Note: I had to cut out a clip during the witness segment because it got my video blocked worldwide, explaining the awkward cut at that segment. Other than that, the video should be intact. Gonna be fixing this issue in the supercut 👍
Is that cause of copyright issues? :(
@@kaaiuta Yeah
It was funny so it's all good
my binge your entire tier list series sesh is ruined
Watching all of Better Call Saul season three, writing a script, recording a voice over, and ranking each episode all in about a month is amazing.
Or really sad
@@Manjustman_25806mostly incredible
@@Manjustman_25806having a name that's just sam, is sad. Sam I am Dr suess ass.

@@Manjustman_25806this is very impressive. Whats sad is someone like you commenting a shit reply like this. You couldve been doing something productive with your life like watching all of Better Call Saul season three, writing a script, and recording it
In an era of surface level female “girl-boss” characters, Kim truly shines. She’s layered, vulnerable, and has genuine flaws. But she’s also extremely competent, intelligent, and charismatic. She’e just an amazing character and one of the best in the BB universe…
And she’s a fucking baddie
Truer words have never been spoken
They hate it Jesus,For he speaks the truth
better rim kim?
The best characters are always those that have flaws and traits, because it makes them real.
😮
So usually when Chuck goes outside he goes all balistic right?
The only time he doesn't is when he was berating Jimmy when he was on his way to being arrested.
It's such an intriguing way to show that really his "condition" is only affected by how he is currently feeling towards Jimmy.
there was other moments in the series, all of which are meant to show how the illness is in his head, i think the most import one in the series was after they discovered sand piper and were working on it together, and chuck was distracted and walked outside to the mail box and checked some things inside it, which included jimmy's phone. It's meant to show how the illness represents chuck's internalized resentment of jimmy, and that if he puts that aside he doesn't feel the pain from electricity. It's also supposed to be a "what if" thing where it showed that chuck and jimmy could have gotten along, and how it was the only way for chuck to get over his sensitivity to electricity and get better.
@@gumibear9161I don’t feel like Chucks condition has anything to do with Jimmy actually. I think it is all to do with how Chuck never let himself fully feel the sadness of his wife leaving, and then letting himself heal. He just bottles it up, exactly the way Jimmy bottles up his feelings about Chucks death.
@@brileyford5856 that’s a good point, it’s more broadly just manifested from him pushing away everyone he loves, and once he has lost everyone he kills himself, howard being the last
@@brileyford5856no it’s about Jimmy. The state of his condition reflects his relationship with Jimmy. When they were working together on the sandpiper case, he held an electronic and felt nothing. When he spoke to Jimmy for the last time and ended their relationship, his condition got worse then ever and he killed himself. Maybe it started due to his wife leaving but during the story of the show, it’s a reflection of their relationship.
As an older sibling, Chuck’s line of “you never mattered that much to me” upset me. I could NEVER say something like that to my younger sibling-
I could, outta spite though. Id still take a bullet for em any day and they know it deep down
@@A1_Amir Hell no, not even out of spite man, there’s some stupid things you can say but not that
I on the other hand could say something like that to your younger sibling
As a younger sibling whose older brother practically raised me, similarly to how chuck was jimmys father figure, I could never imagine being told that and if I was, i can’t begin to imagine how I’d react
@@Mamaluigi13 thats some pussy shit right there. Sibling beef can go up n down and if you cannot tolerate it, you aint close enough
6:40 is probably one of Jimmy's most underrated moments, he gets caught, searching for a dead drop, in the middle of a kingpins restaurant, head halfway down a garbage can, and is able to poker face GUS FRING into believing his watch story. Saul Gooseman Lawyery Man at Law hard at work once again
My favourite scene in the show tbh
One thing I love about Chuck's character is how much of a presence he remains in the following seasons in spite of his death. That's something really hard for a writer to do naturally.
The way both BB and BCS handle character deaths are really good. They always feel impactful and are always mentioned. Another example of this is Jane's death. The fact that Jesse spent nearly an entire season mourning her makes everything seem more realistic and grounded.
