This one is amazing too, one of my most favorite shows of all time. Btw could you do a recap of Mr Robot? It’s worth the watch trust me. Greetings
Awesome thanks very much! I was no way expecting you to donate again! Very touched.
I liked Mr Robot but I fell out of watching it shortly after the big reveal of his relationship with his Dad. I might pick it up again one day for a review
@@Howesenberg The way they handle and conclude that aspect of the show is magnificent. Very well-written, almost on par with BB & BCS
@@HowesenbergI would kill for a mr robot video
Same @@KhasibSB
"I only touch on elements that move the plot along"
also him: *"KIM'S FEET"*
Can't move along without using your feet 😅
My Kim wexler foot folder is gone ☹️
“And because Nacho’s dad is a macho chad” one of my favorite moments of the video
Wahoooo
What time we this
@@creativename773 1:50:09
Nachos final speech was, in my opinion, the best part of the show. Seeing him tell off hector like that with the emotion that was directed toward everyone at the same time was amazing.
It was great for the audience...no doubt...I cheered for nacho....but I felt he was putting his dad in danger. Especially since he ended himself instead of giving the Salamanca's their satisfaction of revenge. I figured they were gonna go after his dad just because theyre violent nut jobs
@@Cazz8203 I think Nacho killed himself so he could PROTECT his dad. Gus promised no one would go after his dad if Nacho died (not knowing Nacho would do it himself) and I think he was true to his word
@@HiHi-lt1cb I would say thanks to Mike and his team protecting nacho dad instead of Gus tbh . I don't think Gus gives a rat ass about Him
That final speech is perfection
That moment or Chuck’s outburst in Chicanery for me. Top two in my opinion.
I like how in 6x13 what ended the life of Gene Takovich and Saul's run was an elderly lady and his hiding spot of the dumpster, mirroring the Sandpiper case where he rummaged through it to find evidence to help the elderly, here it's after he weaseled his way into a family and manipulated them
I didn't notice the parallel until I watched this video but yeah it caught my attention as well.
Thanks Craig, nothing like a 2+ hour video to procrastinate going to sleep.
Sleep depravation gives us panda eyes and I like pandas so it's a win win situation
dont listen to the propaganda relating insomnia please go to sleep
@pogobod2128 works for government, they harvest your dreams don't go to sleep until you finish the video
@@Howesenberg Alright, 5 more minutes then.
I suffer from Sleep paralysis, so I use a lot of long videos to help sleep. Sometime I still end up waking up shaking but these videos ground me so I can go back to sleep.
Your vendetta against Mike's grandaughter was cruel, twisted and completely justified.
Looks like I'll be serving just 5 more minutes in hell
Lose the tampon
P
But did he have to point it out to everyone else and make the rest of us disgruntled??? 😂
420 likes🫡🫡ohh and 69 likes on Howesenberg's reply lmao
It wasn't just Chuck's letter being different, it was the way Jimmy was reading it that made Kim cry. Chuck's death broke Jimmy to the point he read his letter without much emotion. It made Kim feel horrible to see him like that, to see their relationship fall to this point and how much it affected him. It's why she recommends him to go see a therapist the next episode.
Yeah I always thought that was obvious
Kim didn't know what Chuck said to Jimmy before he died .... Chuck broke jimmy and he simply didn't have any grief in him after that initial shock. Kim might have been more understanding if he told her about that last conversation....but even then....she probably wouldn't have been able to fully comprehend what Jimmy was feeling.
I think Jimmy just didn't care much about Chuck after what he had done to him.
@@MrHeat48 No not at all, Chuck is present in every season just not as himself but as Jimmy. The portrayal of Chuck's impact on him is great and their are several call-backs to him through the show such as when Chuck teaches Jimmy to peel off the special wall wrapping in his house delicately, not long after Jimmy is taking down his office wallpaper in the exact same way.
@@MrHeat48 Jimmy completely ran away from himself and hid behind a character due to him not being able to process the guilt of being the reason his brother killed himself. Jimmy reading that letter indifferently was just the beginning of that process. He still loved his brother very much, even if Chuck didn't reciprocate it due to his narcissism.
10:19 Jimmy and Mikes ongoing battle with one another was my favorite part of S1
'YoU muSt hAvE tHe sTIcKeR oR yOu wOnT pAsS!'
