According to the excitement of that drama series that follows the every day action of Jimmy McGill, a youthful savvy and gallant former con man, who goes to be a lawyer, as he battles hoodlums, yet he faces his dull past that undermines their life. In this new season, Lalo battles against finding Michael.
Better Call Saul is just like that proverbial dropped dessert: flavorful, chilling, its colorful sweetness melting and devoured in the unforgiving desert sun.
Gould and Gilligan have turned Better Call Saul into a gripping meditation on character and destiny, and in Odenkirk they've found a leading man very nearly as compelling and complex as Bryan Cranston. It's just that he wears louder shirts.
Although the prequel is running out of room, the AMC drama continues to achieve a dazzling balancing act in building toward an ending that is, in some ways, a beginning.
So in Season 5, the best thing about "Better Call Saul" is still its minimalism, its quiet spaces, its willingness to linger on details, like a frazzled prosecutor's struggle to get a bag of chips out of a courthouse vending machine.
As usual, "Saul" operates with confidence and impeccable craft, sticking to its always steady pace while reminding the audience how far these characters have come, and in many cases, fallen.
All of these consistently astonishing formal touches combine to create a value that outweighs the pain. Yes, "Better Call Saul" is a double-edged sword of reward and loss, but it isn't too sad to watch because you're too invested to look away.
