just how little 'action' there is. Virtually all the blood and guts take place off screen, with most of the viewing time spent in dialogue between the characters, and that dialogue and the way it is delivered is utterly gripping.
Isn't it a tiny bit ‘booby’ though ? Not an issue for me of course but I don’t want the Mrs to see this as me starting the slippery slope to watching porn :-)
1. No. Doing so actually cause me more confusion in in terms of trying to follow the timeline in some ways
2. Yes absolutely. The expanded plot-line / plot-lines (with both the old and new characters) stand on their own merits, and are really bl**dy good
(fully IMHO of course.. )
The first scene of the first episode does, in fact, have some topless African dancers, but after that, there's very little. Sheila White gives us a quick flash as Messalina much later on, and we get a similar treat from Caligula's sister/lover once he becomes emperor and completely loses it. In one episode, Caligula also organizes a compulsory orgy so that he can then condemn the participants, and I think there may be a little stray booty around in that scene. But apart from that, I think you're pretty much home free! Quite frankly, I don't think there's much in it that would compare, nudity-wise, with the average Netflix crime drama.
