  • Better Call Saul

    From poindexter FORTRAN@21:4/122 to All on Fri Oct 8 09:02:00 2021
    I'm finally watching Better Call Saul. Never got into Breaking Bad, but I'm loving BCS so far. I've never seen a better chaotic good character than
    Jimmy McGill.

    I'm surprised no one talked about Michael McKean's performance. Wonderful.

    Always liked him in Spinal Tap... and that movie "Never again" where he had
    a bit part as the transexual hooker.

    When Better Call Saul was announced, they made a promotional point that it would have a different tone than Breaking Bad, and with Odenkirk up front I thought it was going to be something a lot lighter than it turned out to be.

    The story is different but the tone really isn't. I think of Odenkirk as a comedian and he's really stretched a lot in this role. As with Breaking Bad, this is really propelled by characters - Jimmy and the kind of amazingly complex Kim Wexler.

    I'm surprised no one talked about Michael McKean's performance.
    Wonderful.

    It really was and same thing here: I think of McKean as a comedian or comedic actor and he really carried the dramatic aspects of his character well.

    I had pretty good expectations for Better Call Saul, but in a lot of ways it's exceeded my expectations. Everyone on that show should be proud.

    If it helps I have not watched it yet :)

    Wonderful.

    Yeah pretty solid show. I never got into Breaking Bad myself that is, until I saw Better Call Saul.. but you will. I will say this, watching Breaking will make more sense about Jimmy. While he's not spot lit in a lot of episodes, there are are some key moments where he does...and it sets it up for what we may see in the next season too.

    Even Breaking Bad is fantastic too but the antics of Jimmy McGill is why I watch.
