Tonight, “Better Call Saul” aired its season 1 finale, and it was … odd. No offense to the Marco character, but we were shocked to take such a long detour from everything in Albuquerque to bring Jimmy McGill all the way back to Chicago. To think that learning the meaning of the Chicago sunroof was […]
Is Jimmy McGill good enough to be a lawyer? What is good enough to be a lawyer? After watching “Better Call Saul” Monday night, these are questions worthy of discussion. For Chuck McGill, he follows the Tao of Good Lawyers, or what he believes it takes to be one: Busting your butt, following the rules, […]
The further into “Better Call Saul” we get, the more that we are enjoying this series as a whole. The characters are becoming more complex, and it turns out that this story of “elder law” is becoming something far more substantial. It’s about to turn into the biggest case of Jimmy McGill’s life. Through some […]
After an episode of “Better Call Saul” last week that really focused for the majority of the time on Mike, we saw the AMC series go in a slightly different direction for Monday night’s new episode. After all, Jimmy McGill had managed to slither his way back into the spotlight for what was a heck of […]
Remember when Jonathan Banks was nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award a couple of years back for season 5A of “Breaking Bad”? He may be getting another nod this year for “Better Call Saul,” based on his performance alone in Monday’s “Five-0.” This was, without question, the strongest episode of the series to date. The […]
We have made it to the midway point of “Better Call Saul” season 1, and for the most part, we arrive here with one major reaction: Entertained. It is still clear to us that while this is no “Breaking Bad” in terms of gut-punch impact, this is still a remarkably enjoyable show, and quite possibly our […]
Just in case you’ve been waiting for “Better Call Saul” to have a breakout scene, we feel like we had it tonight during “Hero.” It was something so completely ridiculous that only Saul Goodman / Jimmy McGill could have come up with it, and by the end of it, we were grinning from ear to […]
Three episodes into “Better Call Saul,” this show is clearly going to be very strong. While we’re not entirely sure that it has captured all of the magic of “Breaking Bad,” it really doesn’t need to. That show was one in a billion; even if this show is one in ten thousand, it is still really […]
Tonight, “Better Call Saul” had an incredible challenge: Trying to follow up on the extremely strong premiere with a second episode that was just as strong as the first one. This show did bring quite a bit to the table once again, and we feel like above all else, it satisfied in showing us one […]
For several weeks, we have campaigned for “Better Call Saul” to premiere with a flash-forward. That way, we could see what Saul Goodman’s life had become after the events of “Breaking Bad.” Without that tease of where we were going, the past would not have that same fervor to us. Luckily, in the opening moments […]
