Breaking Bad Spinoff, prequel: Better Call Saul

[Baitball Blogger]

“Better Call Saul,” a prequel spinoff of “Breaking Bad,” is moving forward at AMC.

On Wednesday, the network and Sony Pictures Television confirmed that they’ve reached a licensing agreement to do a new show featuring Saul Goodman, the sleazy and resourceful lawyer portrayed by Bob Odenkirk on the critically adored drama series, which will end its run later this month.

“Better Call Saul” would be an hour-long drama, lighter in tone than “Breaking Bad,” and focusing on Goodman’s “evolution” before he became the attorney for meth mastermind Walter White.

Goodman joined the “Breaking Bad” universe in its second season and has stuck around as a fan favorite.

5. If it's Jose Malina it'll be great.

I know this guy.
He was a friend of my son-in-law's at Yale.
They still keep in touch.
He is just brilliant.

2. Oh great, thanks for the huge SPOILER!!

(kidding) No, since it's about his pre-BB existence, he could still end up dead by the end of this season.

At first I thought this must be The Onion.

3. Hopefully they have an episode featuring Lalo

In the episode "Better Call Saul", when Walt & Jessie had him in front of a hole out in the desert he was screaming "Oh, no, no, no! No, it wasn't me. It was Ignacio. He's the one."

"Lalo didn't send you? No Lalo?"
"Who?"
"Oh, thank God! Oh, Christ!"

6. It is designed to be pretty addictive

and I admit I am hooked.
The show is carefully crafted, even down to the change of clothe's color hues over the season.
Very intense, sometimes funny moments.
Best way to catch up is to rent the first season from Netflix or something and just sit thru the first 3 episodes, see what happens.
