Better call saul real
@@timothytosser288 bro really got sponsor as Hamlin Hamlin McGill
i feel like you didn't go into enough move how much of a alpha move shitting your pants while looking into another mans eyes is
HHM sponsor
thats not HHM or saul goodman
Bro got sponsored by Hamlin&Hamlin McGill
I wouldn't use that firm, I heard one of their partners has a blow problem.
@@Xpwnxage i hear the owner of los pollos has a blowING UP problem 😉
@@Xpwnxage be more exact do you mean blow to the body or to the side of the head
@@jakestan1185 I think he might mean blow as in cocaine‼️
@@XpwnxageI heard one of their partners was sandblasting prostitutes. Must be the same guy 🤷🏻♂️
“It’s important to separate the actor from the character. Some people can’t do that”
*side glancing at all the assholes who harassed/continue to hate on Anna Gunn because they didn’t like Skylar*
There's still people like that they hate Jarjar so much they started attacking, and harassing Ahmed Best he wanted to commit suicide by jumping off of the Brooklyn Bridge. He still with us after a big wind blew him off the side.
Poor Anna Gunn she deserved none of that and the fact that there were actual fans that harassed her is terrible
@@abramsullivan7764 same happened with child Anakin, made him quit acting
Anna Gunn didn't deserve allat
Anna Gunn played an annoying character in the most annoying way possible. Plus she has a horse-face.
I enjoyed the Klepto arc actually. It shows Skylar's change from hating crime to partaking in it. It is clever writing to me. She used to hate just the idea of shoplifting and the embarrassment of being suspected for the crime.
It also really sets up their sister dynamic for later, but it does kind of eat up time lol
I think it shows how awful Marie truly is. At the end of better call Saul....she's throwing all this shade towards Jimmie for helping Walter. Guess what Marie....so did your sister. Plus she was a F'n thief. And her husband was an as**ole. Obviously doesn't compare to what Walt did, but still.....a lot of balls on that woman.
@Nero i love Marie so much...
Marie would have been best friends with Lydia, lol.
I feel like it also adds to her personality with some of the stuff she says later, like telling Walt to off himself when Hank finds out Walt is Heisenberg. I feel like it also shows Hank and Marie arent a perfect couple, they have their own problems too
“$737,000 that’s all i need”
he probably got that before jane even died…
and he still kept going till the end. jesus
Well at the end he said that he did it for himself he liked it, he was good at it, it made him feel like he was alive, and he deserves it. It was his 'Having too much fun.' moment.
Huge props for putting 206 in S tier. To be honest, it is one of the most underrated episodes of the show
Peekaboo is one of the episodes I immediately think about when it comes to Breaking Bad. I don't believe an ATM being tipped over from that height would instantly kill a person though.
@@davidthorson2036wanna try?
The Take has a great video on Marie. Her arc may seem trivial, but it’s an important mirror for what’s happening to Walt. The rationalisations Hank makes for her v. Skylar’s unyielding moral standard foreshadow how things will go with Walt. It’s not to be overlooked.
I watched that video too and they did make good points about the parallel between Marie and Walt
56:55 this painting was also in BCS 609 when Kim and Jimmy were sitting in the hotel room before they ended up breaking up and Jimmy goes full Saul
These tier lists are fantastic.
I can only imagine how long it takes making these videos.
Nice DayZ avatar
@@maxinepricefield That Dayz picture is from 2014 I'm just too lazy to change it.
Arma 2 Overpoch is still better than Dayz Standalone
@@Mantis_Toboggan_TrashMan dayz can get boring after a while, ill try overpoch.
I took Jesse picking the Toyota Tercel over the hot rod as a sign he was growing up. That he wanted to be nondescript, and inconspicuous, not that he couldn't afford the other one. Need to rewatch it though.
No way you got a Morgan and Morgan ad wtf I’ve never seen one of these on CZcams only on billboards on the highway lmao good job man
There is research from a child psychologist that discusses a child first introduction to death is the game peek-a-boo. While watching this review and hearing your words made me connect this with episode 6.
Oohhh that’s a great observation! And that also makes a lot of sense.. makes peek a boo morbid, now, though and I’ll never play it with my future children 😂
*Maries clepto arc i think is to show that everyone "breaks bad" also because of her arc she has Hanks friend in the APD get her off another charge which the officer gives Hank Gale's notebook which eventually causes him to realize Walt is Heisenberg*
so not a fun arc but it has a huge effect in the plot
I never thought of that. It is technically Marie’s fault that Hank got on the trail with the notebook
_"some sort of junkie-human self alarm system"_ I always thought she sounded like an alarm 🤣🤣
Well her laugh is creepy like a humanoid doll.
