Better Call Saul is one of the best shows in television history for a myriad of reasons. From the impeccable performances to the brilliant call backs to Breaking Bad, the spinoff has etched its name as one of the most artistic endeavors ever put on the small screen.

You can have too much of a good thing – if the saga of Walter White taught us nothing else, it surely taught us that. So when creator Vince Gilligan teamed up with writer Peter Gould to create a prequel to Breaking Bad – starring comedian Bob Odenkirk's sleazeball ambulance-chaser Saul Goodman – it was hard not to think they were aping their own creation. Wasn't returning to this world so soon, to tell the origin story of a drastically different kind of person, hubris on a Heisenbergian scale?
It's now safe to say that,...

Better Call Saul has unleashed it's most painful episode yet – leaving the fate of one of its key characters hanging in the balance.
Warning: Spoilers ahead for Monday's episode of Better Call Saul
After Chuck (Michael McKean) figures out that his brother Jimmy (Bob Odenkirk) sabotaged his Mesa Verde case, he goes to the scene of the crime – an all-night print shop. During an argument with the shop's employee (whom Jimmy has bribed to tell Chuck that Jimmy was never there), the elder McGill brother passes out, hitting his head in a blow that looks like it could result in death or serious injury.

One of the joys of tuning into Better Call Saul, the best new show on AMC, is to catch snippets of Mad Men, the best old show on AMC, in the ads leading up to that series’ final episodes. A shot that is always included among the show’s most iconic is that of several Sterling Cooper partners with their backs turned to the camera, looking out the window from their new floor of office space. (It’s one that concludes the show’s fifth, and arguably best, season.)
I kept coming back to that image from that series’ season five finale during “Bingo,” a thrillingly paced, surprisingly tidy episode of television. It is probably due to a line Don Draper (played by Jon Hamm) says in the episode right before about happiness: “it’s only a moment before you need more happiness.” Just as the Manhattan ad men and...

A review of tonight's "Better Call Saul" coming up just as soon as I file this under Miscellaneous Expenses.. "You're the kind of lawyer guilty people hire." -Betsy Kettleman The flashback in the teaser to "Hero" reveals that Jimmy McGill was using Saul Goodman — as in, "S'all good, man" — as an alias even back in his Cicero grifter days. And the episode that follows shows him taking the first real steps towards becoming the Saul of the "Breaking Bad" era. For a couple of episodes, he's been doing his best to stay on the straight and narrow, whether working as many public defender cases as he can grab, or trying to warn the Kettlemans when he discovers that Nacho means them ill. And as Betsy tries to thrust a pile of embezzled cash into his arms, you can see that he really doesn't want to take it — and, even after she keeps trying,...

With its clipped montages set to rock music, its stark Mojave Desert landscapes and its sizzling close-ups, few shows on television have ever looked as bold or beautiful as Breaking Bad. Better Call Saul has called upon Arthur Albert, who photographed two of that series’ final episodes, to do prime cinematography duties here. It also helps that the show’s first two hours are helmed by two of Breaking Bad’s most esteemed directors, creator Vince Gilligan and, with tonight’s episode, producer Michelle MacLaren.
The former series’ sharp visual sense returns in style during the second premiere hour, “Mijo.” The deep staging in sequences with Tuco and his grandmother, the harsh natural lighting of sandy desert patches during a similarly heated conversation between Tuco and Jimmy, and that sleek courtroom montage near the episode’s climax are nods to its predecessor’s look and feel. The familiar style makes sense,...
