Gus Fring is the worst character on ‘Better Call Saul’

TwitterFacebook

Four seasons in, Better Call Saul has proven, in many ways, to be an even better show – more complicated, more wrenching, more humane – than its predecessor. That’s no small feat, considering Breaking Bad is one of the most well-regarded shows in recent memory.

But even great shows have their missteps, and Better Call Saul‘s biggest one is Gus Fring.

Fring’s back… unfortunately

As a Breaking Bad fan favorite, Fring descended upon Better Call Saul with tons of hype. Indeed, the entirety of Season 2 had been building up to his arrival – the episode titles turned out to be a puzzle spelling “FRING’S BACK,” and that season closed with an anonymous note to Mike that all but confirmed Fring would be swinging by the Saul storyline soon.  Read more…

‘Better Call Saul’ gets closer to ‘Breaking Bad’ in Season 4 – but for better or for worse?

This review contains spoilers for the Season 4 premiere of Better Call Saul. 

It was inevitable that Better Call Saul would creep closer and closer to Breaking Bad territoryBetter Call Saul is a prequel, after all, and that’s what prequels do.

What wasn’t a given, and what’s made Better Call Saul such a rewarding experience, is that at its best, it doesn’t just tell us what happens before Breaking Bad. Instead, it reframes its parent series in a tragic new light. 

To be sure, it’s still possible to enjoy Better Call Saul without having seen Breaking Bad. In fact, some of Saul‘s strongest elements have the least to do with its predecessor – like Kim Wexler, who continues to be the beating heart of Better Call Saul but was never even mentioned in Breaking BadRead more…

Better Call Saul is calling in another Breaking Bad character next season — but one that not even the most hardcore fans are bound to recognize. 

As announced during the Better Call Saul Comic-Con panel Thursday, Tony Dalton will show up in Season 4 as Lalo, a character who was referenced in Breaking Bad but never actually seen.

In fact, it’s Saul (née Jimmy) himself who references Lalo in the Breaking Bad Season 2 episode “Better Call Saul.” 

As a masked Walt and Jesse hold Saul at gunpoint, Saul pins the blame for some unexplained crime on Nacho (played by Michael Mando in Better Call Saul), and then asks if “Lalo” sent them. Read more…

It has been five grueling years since we last visited Walter White and Jesse Pinkman, but… that could be about to change.

AMC’s Better Call Saul is finally allowing its time jump structure to take us right into the meat of Breaking Bad.

A recent Entertainment Weekly interview with co-creators Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould revealed that Better Call Saul‘s upcoming Season 4 will feature “a subplot that very squarely gets into Breaking Bad territory and brings us into the world — or at least points us on a path toward the world of Walter White and the territory of Walter White.” Read more…
