FOR 'BREAKING BAD' FANS ONLY
All those who enjoyed watching 'Breaking Bad', should be pleased to know that this is the prequel of that really great series. But this time the plot is centered around Saul Goodman, the - almost caricature character - lawyer of Breaking Bad.
The
series is about Jimmy Mc Gill (Saul's real name) when he was an unknown public
defender, having his office in a room behind a manicure parlor. “Better Call Saul” is co-created by Vince Gilligan, the creator of “Breaking Bad,” and Paul Gould, a writer on that show, and it’s easy to spot a similar theme: the gradual corruption of a seemingly innocuous man.
As it was expected, we are going to see some
familiar faces from 'Breaking Bad' here, starting with Mike Ehrmantraut. (I'm under the impression
that as the series will continue, more and more characters from Breaking Bad
will appear).The performance of Bob Odenkirk in the role of Saul (or should I say Jimmy?) is once more excellent, and really enjoyable to watch. But what we see here, is a totally different person who just tries to survive, and overcome all the difficulties he is facing in his life.
I watched all 10 episodes of season 1, and I must say that up to the 5th episode I found this series kind of “slow” and boring. But in the episodes 6-10 there is a big improvement, as the pace becomes a bit faster, and the plot a more interesting one.
As for my rating, I don’t think I would give more than a 7.0 out of 10.0
On IMDB though, the rating is 9.0 out of 10.0, and I think you should have that in mind…
