Better Call Saul: S1, Episode 6 (Five-O) - Patreon Version

N.T. Stars

This show really enriches the Breaking Bad rewatch. There are tons of episodes of BCS like this that recontextualize large portions of BB, essentially turning it into a whole new show. Prequel writing at its best, imo!

Jonathan Banks does kill it in this episode. And yeah, we really get down to how this isn't just Saul/Jimmy's show! It's funny that the show is called Better Call Saul, yet the main character doesn't even go by that name and episodes like this barely even feature him. For brand new viewers, it must be quite confusing lol. Mike does get shot in the ear a few years down the line in Breaking Bad, but there's never been any insinuation that he can't hear out of one ear. :P With the "you're the kind of lawyer guilty people hire" from before, and now Mike's reaction when he asked how he knew he'd do the coffee stunt... seems like people can see straight through Jimmy's straight-man efforts :/ Does he just sorta give off a seedy vibe maybe?

Wow! This was a really good episode. Felt to me kind of a bridge between BB and Better Call Saul. More dark and less comedy. Maybe to help BB fans stay on board with the show? Jonathan Banks was awesome. Thanks for the cool video!

I do wonder that... We love him as the audience because we know him so well now, but if we had just met him on the street, maybe we'd see him that way too?

Lots of this episode remind me a bit of the movie The Place Beyond the Pines maybe you could watch it in your channel in the future.

The Mike backstory is just amazing and heartbreaking and really shows the acting ability of Jonathon Banks. I've been just binging the reactions to BCS and I can't wait to catch up with where you are. I've watched this show so many times. I honestly think it's better than Breaking Bad. Breaking Bad was a masterpiece of a show, but Better Call Saul shows that it was just a warmup for Vince Gilligan to perfect his storytelling :)
