Better Call Saul.

It's showtime, folks!

In the spirit of spin-offs I bring you Better Call Saul.

I'm sure you have heard of a little award winning show called Breaking Bad.  If you haven't then I suggest getting Netflix for under your rock because you're going to want to binge watch this show from beginning to end.  Breaking Bad will need it's own post but for now let's focus on one character who was so liked by fans that he got his own television series: Saul Goodman.  Appearing in 43 of 62 episodes of Breaking Bad, Bob Odenkirk played a loveable lawyer who always manged to get himself into trouble.  Saul Goodman is a smart man with a fast mouth but he gets himself into sticky situations that make views both cringe and laugh.

Fans were devastated when Breaking Bad came to an end.  Five heart pumping seasons of Walter White doing the unimaginable just to pay his medical bills.  However, the phoenix rose from the ashes and AMC brought us Better Call Saul.

Vince Gillian  is a master of creation and brought fans a new show that allows us to truly connect with the characters.  I'm going out on a limb to state that this may be one of the best spin-offs ever created.  Better Call Saul is already Emmy nominated and it's easy to see why.  The camera work and editing is beautiful.  The casting is great with some characters crossing over from Breaking Bad, such as Tuco.  Bob Odenkirk is a talented actor and brings everything fans loved about Saul into an entirely new place.  This is a show that can stand on its own without even needing to be labeled as a spin-off.

Better Call Saul takes us deeper into who Jimmy McGill really is.  How did he get started?  How did he end up such an illegal mess? How did he become Saul Goodman?  I'm still finding the answers to these questions while I watch season one.  Check back soon for Better Call Saul: Part Two.

Season two will be starting up February 15, 2016 on AMC at 10/9c.  If you need to catch up than season one is streaming right now on Netflix, along with Breaking Bad.  I know what I'll be doing for the next couple of weeks!