55:10 "He doesn't think about the long term actions of his consequences" truly inspirational mr beat rice
Oops
"oops"? I thought you said it on purpose as a joke
@@MTGandP No lmao, I legit didn't notice that I messed up the line. When I was recording I thought it sounded a bit odd, but I thought nothing of it and carried on
@@BeatRiceIsHerewhen your vids are so good fans assume your mistakes are intentional
26:00 What always strikes me most about Chuck's Chicanery rant is just how childish his tone becomes (which is a fabulous bit of acting from Michael McKean) which just really sells the idea that his resentment of Jimmy has built up since childhood.
“Treating Jimmy like he just burned his house down” “Sometimes foreshadowing can be quite obvious”
17:30 Another thing in particular that I absolutely LOVE about Chuck’s EHS is how the writers use it to make him feel so much more important, revered, and ominous than he already does. There are a couple of scenes throughout the show where there’ll be a meeting going on or something. Then, all of a sudden and without warning, someone walks in, turns off the lights, and starts collecting everyone’s phones. No one has said he’s on his way or even mentioned his name, and he hasn’t even entered the scene yet, but with that action alone you KNOW that Charles McGill is coming. It makes it feel like Chuck is royalty, and everyone else in the scene are his subjects dropping everything to prepare for the honor of his arrival. It really helps to drive home how much sway he has in the legal community, and how incredibly difficult it would be to take him on if he had you in his sights.
Like you said in the video, it’s extremely impressive how, by giving Chuck EHS, the writers gave him a character trait that is so versatile and can be used to deepen his character in so many wildly different ways. This video was a really entertaining watch, and I’m excited to see your breakdown of the rest of the series!
Major props to this guy for acknowledging that having a hatred for a character doesn't mean you should give shit to the actor🙏🙏
That's just common sense bruv unless the actor is an ahole irl too
Pretty common sentiment there bud
@@VEV-cu6no look dude i’m a fan of Star Wars so seeing that sentiment is pretty rare for me😭
@@perrytheplatypus5047The truth in that statement😂 Star Wars fans are something else
When BCS first started I was like why did they choose such a young actress to play Kim? Then my jaw dropped when I found out her age... Lalo was right when he told Jimmy "For somebody that marries that high up, you have my respect"😂
I just dont get why @beat_rice is complaining about Kim's feet shots. They are a gift from almighty god himself
@@Ofthehuntbro 💀
@@Ofthehunt Settle down there, Tarantino.
I thought she was 40 at most. Not god damn 50. Btw feet are gross and ugly.
Dude you are so right about Rhea like damn how can someone be so attractive
I’ve seen Breaking Bad 14 times through, BCS 3 times - seeing others dive into this incredible series just brings hope to humanity
14 TIMES?
Only 3 more months
True
I mean I love BB and BCS as much as anybody else but you do know that there are other good shows out there right?
Thank you father rice for injecting me with this sweet sweet Saul
40:00 You made a mistake here, he wasn't searching the driver's corps, he was searching the corps of the good samaritan who got shot by Hector after finding and freeing the driver who's been tied up by Mike in s2 (Indeed to bring closure to the family, just not the driver's one, the one of the good samaritan)
Besides that, great video as usual. Still very funny, good analysis, and solid ranking. I personnally disagree with Sabrosito above Five-O, but as you yourself said it's controversial lol, and in my opinion Witness is a S-tier episode, this episode is an absolute banger. Looking forward to your videos about the next seasons! We can clearly see your love for those shows and it's great
Yea the driver was buried out by hectors compound in the dessert
>Loses his shit in court once
>Dies
>Greatest legal mind I ever knew
Bravo Chuck
"This one is jam-packed with some fantastic moments."
*Footage of Hector (not)saying Balls from the prior skit.*
"As well as a ton of great shots."
*Footage of Gus prepping for his 3-pointer.*
I see what you did there, and you have earned a subscription.
the fact is Chuck killed himself in the first place because he was so guilty about what he said to jimmy. immediatley as jimmy leaves, Chuck looks distraught at what had just come out of his mouth. then he relapses. he goes for the worst. He's so distraught and guilty of what he said to jimmy that it manifested itself back into his illness, just like it had when rebecca left him. he cant bear the pain and his mind subconsciously translates this pain in relation to his delusion regarding the electricity. he eventually kills himself because of this extreme guilt because he did actually love jimmy in his own way, as we can see in season 4 episode 10.