Michael Mando acting is like nothing i have ever seen. Props to this legend
Honestly his final speech in this when his eyes light up with anger, actually give me chills. Dude is a superb actor I hope his career continues to flourish.
Play Far Cry 3. He's one of the main villains. Best villain performance.
@@gslinger19I second this, his performance as Vaas was nothing short of perfect, Vaas still remains in my mind as one of the greatest video game villains of all time
Funnily enough they wanted to make a Farcry 2 type villain (they kinda did with Hoyt) but Mando stole the show so much they wrote a whole character + live action trailer for him.
@@nouhorni3229 I honestly forgot about Hoyt for the most part, I remember the boss battle somewhat only because of the poker scene, Vaas/Mando was really the face of FC3.
Lalo Salamanca is probably one of my favorite characters in the whole show, despite only showing up more than halfway through. Just the sheer charisma he wields makes him both terrifying and fascinating to watch.
it lalo titme
Yet I thought that his demise was contrived and rather silly. Fring gets surprised by him, gets pushed down into the pit, right into a corner where...there's a gun hidden among the equipment for Fring to run to...and somehow he can manage it all while being in Lalo's gun sights? Smh. I guess. But way too easy for such a sinister, clever character like Lalo to be defeated. That's some mighty strong plot armor you be wearing there, Chicken Man!
@@junkscience6397 i feel like it should have been someone else to kill lalo, especially with the poor play at suspense they tried to pull with a character thats still alive in breaking bad for a little while longer
@@username172 Way more interesting if it was Kim
@@username172 I think it should have been Gus's men that killed him. The real ones. Not Juan Bolsa's failure men that the show gave to him. Men that would have done the work to know there was a secret passage and had someone waiting at the end of it to clean him up.
Instead we get a whole other scene about supposedly extremely smart and diabolical people doing stupid things for Lalo's death.
The reason Mike went out of the way to find the good samaritan's body wasn't to get Hector into any trouble, but because he felt guilty that the family might never know what happened to him. He does this right after the woman he meets in grief counseling describes how the worst part about her husband's disappearance is simply not knowing what happened and not having closure. He realizes the same is probably true about the samaritan's family and because of his guilt reports the body.
Exactly. It's also the reason he goes to visit Papa Varga, only this time Papa Varga calls BS on it and tells Mike he is just as bad as those who killed his son (which isn't entirely true but clearly Mike lost his soul by BrBa).
This show absolutely nailed two completely different types of villains. Chuck is a love-to-hate type of villain, where he's being so despicable in ways that aren't criminal but are still very infuriating and heartbreaking, and you can't wait for everything to implode back on him. Lalo, in contrast, is a hate-to-love villain, he's so charming and sociable that you can't help but smile back at him, but you don't want to because you know he will kill you if you smile slightly wrong.
At first he appeared like the villain, but over time I felt like you understood why he was so mentally ill and had it in for Jimmy
@@Howesenberg That's also very true, the show still doesn't paint him as a cartoon supervillain and instead makes his antagonism understandable. Personally I still find his fall very satisfying, but I also do feel sorry for Chuck in many ways.
trickk
I haven't seen anyone mention it yet but the transition shots between each episode were absolutely hilarious. I burst out laughing at the two eggs
I thought I'd sprinkle in a few funny ones here and there
the fucking chip bags
I wish somebody had time stamps for the ones made for the video, they’re absolutely hilarious!
E
@@Howesenberg what’s the song used in the season one episode 6-10 transitions
46:02 "Ahh it's okay Kim.... would you like a foot rub" caught me so off guard and was so hilariously timed. The comedic understanding is clearly deep with you hahaha
That's very kind of you, thanks! I'm glad my efforts are paying off
That wasnt a joke. Howesenberg is gince villigan confirmed!?
Giancarlo Esposito done an amazing job as Gus through both shows. His dedication to the cold, sociopathaic character was amazing and I truely believe the shows wouldn't be nearly as good as they are without him.
Never seen Gus as sociopath but more on the psychopath scale. He literally had a boyfriend and flirts on the Gentleman's bar. He even listens to Mike.
@kta_0187 exactly. He can feel things, unlike a psychopath. He knows he is doing wrong but continues doing it. Unlike a psychopath which wouldn't have the capability to know he is doing wrong.
