Sorry for the editing mistake at 23:00 that’s my fault forgot I didn’t take it out before I rendered 🤦♂️ EDIT: Another mistake (sorry lol), I misspoke when talking about Mike having a clean out, it's been a hot minute since I've seen breaking bad so my knowledge was a little rusty, but I still believe my point still stands, again, sorry lol
Absolutely. The cliche thing to do would be to show the crash in slow-motion or something, or even worse, don't show it at all and just have the dumb "main character gets a phone call with terrible news" thing. But the way the show did it was brilliant, something I've never seen before. Seriously, bravo to the director and/or whomever came up with that one.
That and the in Bad Choice Road when Jimmy has a ptsd attack. Kim splatters orange juice on her shirt and Jimmy winces so hard he knocks his bowl on the ground, and the way it's edited makes it so visceral you can feel it. It doesn't even do what you would expect and intercut the orange juice spattering with the blood spattering in Jimmy's shirt from the shootout in Bagman, it knows the viewer is smart enough to connect the dots and just shows Jimmy's reaction in a way that you can feel the intensity of the ptsd
You said Saul Goodman is 2 dimensional for the entirety of Breaking Bad, and normally I’d agree, but after finishing season 6 of BCS I decided to rewatch all his scenes in BB and I think he has just 1 moment of depth that sticks with me. Jesse has Saul deliver money to Andrea and Brock, while he’s there he stops and chats with Brock and they all seem genuinely happy and friendly with each other. Saul tells the kid a little anecdote, Brock smiles at him, Andrea thanks him, then he leaves. He meets Jesse in the car and says he doesn’t mind doing the delivery, which shows his behavior wasn’t just an act. Later, Walt has Saul (using Huell) pick the ricin cigarette off Jesse. When Saul learns why (that he used the cigarette to poison Brock, that very same sweet little kid he saw before) he’s so disgusted he tells Walt that he is *done working with him.* Of course, Walt intimidates him back into submission, but it’s definitely worth noting that _Saul Goodman,_ a man whose first instinct was to have his own client (Badger) killed if it was more convenient for him, who is totally fine working with drug dealers, who lies as easily as he breathes, who helps cover up Walt and Jesse’s crimes even when it’s _murder-_ THAT Saul Goodman- thought Walt crossed a line. Also, his behavior in his last conversation with Walt shows there is more to him than we would have thought. I believe I saw in an interview or something that they actually planned BCS before BB ended, so that’s probably why he felt less 2 dimensional toward the end.
Around the 30-minute mark you said that Saul was willing to sell out Kim for chocolate mint ice cream, but that's not true. He was just going to give out information regarding Howard Hamlin for the ice cream. It's just when he heard that Kim already told the authorities about it did he start to reconsider. I don't think him betraying kim was ever a thought in his mind no matter how despicable he became.
I know he never intended on selling out Kim, I was just saying that as the viewer it looked like he was actually going to go ahead and sell her out up until the court scene
To be fair at this point there is no more information and this is when he starts the plot of the final con, when he says he is willing to sell out kim he's just bluffing her
I watched Better Call Saul, except the last few episodes, before Breaking Bad so there were actually a lot of surprises. I thought Hector was going to die, I thought Nacho was in Breaking Bad, I didn't know who Gus was at first. It was a really interesting experience but then it made me feel like Saul wasn't a properly used character in Breaking Bad itself. Luckily, I left the final 3 episodes until after Breaking Bad so the story tied up in the end.
@@PolishGod1234 I know he was a side character. I was saying that watching BCS first made me think of him as the main character so it was weird to see him as a side.
18:00, mike didn’t get a way out when Gus died. All his money got taken by the DEA. He didn’t want to work for Walt, he just desperately needed the money.
he had a choice then and there to go about getting the money a different way but he still chose to work for walt, that's what I meant to say my bad if I phrased it that way
@@azizvbh there is one thing about the phrasing here that is specifically wrong. Mike decided to work WITH Walt, not FOR him. The idea was to leave Walt to just Cooking and Mike doing the Business.
Around 18:00 you said Mike was given a clean out after Gus died, however, he kept going on due to the money he worked for being confiscated. He wanted to leave his granddaughter some money, but the DEA froze all the accounts and confiscated everything. Either way, it was all for nothing since his lawyer was caught distributing the new money he made with Walt and Jesse. Other than that, amazing video! Really entertaining and well put.
