    [Odenkirk's] nervous, shifty quality is perfect for the part, but he doesn’t bring a depth to Jimmy that would account for the character’s contradictions. Season 4 continues to bring Jimmy and Mike together for brief, nonessential meetings, which means that for now Saul continues to be about a third of a really good show--the portion in which Mr. Banks gets to exercise his tremendous authority and subtlety in the story line leading directly to the events of “Breaking Bad,” while Mr. Odenkirk and the other major (non-Hispanic) characters spin their wheels in the legal drama.

    Better Call Saul is AS GOOD as Breaking Bad, plain and simply.

    There are no other shows on air that compare to BCS. To compare it to Breaking Bad is a serious error, as the show has more humor, wit, andThere are no other shows on air that compare to BCS. To compare it to Breaking Bad is a serious error, as the show has more humor, wit, and empathetic characters then BB. The show's a slow burner, ratcheting up the tension, and drama organically. There are no clear lines between evil and good as the characters motivations are believable and understandable. Bob Odenkirk plays the tragic Jimmy McGill perfectly and even when he's Slippin' Jimmy you can't help but root for his confidence man antics. Each episode in succession is cleaver, and tightly crafted. Beautiful shots of Arizona and intriguing angles and movements keep the viewers glued to the screen. The soundtrack always seems to be appropriate and distinguished. The quality of this show is fantastic, and I look forward to see more characters from BB make appearances. Full Review »