15:40 A little annoyed you didn’t mention our main man Lyle offering to take out the entire cartel for Gus. Man was stone cold.
Season 3 was my favorite seasons of both BCS and BB.
I'm a little sad knowing that unless Vince makes a new IP, we might never get a show like these two for a very long time. Shows like Breaking Bad especially are once-in-a-blue-moon type shows. If you weren't _there_, you didn't get it. Thank god it had a resurgence tho so more people could appreciate it for what it is: A work of art. Same goes with Better Call Saul. I remember when Season 3 or 4 was premiering on Netflix (back when I paid for shows and movies lol) and I didn't care for it cause I was too young to appreciate it. But now that I'm older, I understand the complete product way more and I applaud not just the writers but the actors, producers, set/costume designers, and everyone else who make these shows as great as they are.
Thankfully Vince is already working on a new show over at Apple TV+
Vince just announced that his new show is going to be some kind of sci fi show that also takes place in New Mexico and that it'll have Kim in it, apparently as the lead.
Well we had overall 2 great shows with great finales with no loose ties left
I think it is a good place to stopthere and then
nobody wants a show like the walking dead again that after peaking with 10 millikon views overstays its welcome for so long that not even 1 million people bother to watch the finale
Not only was this an excellent ranking of Season 3's episodes, but the use of orchestral music from The Great Ace Attorney during "Chicanery" was on another level.
"The scenes with Chuck and Jimmy getting along are the most painful" Yeah, I completely agree, because Chuck is in those scenes.
You would do INCREDIBLY well doing this for Succession 👀 your sense of humor fits that show’s whole vibe perfectly
That show is definitley up for consideration
@@BeatRiceIsHereI will personally give you head if you do so
Chicanery is one of the most perfect episodes in my eyes. I love how everything slowly builds up to the revelation that Chuck just flat out resents Jimmy.
this is genuinely one of the most exciting events of october for me bro i love your content so much
One detail I'm just noticing about these rankings is that at the title card for every episode before the summary there's a bit of static and a dip into black and white just like how the show's title sequence degrades in quality each season. You gotta enjoy that attential to detail in these reviews
Dude, your comment at 9:30 about O'Denkirk's acting really improving this season made me think of the "Google autocomplete interview" he did when the question was "When did Bob O'Denkirk begin acting?" and before he answered he quipped, "starting with season 3 of Better Call Saul". Maybe there was something subconscious with him feeling like the show truly was a success at that point and starting with season 3, he was on cruise control.
This season really made me hate Chuck. And after all that the next season has probably my favorite moment of Jimmy and Chuck with them at Karaoke.
I will likely be talking about that scene at length in the next video lmao
Bro I'm drunk af but I'm gonna watch this when I'm sober ily
I live for your YTP editing
YTP will outlive cringe Tiktok shit
the amount of effort that goes into writing a script with this many jokes whilst still being a good summary is really impressive
22:23 'Reasonably happy'
See what you did there!
55:47 Foreshadowing: a literary device in which a writer gives an advance hint of what is to come later in the story
One minor correction. In "Slip", Mike finds the body of the Good Samaritan that Hector executed, not the truck driver. Mike could give two shits about the truck driver since he was working for Hector.
Somethin I noticed after watchin Lantern again is that the number on the power meter never changes, it continues ticking, but power meters have a counter on them recording electrical usage, and the number never increases whenever he looks at it. Really shows how Chuck truly was insane even as far as hallucinating a reason for his symptoms, insteada realizin it was tied to Jimmy
It's so interesting to me to see the difference in Jimmy and Chuck. Jimmy's at his worst when Chuck is ruining his life, and Chuck is at his worst when Jimmy is starting to outshine him yet again. Chuck is a cancer hurting everyone around him, ruining everyone around him, and yet because of that, he never gets the help he needs. It's a circle of horrible.
