'Better Call Saul' Season 2 finale: Big Brother is always watching
One of the surprising joys of Better Call Saul has (ironically) been the drama’s distance from Breaking Bad’s iconic story lines and its patient exploration of Jimmy McGill’s pre-Saul Goodman life. For many Breaking Bad mega fans, this slow-burn ****** may **t satisfy their need for bullets, plot twists, and nail-biter moments.
But what the show creators — Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould — have accomplished is something greater: the establishment of a world with characters that can truly stand alone, outside the vast shadows of Walter White and his tipped porkpie hat.