"Gustavo" worked under Pinochet as one of his 5 elite bodygaurd, dude probably went through extreme training which reshaped his whole personality and behaviour
I like the way the show puts the suffering of Howard into a second storyline that is treated like a kid brother or kind of a “stepbrotheresque” side story. Howard truly suffered from Jimmy’s attacks and the writers did a wonderful thing in keeping the after effects of all of those terrible pranks from the viewer so when he finally snaps it left us with examining our own guilt for not really recognizing the real world problems all those pranks would cause. That’s why I keep Howard in a warmer place in my heart than any other character on the show.
I think it was pretty unambiguous that those pranks really really hurt Howard, mentally and financially and eventually lead to his death
I loved Michael McKean in this. His performance as Chuck was so good. Everyone hates the character but it's in a good way. He was supposed to be portrayed as the asshole big brother and it is done so well. Why McKean didn't get an Emmy for this show we will never know
As much of a meme it is, Chicanery is absolutely amazing example of his acting, loved every second of it.
@@Howesenberg fun side fact bob odenkirk’s brother bill is one of the math geniuses who worked on the science in futurama.
I have thought this too… everything from his mannerisms, hand gestures, facial expressions, etc is perfect for the character he is portraying
Pretty sure he’s voicing a My Little Pony character now
@@landonanderson6547 he did! At the start of My Little Pony: A New Generation, he voices Sunny Starscout's father
At 1:11:50, Mike uncovers the body not to get Hector into hot water (this never comes back to bite him), but to give the family of the "good Samaritan" closure. In his scene right before at the grief counseling, his love interest (Anita) talks about how her and her daughter never found her husbands body/what happened to him:
"They found our car, but they never found him. And I don't know if he slipped and fell, or had a heart attack, or met someone who didn't like the way he looked- I don't know. And even after all these years, not knowing how he passed, or where he is- I wish it didn't matter. But it does."
Brilliant observation, admittedly I missed that detail as is evident in this video.
Thanks for sharing!
Mike is a certified Giga Chad
Also important because this is the fate that Mike's family will eventually experience in BB. They'll never know what happened to him once he went "missing".
E
that's also why he told Nacho's dad what happened
2:30:50
This scene was absolutely necessary.
It shows in two instances how Jimmy (Saul and Gene) went too deep into a bad situation.
Saul took it upon himself to work with Walt which resulted in many bad events.
Gene took it upon himself to break into the house which resulted in many bad events.
He went too deep, and he hasn't changed.
Just like Chuck said.
this show is so awesome man, at first I thought it was kinda dull and meaningless but as it goes on it all starts to fall into place just perfectly
A lot of people sleep on the first few seasons, expecting it to just be Breaking Bad again. In my opinion, the show suffers writing-wise when it does become that, introducing contrivances and plot armor where otherwise there's no flaws in the writing.
18:00 The man offered him a million dollars of his own currency😂😂😂
Great moment
SPOILERS:
When I saw the part with jimmy ruining this old lady's life, I genuinely broke into tears. It's such a cruel thing to do. I was on his side during the sandpiper case because i hate seeing old people being taken advantage of, but seeing him do what he did to this old lady was the inverse of that. I genuinely hated Jimmy for a couple episodes after.
Weirdo
E
@@EEEEEEEE Username checks out
This nigga was crying over a fake old lady
@@ddonb449 idk man it's called good writing, it's a statement about the skill of the show to evoke emotion
I love how Better Call Saul acts as both a prequel and a sequel to Breaking Bad.
Man before watching this, one can already tell the amount of work, hours and dedication this must have taken you. Like wtf 2hs + long video with voice and edition and all? Props to you! This deserves way more recognition!
Thanks very much, it is hard work but it's also very rewarding and I can't wait until this is my full time career
we're rooting for you dawg🎉🎉
Not wanting to sound rude or anything, but have you seen Pyrocynical's 8 hour video essay about the TV show Utopia?
@@madman_24 2 people can make great long form content. I don’t really get your point. The guy who made this could have just dragged it out for 9 hours if he wanted
Werner was such a gentle and kind soul, he didn't deserve what happened and just the short clip of his death always makes me tear up :(
The Irene bingo scene and Werner’s death scene have been the most heartbreaking scenes for me so far
Werner was like Gale. He knew he was deeply involved in a vast criminal enterprise but was extremely naive. Mike killed Werner because he knew very well that Gus, Tyrus, and Victor would've also murdered his wife too.