I just want to say how much I appreciate this CZcams series. Your analysis and comedy is genuinely a hidden gem - and these videos a great way to re-experience and re-contextualise the series.
Keep it up man! I'll continue to watch!
The biggest part of Chuck and Jimmy's dynamic, I think, is that both of them are driven to their worst selves by each other because Chuck is unwilling to forgive Jimmy or give him a shot at anything other than hanging onto the lowest rung of the ladder. Chuck's illness is caused by Jimmy's antics, but Jimmy's antics in BCS are fueled mostly by fallout from Chuck's actions. When Jimmy gets sabotaged or is looked down on by Chuck, he resorts to scams to make up the difference. Jimmy views everybody like Chuck and believes that he can never be given a true second chance or be forgiven, which he outright states in the season 4 finale after the scholarship meeting. It's a twisted feedback loop where they both drive each other down perpetually. Brilliant writing.
59:27 Chuck being one of the most hateable characters in the BB-verse really is a feat. When I was first watching BCS I was telling people I'm amazed they managed to write an even bigger narcissistic manbaby than Walter White.
bro literally hallucinated an allergy to electricity because he hated his brother so much. reverse flash levels of resentment.
"It was me jimmy"@@wuhlfzebayne
Love the continuation about Kim writing your script. Your jokes are transcending videos. 😂 It’s going to be awesome when you combine all the videos at the end.
I literally haven’t laughed this hard (the Shaq part) since watching The Office where Kevin tells Oscar that he’d “REEEAAAALLLY like jail” 😂
Your point about Chuck choosing to berate Jimmy for being wrong instead of encouraging him to do the right thing is so refreshing because I've seen almost nobody mention that aspect of it, while i always noticed that about him. If Chuck had used his brother's respect for him to set him on the right path, maybe Jimmy wouldn't have ended up such a liar and con. Instead, Chuck was engulfed by his own jealousy, convincing himself that Jimmy cannot change despite continuously belittling him and never really trying to help him change,
How you know he didn't try that early in his life and Jimmy just took advantage of it
You are one of the few channels that have kept me hooked for months without doing anything. Bravo Rice
Lovely! So worth the wait, I’m excited for season 4 tier list
bro idk why but ur voice litteraly helps me sleep, ive rewatched your BB series and all the BCS episodes a lot lmao
The whole "irene getting alone and hated" subplot is the only moraly reprehensable thing gene has done.
Truly when Gene Goodgill became Saulemberg.
You know, when Heull Babinaux is reasonably happy, it's a good day.
i just finished watching the entire show, i honestly can't wait to see how Beat Rice reviews the rest of the show.
I had to get out of the funeral just to watch this, Thanks Beat Rice!
Hey! Saw your comment on TWD video and thought I recognised your name (saw your BB video) You're killing it with these videos, keep it up man good to see another creator doing well from the BB / BCS universe
Thanks a ton man!!
Howesenberg and BeatRice in the same YT video what is this a crossover episode?
Can't wait for Part 4 in two hours. Better rush it Mr. Beating my Rice.
I'm rewatching this show for the first time and it gives me such a huge appreciation for the early seasons. I loved it a lot my first watch but it's even better the second time around. What a perfect show
i love your explanation of chuck and jimmy in the last episode, i think thats why this show is a really good tragedy, jimmy could have been a better person but he isnt and thats very sad and its portrayed in the most beautiful way possible
Damn jimmy telling chuck he’s gonna burn down his house peak foreshadowing
I’m so excited to crack into this. Thank you for all of your hard work to make such great videos!
Dude, you have talent. I could never make a video of this high quality in a million years.
Always love your energy and jokes that you put into these tierlist vids cant wait for the next one
Great video as always and I absolutely love how you used the soundtrack of great ace attorney in the video ESPECIALLY during chicanery 👌
This hour video went by so fast. Another banger, amazing job 🙌
I really like the Great Ace Attorney music on the Chicanery trial, good job and liked the video
Omg Ive been waiting for this to come out ever since I saw the previous ones, you cant even imagine
GOD I love your analysis on tge episodes. Thank you very much Beat. Even pointing out things I've missed. You're the man!
