The writing on Better Call Saul is as tight as any show on television, with every scene feeling like it has thematic or narrative purpose without being overwritten.... Of course, the writing is helped by a cast who seems even more confident this year.

The show's writing is as economic and poetically parred. Each moment is compact, leading to the next with unpredictable, behaviorally astute precision.

Retaining its top-notch character development and deliberate, calculated execution, Better Call Saul delivers a season just as engrossing as its predecessor, if not more so.

The season's first two episodes confirm everything that was obvious by the end of last year: Jimmy's doomed attempt to play things straight and not go back to his con man Slippin' Jimmy ways is much too fertile an area to be abandoned so quickly. It feels like a creative choice rather than a commercial one (as opposed to all those times Dexter Morgan managed to evade the brilliant investigators at Miami Metro because his ratings were too high), and the choice plays out in fascinating ways early in Saul season 2.

In its first two episodes, season two of Saul offers a welcome return to form.

Better Call Saul is a good yarn. It is also exactly the sort of show it is hard to imagine getting greenlit on its own merits. It’s great, but its arc--a working stiff who becomes a shadier working stiff, and then, when things get really exciting, the show ends, because the exciting part already happened on another show--is not the sort that sells in the room.

Better Call Saul season two is not yet as gripping as season one’s best episodes were. But there’s plenty of reasons to bet it soon could be.

Better Call Saul continues to display many of the same qualities as “Breaking Bad,” including its disarming quirkiness and embrace of stillness and quiet, as well as its unpredictability and occasional bouts of menace. That said, it’s so laconic, and less urgent in terms of its stakes at this stage, as to at times become a little too sleepy.

Given that Breaking Bad is a masterpiece, being its prequel is a very difficult and demanding task. There are very high expectations. And yet, I'm glad to say Better Call Saul manages to be a very worthy prequel. Interesting, well-written story and very solid performance from the actors. If you liked Breaking Bad, you'll like Better Call Saul.

This show should be much better. I like so many things here and again the makers have created a great character study. Unfortunately this series is just too slow and boring. At the end of the second series you expect something big to happen and it just never comes

Better Call Saul is a tale of two seasons. I understand the overarching purpose of the series is 'character development of Saul.' And season 1 managed to parlay that into an unpredictable mashup of memorable life events and comedic moments for Saul. Even though we know how he turns out in BB, Season 1 managed to deliver unpredictable moments that were critical in Saul's transition from good lawyer to bad lawyer. Season two Is WAY more melancholy, WAY more distracted with his relationships, and basically turns the chick lawyer into the main character. Odenkirk for best supporting actor.... Billy Bob Thorton's Goliath became what BCS should have become.

Viciado, é engraçado e escuro. mais sem fococted, it's funny and dark. Amazing cinematography with a look unlike any other show currently on TV. It's a wonderful series, and it only gets better!

My advice is quit while you are behind this show is awful. Slow boring and not very funny. If you want something to fall asleep to this is the show for you.
