Better Call Saul - Season 04

"Better Call Saul" deserved all of the plaudits it received in its first three seasons. The series follows one of the many memorable characters from "Breaking Bad," Jimmy McGill (Bob Odenkirk), as he curdles into Saul Goodman. This DVD set contains all ten episodes of the fourth season of "Better Call Saul" that originally aired on AMC from August to October in 2018. This season moves Jimmy ever closer to his role in the parent series, tracking him during his year-long suspension from practicing law. He reacts to the death of his brother Chuck (Michael McKean), continues his relationship with fellow lawyer Kim Wexler (Rhea Seehorn), and becomes more adept at dealing with the seamier elements of Albuquerque while beginning to build the clientele he would "serve" as Saul Goodman. The absorbing plot concerning Gus Fring (Giancarlo Esposito), Mike Ehrmantraut (Jonathan Banks), and the Salomanca drug ring runs alongside. As in "Breaking Bad," creators Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould use unique and creative camera angles to help tell the stories, and again this season the writing is superb, the characters are compelling (I would watch a spinoff concerning virtually any of the show's main characters), and the cinematography of Albuquerque and the surrounding New Mexico desert is as good as it gets. Fans eagerly await the last season or two of this instant classic.

Good series.

Better Call Saul season 4 has a storyline that keeps my attention and has me wondering what is going to happen as the plot unfolds. Anyone who enjoyed the Breaking Bad series will undoubtedly love it’s prequel Better Call Saul. This really is a great show with lots of interesting characters.

It'd be hard to imagine Breaking Bad without this series - it adds so much depth to BB, in the same fashion as Godfather 2 did to the original. Imagine the first Godfather as a stand-alone film. I doubt it would be as highly regarded (and) beloved. As for plot points and characters from BCS: any words would be spoilers of the highest order! I don't want the villagers from Frankenstein at my house. Believe you me, this is no cynical cash in - quickly dispelled after the the first episode of the first season. One of the best series on the air.

Anyone who is familiar with this excellent show needs no introduction but for those not familiar with it I highly recommend it. From the makers of the Emmy winning TV series Breaking Bad comes this just as good if not better prequal to it. Greed, fraud, scheming, drama, murder and yes humor are all what make this show memorable. Highly recommend it and look forward to the upcoming season.

If you’ve haven’t seen this show. from the outside looking in, it seems boring but once you watch it, it has some of the best characters I’ve ever watched and the story is tight and focused.

Continues the BCS story. The first season without Chuck, although he does appear in a couple of flashbacks. This season also marks the first appearance of Lalo. This is the season where Saul tries to find his place in the world after the loss of his law license, and details his efforts to get it back and resume his lawyering. Not the best season--a bridge between Jimmy under the shadow of his brother Chuck and the beginning of his persona as the full Saul Goodman--but Season 4 is a necessary and effective evolution of the Better Call Saul story.

It’s Saul or bust after Jimmy’s older brother and law mentor died in a house fire that Chuck intentionally started (Jimmy later figures out it wasn’t an accident.) Mike is getting closer to Gus via Hector & Nacho, walking a dangerous yet familiar line. Nacho decides he must NOT let the cartel run his fathers business as a front for crime. He devised an ingenious plan to get rid of Don Hector, thus saving his family’s legitimate business. Nacho has switched Hector’s heart meds, but after a failed attempt - Hector still lives...minus a voice, but with a memorable “ding”.

Bello

Edge of your seat. Plot twists, excellent writing, photography.

Cette quatrième saison est dans le droit fil des précédentes, avec un rythme lent qui épouse celui du changement psychologique de Jimmy McGill et sa transformation complète dans l'avocat véreux que l'on a connu dans "Breaking Bad". La jonction avec la série-mère est de fait de plus en plus palpable, les personnages de Mike Erhmentraut et Gustavo Fring étant plus développés que par le passé. Au total, on a une quatrième saison délectable, avec un jeu d'acteurs toujours d'une qualité incroyable, à l'image de la photographie et du montage. On peut juste espérer que les producteurs n'ont pas en tête d'étirer l'histoire trop en longueur et qu'ils sauront se contenter d'une seule saison finale pour clôturer le parcours de Jimmy McGill vers Saul Goodman, quitte à la doter de douze ou quinze épisodes au lieu des dix réglementaires. Et on ne peut qu'espérer un ultime épisode qui nous montrerait la rencontre de Walter White avec Saul Goodman, vue cette fois du point de vue de l'avocat et non de l'apprenti narco-trafiquant.

Excelente serie

Terrific acting by all. Clever plots. I have enjoyed all previous seasons, but reckon this one is the best, so far. Sorry when it ended. Had to start viewing my Breaking Bad discs to fill the void.