Thank you rice for absorbing the moisture from my phone which I dropped into toilet, what allowed me to watch this masterpiece. Truly one of the moments of all time
Just finished watching your Breaking Bad tier list and as I was like damn that was good too bad it's over, this fresh, crispy video popped up, excellent editing as always
your videos make me wanna rewatch the show keep up the good work bro
Probably watched this (and the other videos) about 4-5 times. I got trouble falling asleep due to depression, ADHS and tinnitus and these videos are perfect for that, because they are constantly moving, are about an interesting subject, they run for a decent amount of time and it's noise.
I know this video is about to be a banger
Bro i knew i needed to watch this show. And this is just a great recap with amazing jokes, also pretty good editing. I love this channel
Bro I just found your account and you are genuinely hilarious, I thoroughly enjoy watching all of your recaps. "She invites Jimmy to smoke crack with her friends" and the Kim feet bit were my personal favorites, keep up the great work my man
another banger by beat rice ive rewatched all the tier list stuff about 3 times now
52:50 I felt like it was a period piece of the early 2000's while watching too. And it was kind of surreal to see that for a time period that still feels fairly recent to my old ass.
I do not remember Gus Kobe-ing the garbage. I cracked tf up
YES!!! Can’t wait for the next review, I was look forward to these. This is awesome work man!
For sure made my month, thanks for the hard work you put into these videos ;; it means a lot to us
Gentleman, the time has come. Billions must beat rice.
I finished breaking bad when you uploaded your better call Saul season one review, and finnished better call Saul around the time of your season 2 review. Needless to say, I've been looking forward to this video for a long time, ever since chicanery (obviously).
Your comedy is fire. I love these videos. Hope to see season 4 real soon!
Mate you had me pissing laughing so many times in all of your videos, your humour is a real welcome breath of fresh air. It comes through that you're having fun while editing for real. Love your work. Also love the subtle use of the Great Ace Attorney music for the courtroom scenes by the way. Really great touch 👌
Brilliant vid, well done as always. cant wait for 4!
What a banger man! Been looking forward to this video for ages
This season is fire. One of, if not the best season of Better Call Saul
back to comment again. Tonight while the Mrs. was watching Slip for the first time I noticed that when Jimmy is lying on the floor while playing the guitar Kim claims that Jimmy seemed fine yesterday, but then Jimmy corrects her and says that he hasn't seen her since Tuesday. Just a very small detail snuck in to show how tired and overwhelmed Kim is before the crash at the end of the next episode.
Literally just found this channel today which uploads monthly and now I immediately get a video, lucky timing
Cant wait for the season 4 video your content is really nice
I really appreciate you using aruarian dance by Nujabes as the background music. Made what was already a perfect video even more better.
Love all your context man keep it up
Thank you for these wonderful videos, truly
Been waiting for this video a long time I’m hyped
Finalllyyy here thanks for your A1 production & dedication been waiting on this one 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 keep ya foot on they neck
First the "i hope chuck died in a fire" And then the 53:56
The foreshadowing is crazy
39:00 Ooouu, I love a subtle bit of foreshadowing
I know a lot of people have their problems with the last few episodes, but I thought that big scene with Jeffy and Jim O'Heir (not describing because of spoilers) was fucking incredible. It's one of the best scenes from the show and just shows everything about who Jimmy McGill is.
I really love that football joke at 11:43 Got to say, the CBS UI is awesome.
I'm out of words, literally, this is amazing!
Can't sleep at 5 AM and I have Saturday classes in three hours. Perfect time to watch this!
31:53 for now
Your summery is amazing i have watched all of bttter call saul (for now) and breaking bad like the whole thing and i havent been board one bit. Keep it up
Not sure if this is worth mentioning or not, but in the first episode of this season, Chuck talks about a nightlight Jimmy owned that Chuck thought would "burn the whole house down"...
The edit of Lyle clapping had me rolling
Y'know I was having a good day until I saw this & realized I also need to finish watching BCS.
I'm not ready for the emotion.
