Got to admit, Vince Gilligan is a master, creating two of the best series that made millions of people watch, namely Breaking Bad and spin off Better Call Saul, which he created with Peter Gould. This last one is a spin of the more popular Breaking Bad, with lawyer Saul Goodman played by fantastic Bob Odenkirk, his trials and tribulations and describing the way how Jimmy McGill became Saul Goodman and what led to events in Breaking Bad and after that. First two seasons are more of humor courtroom dramedy with couple of crime understories beneath it all, but the third season starts it all, the rise of crime Salamanca family, rise of Gustavo Fring and his empire, Saul’s relationship with his older brother Charles and his girlfriend, also lawyer Kim Wexler, entangling more and more into the crime world until the bittersweet ending in season six. Actors are superb, besides Odenkirk, Rhea Seehorn as Kim is fantastic, so is Giancarlo Esposito as Gus, the bad guy, Jonathan Banks as Mike, man for dirty jobs and this series also tells his story how he became what he was in Breaking Bad. It is beautiful to see how Giancarlo Esposito became one of my favorite actors performing roles of bad guys. So, as you can see, characters of two series interplay in both, so I recommend parallel watching of both as I did, so you can expect Breaking Bad review also on the pages of this webzine soon. This one stays long in your memory after you watched it. Although the last season is a bit too long with 13 episodes, compared to previous seasons that have ten episodes per season.