It's been a hot minute since I've seen breaking bad so I apologize for that little mistake there lol, that's my fault, but glad you enjoyed the video regardless!
I love this. So much love for this show. Honestly this is the first sequel to a show that didn’t just retcon or piggybacked on its first show. The writers are genius and can’t wait to see what’s next. It’s a slow start to better caul Saul but the real ones stick through and can’t say anything bad really about it. Vince is a genius
when i finished breaking bad i didnt think bcs would be any better, but all of my expectations were blown. the characters are better written than breaking bad, it's shot better, all the flashbacks and flashfowards are made uniquely, etc. but the one thing i loved most is how it birthed Lalo, the one guy that was able to make Gus shit himself.
Rarely do I come across a RUclipsr who is able to break down the content of the show in such an articulate/intriguing manner, who also is able to keep the content enjoyable to watch with added in humor. Just came across your channel today, I really think this channel has the ability to take off
The best thing about Better Call Saul is that it manages to maintain great continuity with Breaking Bad and makes Sauls character even more enjoyable to watch, especially his interactions with Mike.
Thank you for finally making the only video on RUclips that does justice to the greatest show to play on television, 2 years after Breaking Bad premiered, and to this day. I live in Albuquerque, New Mexico and I worked at the movie theater as the door guy. That mall every cold open was shot, it had the Cinnabon right down the way from the Movie Theater I’d worked at, right at the day of turning sixteen and fresh into high school, and every lunch I had, when the show had come down to shoot all the cold opens of every season up until I left at season 4, I’d see Bob. He’d be in his Cinnabon outfit with Vince G. and Peter Gould going over their lines. Regardless of me living there, I do believe that not only Breaking Bad floored me in what my hometown could be and what I’ve always seen it to be as a filmmaker with my own camera in the mesa well before they’d came, they taught me how to truly tell stories in my backyard. Every week, in my movie theater work uniform, watching my favorite show of all time be made where my dad took me to try a cinnamon roll for the first time. The best program to ever air on television alongside Breaking Bad, The Sopranos, and The Wire.
17:55 Mike did have an obligation and reason to keep working after Gus died. At first he didn't want to even though his millions got taken away by the DEA. Then the hazard pay from Gus couldn't go through for his guys and he had to take matters into him own hands. So I'm sorry how you could forget this vital plotline. Mike didn't want to continue working with Walt and Jessie but essentially he had no choice if he wanted to stay with his family. There were 2 options skip town and leave his family or work with Walt make the money for the hazard pay so he doesn't get revealed and make money back for his family.
I think Nacho's dad knew something bad was up during their last conversation. There's just no way a father wouldn't pick up on the sings his son gives out with the voice on the brink of tears and what he says. Dad's facial expressions are reserved, but still give out the vibe that he understands the situation, yet he still believes that police is the only way Nacho could survive. Dad took the news from Mike too well for me to believe he was "clueless".
EXCELLENT video, I can’t believe you don’t have more subscribers. This is the kind of content that deserves millions of views. Great job, excellent editing, incredible writing, the quality here is absolutely stunning. Keep up the good work, this was amazing.
This is one of the best video essays breaking down why we love BCS that I've seen yet, if it doesn't gain traction ima be mad upset at the algorithm gods. Not to detract from your amazing work and communication skills but the beats in the background are dope, too. Mind linking them?
Saul didn’t want to be held accountable for his actions, during the plea negotiation he was smug until he heard about Kim. From then on Jimmy was in control. He didn’t go from 7 years to 83 (I think) to atone. He did it for Kim, he did it so Kim would respect him again, he did it to show her that he is a good person. And to save her from the civil suit. Even when Chuck got Jimmys confession on tape he said he did it for Kim.
In realistic terms you'd have to imagine Drew Sharpe's parents, Mike's granddaughter and family, Fred from Travel wife's Family, and many more. They were all victims especially Drew Sharpe's parents, Jesse was so guilt sick he threw the money away.