Love watching Kiwi break down in tiers
Omg you got sponsored by a law firm??? That's amazing.
Its Saul Goodman again
@@vicdansanch oh shucks
Morgan & Morgan are mass sponsoring a bunch of videos from different people I’ve seen lately
Unironically the line ''How can you suggest we kill a man when you can't even open the gun?'' in 201 made me laugh my ass off😂
I struggle with agoraphobia so when going out on my own I like to listen to podcasts or long form videos to not feel so alone.
Your BB season ranking videos were the ones keeping me company today :]
Can't wait for ranking of the rest of the seasons!
Agoraphobia? What's agoraphobia?
@@abramsullivan7764 it's the

LUBIA, I am so sorry that you are going through such a tough situation. I went thru it in the 90s and it is the worst thing. I self medicated which only made things worse. Today I am totally free of it. I go everywhere without any issues and you can too. You have found non alcohol or drug abuse to help you through going out. This means you will overcome this much faster. And you will overcome it. When you go out you aren't alone. Not just listening to these podcasts (excellent choice) but also you have people like me who really are with you every step of the way. God speed.
the morgan and morgan sponsor such a flex 😂
having a law firm as your sponsor on a breaking bad video is incredibly funny
So fuckjng dystopian to see M&M sponsoring a small creator
Don’t forget “baby, girl, I’m a blur” by Say Anything! I was so happy to hear it on here. It plays when Ken steals Walts parking space at the bank.
Man, I always feel bad for gonzo. Noticing how he wears lighter colors, he’s a good person. RIP legend
Lighter colors doesn't necessarily symbolize something good btw
@@sonniesanders2459 yeah but that is only valid for walter if I am not mistaken
@Sonnie Sanders I mean in that sense Tuco was wearing a bright white shirt while bashing No Doze's head to a pancake. Was he a good innocent person? Don't think so...
@@grants3329 ah my good man that wasn’t just a white shirt, it was white with blackened chains all over it. Could’ve been symbolizing how he blends into normal society, while being such an psychopath.
Literally paused to go back and watch. Hector ABSOLUTELY hits SOS on his bell.
The tiara arc also highlights Walt’s inability to confess and resolve his relationship with Skylar when Marie does confess and resolve her’s.
My take on the Marie klepto arc: It has nothing to do with Marie--and definitely not her relationship with Skylar. It has everything to do with Skylar's relationship to the law and morals. When she returns the tiara and is held in the manager's office, she makes a very interesting choice. She could let the police come, explain the situation, and get Marie in trouble. However, she chooses to fake going into labor instead. This tells us two potential things about Skylar. First, it shows that--while she is appalled by Marie's actions--she still chooses to not take the step of getting the law involved, which foreshadows the actions (or in her case, inaction) she takes when she finds out about Walter's much more severe crime. Second, it shows us that honesty is what Skylar values most. Skylar is unwilling to accept any sort of apology from Marie due to her not fessing up. She demands an apology not for the apology but because she needs the truth. We once again see this pop up when she confronts Walt after he is recovered from surgery. She doesn't care if he is having an affair, is doing a crime, sneaking out to play hinky dinky with the punks in the park--the problem is he lied. And, when Walt and Skylar finally sit down and Walt puts everything on the table, this is when the choice is made: Skylar is not going to the police.
After a rough day at work, this video is just what I needed. Thank you!!
Hank's beer didn't pop because they were sealed too tight. They popped because either he bottled them before fermentation stopped, or he miscalculated the sugar addition for bottle carbonation. It's a somewhat common mistake with novice homebrewers. Also, how the heck did he break a bottle with a bench bottle capper? Once you adjust the height for one bottle (which is impossible to get wrong), the plunger only goes down far enough to cap the bottle no matter how hard you push on the lever. There's even a spring-cushion on the plunger.
I watched Breaking Bad since day one (lived in Albuquerque all my life) and to me season 2 is when the show took off in quality and hasn't been matched since by either BCS or Breaking Bad. Thanks for the work you do, Kiwi!