For me, Jimmy's decision to help Mrs Landry in S3E10 'Lantern', was a reminder that at this point he still is empathetic and altruistic at heart, qualities that are gone by the time he becomes Saul Goodman full time. Further to that, Jimmy choosing to do the right thing is juxtaposed with the blow of being told he doesn't matter to Chuck, which I imagine adds to his 'no good deed goes unpunished' transformation into Saul.
This was such a good video, been a fan since your Breaking Bad one, thank you for taking the time and effort to make this thoroughly entertaining breakdown!
In the last episodes it also helps show how different the Saul persona is from Jimmy.
Saul was ready to strangle Marrion with the lifealert cord, where as Jimmy spent time helping elders with wills, went dumpster diving to expose that sandpiper was scamming the elders. And that Jimmy couldnt do all that to Mrs Landry, he had fix the problem he caused.
Jimmy chose to help Mrs Landry over the settlement money, Saul was ready to strangle a old Lady in a mobility scooter just to escape.
@@smpk9667 God yes I love that comparison! She even calls him either Saul or Gene, there is literally no Jimmy in that scene.
Both, Mike and Saul were great characters in Baking Bread but they're backstory and initial connection and development is just on another level.
Saul by himself would still have made it a good series but with Mike also getting so much attention, is nearly blew Baking Bread out of the water, at least for me personally
@@chefaylmao3926Might want to get that schizophrenia checked out
Micheal McKean should have won an Emmy. He was perfect. I literally just rewatches Spinal Tap a few nights ago and my wife and I still laugh like it’s the first time. He’s so underrated.
1:41:25 Lalo doesn't knock out the money transfer guy, he kills him. This is important as later down the line, it's what he's arrested and awaiting trial for
Good correction, in my mind I wrote it down as 'takes out' but obviously not.
maybe Lalo knocked Fred out before lighting the building on fire but knowing Lalo...
I can’t wait for this episode to blow up just like the Breaking Bad video, you consistently make some of the best show analysis’s I’ve ever seen man keep it up! ❤
Thank you so much, it would be cool if this video got even half the views of my BB video to be fair. Either way the supportive comments are making me really happy right now.
I hope so aswell, I am watching this for an our right now, and I havened paused once.
Very good video
@@Howesenberg congrats on another 1M video man! Huge accomplishment!
The conversation between nachos dad and mike also was kinda of a contrast of their characters where mike took revenge for his sons death but nachos dad knew better and that it would only lead to worse things happening
Good observation!
"With the excitement being too much for Marco as he just dies" 💀
I forgot about that line lol
I found Walter and Jesses scenes mainly exist to A) in the Walter/Jesse scene, to give more context to that scene. It feels like a very solid continuation of what happened as the Ignacio/Lalo convo is pretty believable, especially considering that BB episode is the basis for a good chunk of BCS. B) In Jesses scene, it definitely feels like the passing the torch scene, of people lives ruined in part by Saul Goodman, and the story as a whole. C) Walters scene just feels sad to the viewer, as Jimmy was a decent guy, but all people will ever see is the scum that is Saul Goodman, even Walter White. They are all very heavily fan service no doubt, but they all feel good to have in the story.
Also I feel like Jimmy hiring Bill as his lawyer was just to troll him honestly lmao, good video bro.
I agree, Walter white is practically the sole reason Saul ends up like he does in the last episodes. Not acknowledging that would be weird and I think the rv flashback helps remind us where it all started.
You're right, idk why he complains about it being forced but can't remember that Walt and Jesse were a major impact on Jimmy's life, but since everyone is a media critic and its cool to have hot takes then we do not have to use our brains to connect themes ourselves. I understand making a point and backing it up with evidence but blowing complaining about something important just because you do not like it is a major bird-brain moment.
@@user-pp2tz9br1g Walt was a major impact. Jesse was not. All of Walt's family was just there to create conflict. This includes Jesse.
Jesse being there makes it feel like a cameo from Brian Cranston and Aaron Paul instead of Walt and Jesse showing up in a flashback.
Edit: This said before watching that far in this video.
I never found any of the BrBa cameos to be forced. They always served the plot beautifully.
I lost it at Dutch’s face being plastered over Jimmy with the “ranch in Montana kind of money” line. Lmao
I often wonder if these silly little edits are worth the effort, but this confirms it
I got a plan.