The cinematography had me by and large. I loved the continuity of Saul dropping his ice cream cone and then it bleeds into the next episode. Kim’s car crash, Mike unaliving Werner etc. After binging BCS (and BrBa) I have a hard time watching TV shows solely for the cinematography
Kim was so well written! It's great to see a female character that doesn't take her clothes off, is smart and actually valued. Not too many girls are like that in movies or tv
Not only that, Kim was a realistic and flawed human being. She felt relatable, like one of us. Most "strong female characters" feel like they are designed by a committee to be a perfect representation of whatever qualities are deemed political correct that year. Hence, they are boring. Kim is interesting precisely because she isn't perfect
What you said about lalo really resonated with me - I was high watching the episode where he kills Howard and THE MOMENT lalo first shows up I start absolutely shaking
the day saul gone released was the day i was sure that better call saul is not only the best spin-off in television history but also straight up the best show.
I had my RUclips on autoplay n it lead me to your video, i listened to it in the background as I'm working and i got the impression that you are a big RUclipsr. So when i saw that you have this little subs i was surprised. Me having that impression is a sign that you are on the right road to becoming a successful review channel.
He wasn’t actually selling Kim out he only said that it would incriminate her to only get her into the court case so she could be there when he finally tells the truth.
Kim never worked at schweikert and cokeley until season 4 and 5. She did an interview with them in season 2 but she didn't work for them. She also didn't open her own firm with Jimmy, she set up as a solo practitioner and they both paid for an office. Saying they had a firm together is like saying if you share a house with someone you're automatically married.
@@Lunar-dx8pv i do get that and i appreciate the mistakes being pointed out the first 10 times, but when my entire comment section on the video i'm the most proud of is flooded with the same comments talking about the same mistakes that are talked about in the top comments of the video, it gets discouraging i'm not gonna lie :/
24:44 you can see after kim walks away, jimmy is surprised and happy that kim is joining him in his schemes, but then he realizes for a second that its probably not such a good thing. Little acting moments like this are what makes this show perfect
🤔🤷♂️ I don't agree with your take on Nacho that he was "ambitious". He was a survivalist. The whole reason why he propositioned Mike in the first place is because he thought (correctly) Tuco was going to kill him. Nothing Nacho did seemed like a "power grab" and he didn't really strike me as a greedy person.
Nacho thought Tuco was going to kill him, because Nacho was breaking the rules, dealing behind Tuco's back. Nacho did those things because he's ambitious. He could have easily settled for less money, but he wanted to make enough for his expensive house and 2 drug addicted girlfriends. Seems pretty ambitious to me.
When Better Call Saul came out, I would've been maybe... 8 or 9 years old. So, I wasn't there for the build up as I didn't know it or Breaking Bad existed yet. However, with the hindsight of favoring BCS over BB, I find it amusing to think there was a time where nobody had faith in it. It also highlights just *how* good BCS is to me because that lack of faith was entirely justified. And despite everyone thinking "this is prob gonna be trash", it didn't just match Breaking Bad, it debatably *succeeded* Breaking Bad.
Better Call Saul is a masterpiece, like Breaking Bad before it. When I rewatch Breaking Bad, I’m not going to look at it the same. I got to really like Jimmy McGill to the point where I didn’t want Saul Goodman to ever exist, which is sort of useless to think, but that’s how well done he was in this show. Yes, Jimmy has his flaws and had done some bad things, but for the most part he is a good guy deep down. He does bad things, many times with the best intentions, but does what he can to try and rectify those bad things even if sometimes he’s too late to do so or it’s not as easy as he thinks it is. I loved how the series ended as it gave great closure to this world that has existed to us since 2008. I even love this show more than Breaking Bad, mainly due to the characters in the the slow burn that pays off in the end. I could go on and on, but this is a true masterpiece. Great video man!
Not only were we rooting for Saul and Kim but we were also enjoying Howard squirm. It was funny watching just goofy elaborate pranks on a douche bag. The moment Howard was shot I was hit in the gut by second hand guilt. Not many pieces of media have pulled that out of me.
1) Jimmy didn't intend to prove Chuck was faking, because he wasn't, but rather that his condition was psychological rather than physical and he won't feel the pain from the electricity if he did not know he was exposed to it 2) Jimmy and Kim did not do what they did to Howard because he was an asshole, they wanted the Sandpiper settlement money. Of course they did not like him, so they went so far to destroy his whole reputation but that wasn't the sole reason.
