Title: Better Call Saul

Review: What is there to day about the precursor to Breaking Bad, and what is likely the best show on television since The Wire. Odenkirk is pathetically wonderful in the title role and his crisis of faith are so subtle that you can miss them with a blink of an eye. Banks is the master of aging menace, Esposito is evil incarnate and the cast is a miracle. The story never ceases to shock and amaze and the dialog lulls you into sleep mode and then hits you over the head. Odenkirk’ ongoing complex and tortured transformation from Jimmy to Saul is a role for the ages. Miserably, the sixth and final season is currently underway and can be watched on AMC. It will be a divided season with half the episodes now and the reminder in the fall. Say it ain’t so, Saul!
