This seems like unfortunately a perfect example of where, you absolutely adore and love someone in their occasional supporting role in a popular TV series, and it's only when you actually see them taking center stage that you realize they were better in small doses.
I'm paraphrasing, but that reminds me of what one of the brains behind the Simpsons (Al Jean, I think) said about the Itchy & Scratchy cartoons — they are excellent in small doses, but after a few minutes, it just gets sad and repetitive.

I am concerned about that with Saul, but I'm also certain of Vince Gilligan's ability to make it work.