Great catch on the wind-up with the sledgehammer where he was gonna hit Jesse during the ATM scene, I've probably seen that episode at least 4-5 times and I don't think I've ever caught that little detail!
Idk if this was already pointed out or not, but because season 1 was originally going to be 10 episodes, season 2 episode 2 was supposed to be the season 1 finale. When you look at things from that perspective, it definitely makes more sense
It’s like, I knew that but I never thought to watch them like that. I’m going to go back and do it lol
Yesterday I found the season 1 tier list and was sad there's no video for season 2. And there it is! Thanks for your videos, outstanding commentary.
i was having a really bad day but i saw this video and it's really cheering me up. i enjoyed the last season tier list, i really like how you summarize and commentate. thank you
These BCS/BB vids are so damn good, I kind of want you to tackle Metastasis in some form. It would be fascinating to hear your thoughts on what is widely considered an inferior remake.
Lol what do you mean "widely considered to be inferior"? It was designed to be a cheap imitation with horrible acting and cinematography to parasitise off breaking bad's success, it being worse is not even a question
By widely considered you must mean unanimously considered
1:05:37 what he should have done is actually set an alarm to take meds, then make it go off that morning and then he explains the “call” Skylar heard without bringing it up.
Yeah but the whole point is for small things like that to build up and raise suspision for Walt. The show is supposed to be tragic and for things not to go the best way, making every character take the best possible decisions to avoid all consequences and get the best ending defeats the whole point of making a story
@@NoirKirbi I know, I was saying he should have done this by a logical standpoint, with a story standpoint his decision makes sense.
This came out 4 days ago and im only just now seeing this? Im ashamed of myself lol
Love the BCS/BB videos, wether its Tier lists, Recaps, Retrospectives- Rewatched these videos so many times lol
I love the tier lists and your breakdowns of each episode are always so thorough and informative. I always think I know everything about BRBA/BCS lol but I always learn more fun facts from your videos! I also appreciate you mentioning the soundtracks too cause the music of BRBA really contributes to its overall greatness. Thank you for all your hard work Kiwi!!!
Never knew I needed a step by step breakdown of this show like this but sir you have earned a well deserved sub and like hope you make some good cash off these vids because you deserve it bro these are well made and addictive to watch lol
Can't wait to watch this!! Thank you for all the hard work you put in for us bb and bcs fans
I've gotten to the point where I've watched BB so much that it can be background noise. And something I've noticed is that I don't like rewatching season 5. All the glamor is gone, and doom is imminent.
Same.
I put it on while i study Japanese 👍🏾
I love your tier lists so much man, this video saves my evening! Thank you for the amazing content, keep it up!
i watched your tier list for season one earlier today and i looked for season two and i was like dang there isn’t one but now a few hours later you upload season 2 🥳 love thatt 🥳
Thank you for a different way to rewatch my favourite series, ure doing gods work over here :DDD
I have been waiting for the season 2 retrospect and recap since the 1st one came out! Love these
Watching breaking bad retrospectives is all I've been doing lately. I'm glad I was here for this one 😃
1:07:20 that explains why jesse’s house when he bought it back didnt look like it did when he lived in it before
Thanks for doing this, man. I just started re-watching it three days ago. This recap is so good.
Love your tier lists Kiwi. Keep up the good work and attention to detail!
I've been waiting for this video! Thank you
Ohmigosh when I was done with this video I expected this creator to have way more subs since the quality of this video is great. Definitely earned my sub keep it up!
This was such an incredible experience to watch back to back with the first tier list! I'm writing this not long after finishing this part, and am consciously stopping myself from going on to the next part, and let it all sink in. Throughout watching/listening to you discuss each episode I kept experiencing heat flashes like I've never experienced before. Even after watching certain scenes but mostly reading about the series, I never thought how REAL these characters and their situations would feel.
Also, I'm especially surprised about Tuco! Reading about him, watching his final scene, I truly believed that he was going to be an overarching antagonist, who'd meet his end in season 3 or likely 4. It's incredibly how a character can have such a huge impact, and I love every time you bring this up to emphasise this fact. Thank you so much for the incredible amount of work, time and effort that went into this project! I don't plan on watching the series ever, but I'm immensely enjoying your reviews, and I'm looking forward to watching the Season 3 tier list!
It's interesting to wonder what people would think of Skylar if we weren't shown Walt's perspective for most of the show. I think people _would_ sympathize with her more if they didn't realize how much fun(for the viewer) that Walt was having.
