Great cast, tight direction, superb writing...
This isn't an action type tense film making. Like Hitch's work, the tension is in the intensity of the characters and writing, which means that it's very, very good.
Jimmy - a nice guy with a morals code - continues to get burned by the very system he has spent years trying to fit into. The more he cooperates, the more it burns him. So slick Jimmy, I would think, must be wondering WHAT THE HELL he saw so much in this corrupt system that Fs you if you play by THEIR rules. Proof to us and Jimmy, the system sucks.
I can now see how in the future, he can and will, become Saul. The system will make him into a more intelligent Chicago slick Jimmy.
Mike the Fixer gets deeper into the mess, with each and every show, while showing that in his core, like Jimmy, he's a good guy with a moral code.
Best television going. Given the outright usual and predictable crap out there. Bring your mind and soul to BETTER CALL SAUL, because it takes both to really appreciate what this show has to offer. Anything less is like all that junk you see on the networks.
Get me? DB