The writing and character development in BCS is amazing. I rewatched it and felt the complete opposite towards Howard the second time watching it. For 5 seasons I hated him but it turns in season 6. It’s a little slower paced than Breaking Bad but I think it’s better at stories and character development. Breaking Bad is great but moves super fast.
Better call saul had so much tension, since i didnt watch breaking bad first i finished bcs completely. I genuinely thought gus was gonna die in point and shoot lol
Great review, but I disagree that Mike stayed in Gus's/Walt's business for the money, it was more about keeping tabs on Walter and making sure he doesn't burn everything to the ground (which he did anyways).
Sorry for the editing mistake at 23:00 that’s my fault forgot I didn’t take it out before I rendered 🤦♂️
EDIT: Another mistake (sorry lol), I misspoke when talking about Mike having a clean out, it's been a hot minute since I've seen breaking bad so my knowledge was a little rusty, but I still believe my point still stands, again, sorry lol
I thought that was a joke about how we didn't expect Lalo to show up and kill Howard at 23:00.
You also misspoke about kim. It was HHM, partnered with Jimmy, SnK, then she quit.
You’re good it fit with the visuals of Howard’s confusion
I love the moment when the guy on the bus says 'it's Better Caul Saul' and all the people on the bus start chanting Better Caul Saul.
it's crazy that this actually happened and you aren't making a joke
I love the moment in which Slipin' Jimmy slips
@@nb3463 Technically this isn't wrong either
I thought it was a little cheesy but somehow it still worked so well.
That scene went so hard to me
Btw that crash scene with Kim was one of the best representations I think I’ve ever seen, it was terrifying and I don’t see it get enough credit.
Absolutely. The cliche thing to do would be to show the crash in slow-motion or something, or even worse, don't show it at all and just have the dumb "main character gets a phone call with terrible news" thing.

it’s so sad that your videos are so high quality and amazing but gets so little views
gotta trust the process 🤞
For the fans that aren’t familiar, these shows are what we call “a character study” and we welcome you to your new favorite genre
Saul was 2D in Breaking Bad? Not making a great case for yourself here.
come on, be real, he had like 2 moments where he wasn't the funny lawyer guy tops
BCS will fovever be my favourite show of all time im still obsessed with it months after the finale
Oh I just got that. Jimmy won and so Saul had to fall
18:16 "In that same breath" *takes another breath*
"all of this because his brother didn't really believe in him" Is a bit of an understatement of Chuck Sabotaging Jimmy's career lmao
And Kim's career defining opportunity with Mesa Verde. Although Chuck did win them back fair and square.

Kim never worked at schweikert and cokeley until season 4 and 5. She did an interview with them in season 2 but she didn't work for them. She also didn't open her own firm with Jimmy, she set up as a solo practitioner and they both paid for an office. Saying they had a firm together is like saying if you share a house with someone you're automatically married.
This is a great review. Gonna be subbing.
Such a well done video sir 👌 deserves a like and sub
Great video, keep up the work man
Best video essay I’ve ever seen
Waltuh, put your d away Waltuh.
Mikes money gets taken after Gus died cuz the feds found gus’ wire codes. That’s why he works with Walt.
It's not a pit, it's an arroyo!
Nacho is one of my favorite characters next to Saul Goodman. So invested in Both of these characters.
Excellent job! Don’t listen to those pointing out mistakes your whole picture appreciation is magnificent
Dude it is better to let someone know the flaws of the works as constructive criticism.
@@Lunar-dx8pv i do get that and i appreciate the mistakes being pointed out the first 10 times, but when my entire comment section on the video i'm the most proud of is flooded with the same comments talking about the same mistakes that are talked about in the top comments of the video, it gets discouraging i'm not gonna lie :/
I love how genuinely emotional I got shortly before seeing a bunch of memes about kims feet
I just passed the bar on the tests last oct-dec, and, man, I can say it is a sensation... and I finnaly can be a lawyer, what a sick joke...
24:44 you can see after kim walks away, jimmy is surprised and happy that kim is joining him in his schemes, but then he realizes for a second that its probably not such a good thing. Little acting moments like this are what makes this show perfect
This is the moment when Saul became Badman
🤔🤷♂️ I don't agree with your take on Nacho that he was "ambitious". He was a survivalist. The whole reason why he propositioned Mike in the first place is because he thought (correctly) Tuco was going to kill him. Nothing Nacho did seemed like a "power grab" and he didn't really strike me as a greedy person.
