Looking back at the early seasons it's amazing how well they wrote Howard. Great example of how to write an antagonist who isn't a bad guy. You expect him to be this slimy stereotypical evil lawyer that Jimmy gets to make look foolish but he's actually a very good and honest person and you feel bad that he's getting caught up in the McGill drama.

When I re-watch the show, I start feeling even more and more sympathetic toward Howard, who I initially didn't like (I think it's easy to dislike Howard, but they also sort of "want" you to, at least at first). I understand why Jimmy hates Howard throughout, but Howard really isn't that bad a guy most of the time.

That trashcan scene is perfect. Her not judging his frustration. The intimate cigarette sharing. Finishing each others thoughts. And her cleaning up after him. So much shown. So much rich character work. And only two lines of dialogue. In a lesser show someone background or side character would infodump their shared history and how often Jimmy comes to this place and why. They'd wonder if Kim and Jimmy would make another go at it. I hint at a bad brakeup. Nothing would be there for the audience to just process and appreciate. Everything would be spelled out.

Absolutely, I love how much work that bin does in establishing who the characters are! I think the garbage bin also works as a visual metaphor for how Jimmy feels about himself: it has a mirrored surface, so Jimmy literally sees himself in this smelly can of garbage that's kept in the basement of his brother's firm. Kicking the bin is an act of internal violence as well as external - he's figuratively beating himself up. By putting the bin back together Kim is fixing Jimmy's mess, but she's also trying to fix Jimmy himself.

Vince really has a talent for showing off the full range of actors who often were getting pigeonholed before. People knew Bryan Cranston was capable of playing a criminal but most people knew him as a silly character. Saul in Breaking Bad is arguably a very silly character, but BCS really deepened the character in a way that, in my opinion, improves Breaking Bad

Very cool. I imagine it was incredible to work with people making a masterpiece. I'm no cinematographer, but with this show, the shots are so well thought out and unusual, I would sometimes pause the show and ask, "What is this shot trying to say?" More often than not, the way the scene was shot had a lot to say about the scene itself. One minor example: There was an establishing shot taken through the netting of a basketball hoop and I paused, thinking, "Now why would they want to film through that thing?" And of course there was a logical answer. I was learning the Gilligan / Gould method of visual storytelling.

Gilligan said at comic con that he's been playing less of a role in S4, and even S3 than he was in the beginning, and indeed if you look at who writes and directs each episode, Vince is writing or directing about 1 episode (out of 10) per season. While he obviously has contributed greatly to the show, he himself said "thank Peter Gould and the rest of our wonderful writers, not me".

It is great to truly see people appreciate this show and understand what Gilligan and the team are doing with the origins of Saul Goodman and giving room to this new universe that is separate from Breaking Bad. I've been watching this show since 2015 after I had finished Breaking Bad the year before and I have continued watching it from the first season to the third season and I'm amazed by it. The third season has to be my favorite out of the last two seasons Jimmy and Chuck's relationship skyrockets into an emotional roller coaster ride there is so much bitterness and hate between them I cannot help but side with Jimmy compared to Chuck. Chuck has grown on me as someone I completely despise and really have a displeasure of witnessing on screen although this season tried to toy my emotions with Chuck in so many ways but I can't help but view him as a horrible egoistically virus against Jimmy and his own aspirations and successes. Jimmy is becoming Saul more gradually then before but what I love is that they show him more as a scam artist at times and not so much the lawyer that we all know and love from Breaking Bad. It is refreshing to see a different Saul try out new things before actually being associated more with criminals and establishing himself as a criminal lawyer. There is still a consequence within this character though as he is not completely morphed into Saul Goodman yet he is still Jimmy McGill I think that Jimmy and Saul symbolize Dr.Jekyll and Mr.Hyde they present themselves on and off as both a human and monster fighting inside this character and which direction this character will follow towards going forward. It is an incredible show and it is stronger on its own as a prequel people automatically think of Breaking Bad and Saul Goodman and they don't have the patience to fully understand this man's personal life and struggles and what he actually was before Walter White and Jesse Pinkman came into the picture and it is unfortunate. Breaking Bad had a slow pacing and it wasn't until season three that the ground kicked off with Walter White and Gus and everything going on around them this is exactly what Better Call Saul's third season established for us as viewers and the writers start to become comfortable with where they are going with this character and characters and the events that we have yet to see. I'm pissed that I have wait another year what a finale!

I had never watched a single episode of Breaking Bad or BCS. One evening I saw BCS on the Netflix line-up and decided to take a look. I was immediately taken in by it, I didn't want it to end. I started binge-watching, three or four episodes a night. Netflix only had the first three seasons so when I got to the end of season three I frantically searched to find where I could get Season Four. Turns out Amazon on demand had is so I continued binge-watching until I again came to the end. Now I can't wait until season five and the wait is painful! Having gone as far as I could go with BCS I went back and started watching Breaking Bad. Again I was captivated and started watching episode after episode. I kept thinking, "okay, just one more before bed". Four episodes later I would crawl into bed speculating what might happen next. By the time I finished Breaking Bad I was emotionally exhausted but completely dazzled at what a phenomenal accomplishment this series is and where it takes you. I have never seen a television series so deep before, not like this. These characters are fascinating, sophisticated, and once you become wrapped up in it you can see their world from their perspective as if you were them. All we can do is hope that after BCS wraps up a new series will continue the drama!!

found a great BCS Easter egg yesterday. I decided to watch the very first episode of BCS again. It was in the beginning of the episode in the flash forward segment with Gene/ Saul/Jimmy sitting at home watching tv. He decides to watch some video of his old commercials and gets out a hidden box with some items in it of which one was the video tape he wanted. That's when I noticed that one of the items in the box was the old band-aid can that he had hidden in the ceiling of the old store his father used to own. He had the coin collection in it. He almost left the can behind when he came back in and grabbed it. Awesome show!

3:12 I was struck, the very first time I watched this, by the way Kim goes and sets the trash can back upright again. Watch it and really think about it. She does so patiently, uncomplainingly. She doesn't come back out to the garage and yell at Jimmy or ask him not to do it again. It's clear it's not the first time she's cleaned up after one of his tantrums. And yet she still shares a cigarette and obvious intimate familiarity with this man. So it immediately makes you start thinking: what kind of relationship is this? what kind of woman still wants intimacy or at least close friendship, with a loser like Jimmy? Absolutely brilliant. Kim righting that trash can was the moment I was hooked. I knew right then that Gilligan wasn't going to fall short or fail me, that this show was going to be BB's equal. And it is. :)

Since then, I've watched the entirety of Breaking Bad twice and am up to date with BCS. Best shows I've seen so far (Haven't tried Game of Thrones, House of Cards, among others)

Plus, Bob Odenkirk is a monster of talent... it's hard not to love Jimmy and not to feel sorry about what he became

The first couple of times when this show had me scratching my head wondering what is going on, I feared I might have missed something. 4th seasons in, now its a feeling i welcome because I'm sure everything will be explained to me in time. I even feel excited because i know there will be major plot developements.

Thank you for this! Hard to find a show with this much heart anymore.

Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul are the best of storytelling. Characters are very interesting. Does a wonderful job of showing how people can get themselves into unbelievable situations and justify insane behavior in a society.

That one dislike is from someone who has no idea what brilliant television is, and a good review too

mlsaulnier I mean the button is there for a reason. Maybe he/she genuinely doesn't like the show/video. Did you think of that?

This is the kind of show that’s great to watch after a long day of work. It feels so relaxing and laid back, and yet there are several exciting moments and conflicts there as well.
