Better Call Saul is one hell of a ride, especially with its Breaking Bad connection and spectacular work by James McGill as Saul Goodman. The chaotic show is amazing at portraying how actions and choices lead to consequences and there is specifically a lot to learn from Better Call Saul.
One of the best pieces of TV work out there, Better Call Saul has proved itself to be called a follow-up on Breaking Bad. Initially meant to be only a half-hour comedy, the series is known for inducing full-bellied laughs along with some seriously tense situations that could have you on the edge of your seat.
Here are all the best moments from the show of all time:-
Season 1
The season has been amazing from its very first season. remember when Saul Goodman and Jimmy had decided to con the Kegttlemans. But then things got pretty bad when they tried besting the twins who insulted the abuelita.
Jimmy soon learns of the Salamanca crime family as well as Nacho gets to leech the Ketteman's money. The first two episodes were solid enough, showing how Saul could reach his highs at times and then also have his downfalls.
Then, the audience got to see Mike, played by Jonathan Banks) reach the Philly cop and become the most brutal henchmen ABQ has ever seen from being a Philly cop. It was heartwrenching and thrilly to see Mike go through the death of his son and turn into a revenge-seeking entity with rage in his heart.
On the other hand, Kimmy gets closer than ever to his journey of becoming a lawyer when he decides to visit the Sandpiper Assisted Living. Seeing how thoroughly corrupted the entire thing was, he decided to get along with his brother Chuck, played by Michael McKean.
However, it was not a scheme only two people could bust on their own. Hence, the McGill brothers take the case to HHM and Jimmy tries all he can to bring justice. But, he sets himself for a final heartbreak when he realizes that it was in fact his brother Chuck who caused him to lose the case with HHM.
It is specifically at this moment when the drift between the true brothers grew beyond repair.
Season 2
Taking off to season 2, we see Nacho proposing an ultimatum to Mike, simple in terms, but the command to kill Tuco, played by Raymond Cruz, was not as easy to bring about as said. Mike tried besting the solution so that he doesn't have to kill off Tuco, only to start a chain dominoes reaction that would later heighten up the beef between the Salamancas and him.
The ill-fated events saw Mike robbing the drug trucks of Hector, played by Mark Margolis. The operation curbed the seat of power for the Salamanca but got inadvertently caught up with another operating team that stopped Mike from Killing Tio Salamanca in the finale of Season 2.
Other notable events in the season included Jimmy changing 1261 to 1216 in Chuck's file for the Mesa Verde branch, just a year after Magna Carta. This one decision led to the eventual arrest of Jimmy and Kim once again becoming the counsel figure for the Mesa Verde branch.
Though Kim figured out what Jim had done, she did not question why he did that and in fact, was thrilled by his capability. Later, the two together conned the stockbroker and Kim knew that she had found a match in Jimmy.
Season 3
An iconic moment in the series was the reprising character of the Break Bad villain Gus Frind, played by Giancarlo Esposito, in the third season of the show. It was Gus who compromised Mike's assassination operation and hence the assassin had to find his way to the villain.
Gus shows Mike respect and the latter finds himself employed in Gus's team. He is asked to once again target the trucks of Hector. On the other end, Kim meets a bad accident as she drives when overworked and tired and crashes on the wheel when returning home from Mesa Verde.
The season also shows a gripping narrative of the beef between Chuck and Jimmy as the two come head to head. Chuck is brought to a low point when Jimmy tricks him with a battery trap and reveals that he is actually mentally sick.
Yet, their dispute carries on into the future from their epic face-off in the bar. Jimmy goes a step further when he is visiting the insurance office and decides out of nowhere that he wants to report Chuck.
Once HHM revealed his mental illness, Chuck's fury knew no bounds, and none of Jimmy's words could amend the wrong that he had committed. Angry Chuck tells Jimmy that he never cared for him, and while he had tried hurting Jimmy, the comment only made Chuck feel worse about himself. In fact, he gets so affected by that one remark that he ended up taking his own life.
Season 4
Nacho has a good time in season 4 when he manages to connect with Fring along with busting Hector and his drug business. While it would have been a good moment for him, he finds himself in the middle of the Fring and Salamanca beef and is forced to appease both sides.
Then there is Gus trying to uproot the Salamancas for once and all and begins building a drug lab in the basement of his laundromat. Mike leads the security of the place, who is only biding his time until he could escape the place himself.
Mike ends up killing Werner, played by Rainer Bock, for his freedom but not before Werner alerts Lalo, played by Tony Dalton, who is substituting for Tio.
Jimmy takes Chuck's death pretty badly but finds a job for himself as a cell phone salesman, where he finds that he could also be a drop phone salesman. This is once again where he once again dons his Saul Goodman persona.
He tries getting back to the bar but is rejected. Yet adamant, he tries again and this time scores better luck and brings Kim into believing his intentions. Jimmy receives his reinstatement to the bar and chooses Saul Goodman as his alias for working at the bar.
Now, the series is in its finale season, which is expected to prove good on the reputation the series has built for itself throughout its long run in these years. It would be amazing to see how Saul and Kim, who now has a penchant for dangerous schemes, would score in their final days.
