Better Call Saul "Marco" Review (Spoilers!)

4/9/2015

by Robbie Jones

This is it, ladies and gents. The first season of Breaking Bad spin-off Better Call Saul has come to an end. It may have its issues, but they’re not important because the show has ended on a high, and that’s what we all wanted. It’s been a very up-and-down experience watching this show; more often than not, it was utterly great. The performances were terrific, the writing superb and overall it just made for great entertainment, but then at times it suffered pacing issues and boring plots. That was why there was a certain degree of fear approaching this season finale, but luckily, there was nothing to worry about.

There’s only one episode left of Better Call Saul, and whilst that’s not as sad a statement as it should be, we could be looking at an excellent finale following this week’s heartbreaking penultimate episode.

Better Call Saul has really been up and down for its first season. At times it’s been great, with excellent performances and good humour, and other times, it’s been terribly slow and quite boring. Every week, whether it was good or bad, the episode ends and it begs the question “What will next week be like?” because so far it’s been hard to guess any kind of consistency. Well, it feels like the last two episodes of the show might be pretty damn good, if this week is anything to go by.

Breaking Bad painted Saul Goodman as a bit of scumbag. He lacked a lot of morals, but Jimmy McGill certainly does not. This week’s episode of Better Call Saul is far from great, but in terms of character development, it did an excellent job.

It’s time again for Better Call Saul, although it seems no one called him since he’s barely in this week’s episode. Last week, the Breaking Bad spin off finally picked up the pace and offered us our first truly excellent episode, and the streak continues as we get an episode dedicated to the back story of BrBa favourite Mike.

Praise the Lord! Whilst this week’s episode of Better Call Saul may have adopted Homeland Season Four’s weird habit of “Episode named after random quote from episode that has absolutely no relevance”, it has improved greatly since last week’s dud episode. This week’s strengths include its humour and the chemistry of its cast, but most notably, the improved pace.

Nobody was expecting Better Call Saul to be better than or even as good as Breaking Bad; we knew a bar had been set and that it wasn’t trying to be reached, so you’d think that, with this mindset, disappointment wouldn’t be too large a factor when watching the show. Disappointment shouldn’t be a factor full stop really because Better Call Saul is far from bad, but much like last week, this week’s episode is problematic for one reason and one reason alone: Pacing.

It’s been well over a year since Breaking Bad left our screens, and many of us still aren’t over it. We can re-watch it and debate about it as much as we want, but the days of Walter White and Jesse Pinkman are over. However, it’s not quite over for Saul Goodman, Bob Odenkirk’s fast talking lawyer who acted as the comic relief for the show. We finally get to see his spin off show, Better Call Saul, a series that acts as both a prequel and sequel to Breaking Bad, with apparently some parts even taking place during the show. The show aired its first two episodes at the start of this week, but were they any good?