Bro I’ve been waiting for this to drop I appreciate your work brotha🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
I do not take Walters side he deserves Skylers anger. She is not being petty.
I love your deep dives into shows, can't wait for the rest of the series. Will you be doing to the last of us season 2 when it drops?
yess finally, been waiting for it.
keep them coming bro
I love that you made a comparison between Jesse and Ricky from Trailer Park Boys. Although realistically he's more like J-Roc.
These videos are awesome dude, can’t wait for more
Been waiting for this vid !
Yessss I’ve been waiting for this!!
your analysis of 204 was really above and beyond kiwi
Thank you for making these
I love this series, because I don't have the time to watch breaking bad and better call Saul but I love the stories of both of them
Been waiting for this 🙌
I also wish they would’ve did more with the klepto arch. When I was rewatching, I totally forgot she even did that 😂
I've been waiting on this list! Thank you!
Same! I have an hour drive to work everyday and a 2 hour video is perfect! Love these tier lists.
Oh man we have to wait for the second half of season two of Breaking Bad.
Dude u came up!! Good job on your channel buddy.
Let’s gooo been looking forward to this
It's a good thing to split them in two as it gives you more time for details and small video clips, although season 5 of Better Call Saul is my fav of that other show, your retrospective of it being so very long kind of diluted the kind of good commentary you can do and it was more of a chore than with your other retrospective videos since I remember it being 4 1/2 to 5 hours long with zero clips at all. DMCA allows for up to 30 seconds of video when doing critique, analysis etc. and I like that you brought them back for Breaking Bad's retros. Keep up the good work.
FINALLY
love ur vids
❤
Love it bro keep it up 💜
You are by far the best Better Call Saul/Breaking Bad reviewer on the internet. Keep up the great work!!!
These videos are so comfy.. Love it
love these videos 👍
Awesome videos, but I'm dying here waiting for part two. I hope it comes soon! 😂
i’ve been waiting for someone to comment this. where’s part 2 😪‼️
Yeah me too it's painful to wait for two part B of Breaking Bad.
Yessir was waiting for this
Awesome video
Walt was obviously getting ready to confess everything to Skyler before being abducted by tuco
Thank you for doing this.
YESSSSS
Been waiting on this one🙏🏽
40:40 lol I never realized this but you can indeed see the door breaking which magically fixes itself in the next shot
These are so great ❤
Cool video as always bro :) Watch your vids whilst playing Terrraria
Tucos uncle does in fact say SOS in morse code
(••• - - - •••)
This is definitely the moment where Walter broke his bad all over the place
You know it’s a good day when a new TheVividKiwi video comes out happy pie day
Finally been waiting forever
These should be getting more views good stuff
I love breaking bad. This is proper ideal when your high and want to just shut your eyes and chill 👍 good job man
Good video! One of the all-time best shows ever made and this season might be my favorite one!
PS not to be "that guy" but just fyi it's not called a clip, it's a magazine. I know, people use them interchangeably but it's used incorrectly.
The bg music is truly crazy making 😢
Wow I watched this entire video In one sitting pls make more of these
fire keep this up
small detail in 737 you can hear a better call saul ad before we meet saul when walt’s flipping through the channels
1:19:50 one thing I also really like about this scene is that Walt says "do it" when Jesse holds the punch above his head, and then he lets him go. It really resonates with me considering this is basically the same thing that happens at the end of the whole series as well.
I would listen to all your videos on spotify also If you put them up there that would be great
Keep going ! You have extreme talent an analysis. Do other shows too
Fantastic video, Kiwi! I love the choice to put Peekaboo in S tier.
I have to ask now, though... With an episode the caliber of Ozymandias eventually coming, should there be a SS tier like you had with Better Call Saul?
Breaking Bad definitely has a good number of SS tier episodes. Besides Ozymandias, we have Face Off, Gliding Over All, Falina, ABQ, and several other episodes that could certainly be debated into SS tier.
Basically, if there isn’t an SS tier, then he’s lying to himself and us.
@@internetprofessorguy2138 i don't remember much about 'Gliding Over All' aside from walt seeing his money sky locked up, the prison massacre, heisenberg coming to an end in the drug business and the ending. i don't even remember if jesse was in this episode at all.
Im loving this series
Been waiting for this video! And it’s almost 3 hours long! This is perfect! Thank you great job!
