Putting the "criminal" in "criminal lawyer."

Six years before Saul Goodman meets Walter White. We meet him when the man who will become Saul Goodman is known as Jimmy McGill, a small-time lawyer searching for his destiny, and, more immediately, hustling to make ends meet. Working alongside, and, often, against Jimmy, is “fixer” Mike Ehrmantraut. The series tracks Jimmy’s transformation into Saul Goodman, the man who puts “criminal” in “criminal lawyer".

I better call Saul, 'cause it looks like I'm gonna break bad.
i don't think i've seen a more impressive show, in terms of writing, cinematography, and editing. a lot of the shot choices were quite outlandish yet still top notch and executed perfectly. i loved the use of wide angle extreme long shots especially. in every episode they always found an interesting spot to put the camera, in ways i've never seen done before. several episodes start out with quite impressive continuous shots. every low key lighting shot is eye candy. lighting is also heavily used for symbolism, which is a nice touch. storywise, it's definitely a painful watch at some points, but not in a bad way. more painful as it goes on, but to a lesser degree than breaking bad. the stunts jimmy manages to pull off never left me unimpressed, no matter how concerning. the characters are much more complex. they're all given their time to shine and be understood. and every plot poin…
(CASTELLANO) Lo primero que me ha pasado con Better Call Saul es lo inevitable: compararla todo el rato con Breaking Bad. Y claro, ahí siempre sale perdiendo un poco. No tiene esos estallidos de adrenalina, ni esa sensación constante de que todo va a explotar en cualquier momento. Es una serie más pausada, más contenida, que prefiere quedarse en los matices y en los silencios antes que en los grandes golpes de efecto. Aun así, me ha gustado mucho; simplemente juega en otra liga, más discreta, pero muy pensada. Lo que más engancha es ver cómo Jimmy McGill se va deslizando, casi sin darse cuenta, hacia Saul Goodman. No es un giro brusco, es una deriva lenta, llena de pequeñas decisiones dudosas que vas entendiendo, aunque no las compartas. Ese “yo soy yo y mi circunstancia” aquí se ve clarísimo: familia, rencores, necesidad de reconocimiento, dinero, ego… Todo se mezcla…