But Brutus says he was ambitious, and Brutus is an honourable man
Nacho thought Tuco was going to kill him, because Nacho was breaking the rules, dealing behind Tuco's back. Nacho did those things because he's ambitious. He could have easily settled for less money, but he wanted to make enough for his expensive house and 2 drug addicted girlfriends. Seems pretty ambitious to me.
Dude. This was awesome. Great fucking video.
i love the part when saul said “it’s lawyerin time!!!” then got the iron man suit and started flying around…. shit was nuts
Honestly I think if chuck allowed Jimmy into the firm, slippin jimmy wouldn't be a thing.
The intro to this video is fantastic
Whole vid too but u know
Seen both loads. Still love watching things like this. Thanks.
You're like Forrest Gumps mom. You say everything in ways we can relate and understand
BCS changes the universe from the story of Walter White to the story of Jimmy McGill where Walter White is just one of many side characters.
When Better Call Saul came out, I would've been maybe... 8 or 9 years old. So, I wasn't there for the build up as I didn't know it or Breaking Bad existed yet.
However, with the hindsight of favoring BCS over BB, I find it amusing to think there was a time where nobody had faith in it. It also highlights just *how* good BCS is to me because that lack of faith was entirely justified.
And despite everyone thinking "this is prob gonna be trash", it didn't just match Breaking Bad, it debatably *succeeded* Breaking Bad.
beautiful analysis!
Mike kept working because the DEA took the money and to be able to pay the people that gus employed.
Better Call Saul is a masterpiece, like Breaking Bad before it. When I rewatch Breaking Bad, I’m not going to look at it the same. I got to really like Jimmy McGill to the point where I didn’t want Saul Goodman to ever exist, which is sort of useless to think, but that’s how well done he was in this show. Yes, Jimmy has his flaws and had done some bad things, but for the most part he is a good guy deep down. He does bad things, many times with the best intentions, but does what he can to try and rectify those bad things even if sometimes he’s too late to do so or it’s not as easy as he thinks it is. I loved how the series ended as it gave great closure to this world that has existed to us since 2008. I even love this show more than Breaking Bad, mainly due to the characters in the the slow burn that pays off in the end. I could go on and on, but this is a true masterpiece. Great video man!
Not only were we rooting for Saul and Kim but we were also enjoying Howard squirm. It was funny watching just goofy elaborate pranks on a douche bag. The moment Howard was shot I was hit in the gut by second hand guilt. Not many pieces of media have pulled that out of me.
Great analysis! But just FYI from a lawyer: Chuck didn’t sue Jimmy. It was a Bar disciplinary proceeding.
What a great analysis!
1) Jimmy didn't intend to prove Chuck was faking, because he wasn't, but rather that his condition was psychological rather than physical and he won't feel the pain from the electricity if he did not know he was exposed to it
2) Jimmy and Kim did not do what they did to Howard because he was an asshole, they wanted the Sandpiper settlement money. Of course they did not like him, so they went so far to destroy his whole reputation but that wasn't the sole reason.
This movie is just your interpretation
man the delay on the gunshot at 20:30 is the most striking part of that scene, shame you edited it out
blame youtube copyright
Mike work more after Gus died because Mike has to pay for his man in prison
Wore, spin-offs are not always bad! The Jeffersons was a spin-off right?
Although there were Few things that were misconstrued, still a great video!
The writing and character development in BCS is amazing. I rewatched it and felt the complete opposite towards Howard the second time watching it. For 5 seasons I hated him but it turns in season 6. It’s a little slower paced than Breaking Bad but I think it’s better at stories and character development. Breaking Bad is great but moves super fast.
Better call saul had so much tension, since i didnt watch breaking bad first i finished bcs completely. I genuinely thought gus was gonna die in point and shoot lol
Just casually shows us nacho shooting himself
Yes
Great review, but I disagree that Mike stayed in Gus's/Walt's business for the money, it was more about keeping tabs on Walter and making sure he doesn't burn everything to the ground (which he did anyways).
Can someone please acknowledge the amazing score on this show
I damn near get emotional when I think about this show and breaking bad being over…what I’d give to re-experience them for the first time again.