The ending of s6 e9 was not light, it was by far the most depressed moment in the show, it truly shows that Saul is the most sad character in BB and BCS, he plays this character to hide his pain of loneliness, if you look at him he has no friends, like 0, and the last shot of him sitting as his desk alone with absolutely nothing just made me feel so empty
Those between-episode transitions were fucking brilliant! Perfectly matched the show’s themes.
Thanks very much, I'm glad the extra effort paid off
this man aint got enough apprecation for his hard work, good job Howesenberg
I appreciate the support! This vid.has earned me a few thousand more subs so I'm happy with it
This is a goddamn masterpiece. Thanks for putting this together. Definitely the only 2+ hour CZcams video I watched entirely
Thanks for watching it! Glad you enjoyed
I know you probably spent a lot of time setting this up so I will say, I appreciate the episode intro segments you put inbetween each episode with a reference to each one. It's the little things
Honestly I love these vids it condense long tv shows into practically a recap movie, hope you do more of these for other tv shows
I've got plenty of series lined up to review
massive respect to you taking your time writing, recording, and editing what would have been a several day watching experience to just under 3 hours. subscribed
Thanks very much, I'm glad to see people enjoying what I do!
As for my opinion on why Kim reacted so strongly to Chuck's letter, I don't think it was the letter itself that made her upset, I think it was the lack of any emotion from Jimmy which he uses as a coping mechanism. During the scene you can notice how she focuses on Jimmy while he reads it, as well as recommending therapy.
I just wanna give props to whoever made this video… this is some seriously solid content… especially being over 2 and a half hours
Props received and appreciated
Took me a while to watch the whole thing but that’s just because I’m a busy guy. Really great way to unwind after work or while I’m making dinner, great commentary as always!
thank you sir for letting me watch this from the basement, ive never had time to watch the series so this is perfect!!!
You're welcome Beard
This was honestly better than the BB recap! Didn’t think it would be possible to top that video. The title cards you did for each episode were hilarious! As well as some of the jokes, my favorite being the running Kaylee counter! Great video once again!
watching this channel grow from 10K to almost 100K has really not surprised me because the quality and consistency of the uploads and this channel has quickly become one of my favourites on youtube i can not congratulate you enough on 100K (soon)
Thank you very much, it's been an exciting time for my channel and I can't wait to get to that 100k milestone.
Only you can make 2 hours and 37 minutes straight interesting you are a legend keep it up
loved how you had a unique intro for every episode, you did an amazing summary 👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed that element of it
a very important thing you should consider about the breaking bad cameos is they first parallel black and white sauls response to sink deeper into crime, and secondly highlight just how saul jumped on working with Walter White despite Mike warning him on otherwise and being kidnapped, giving vital context for finale (especially for those who haven't watched breaking bad and wouldn't have know just how much the silly saul character helped walter)
I guess I was going with the assumption that people watching Better Call Saul would have seen Breaking Bad. If they hadn't seen it, I think this episode would be enough to connect the two timelines personally.
@@Howesenberg i feel the episode is about recontextualizing what saul did in breaking bad through what he does again as gene. in that episode he sees the opportunity to steal from a vulnerable man with cancer and is advised not to do it several times, but he does it anyway. he took advantage of a cancer patient for money twice now. this episode shows how morally bankrupt jimmy is at the core after everything happened. he saw the consequences of his first time stealing from a cancer patient and he did it again anyway just because he could.
@@Howesenberg The RV flashback is also meant to show us how being kidnapped was from Jimmy's perspective, especially after we know who Lalo is now. The scene is more intense when he's kneeling in front of the grave and Jesse's question of who Lalo is shows how traumatised he still is to believe he came back again.
Minor nitpick but at 1:33:05. It's not Something Stupid by Frank and Nancy Sinatra, it's a cover by Lola Marsh. The song wasn't actually even first recorded by Sinatra, but by Carson and Gaille.
You're right, my mistake!
Absolutely perfect commentary video. Isn’t that long for an entire show analysis but still has time to go over details. I see many improvements from the breaking bad video. Once again great work man I know that this channel will one day get the attention it deserves!
You did not just make me sit through 2 hours of this and hit me with that outtro 🤣🤣🤣
Great video as always. Just a note: Jimmy wasn't excluded from the Sandpiper money after messing with Irene. The main motivation (at first) behind Kim and Jimmy's scheme to take down Howard is the Sandpiper money, since ruining Howards reputation will cause HHM to settle sooner and can fast track Kim and Jimmy's individual law practices.
Then it's revealed that the settlement money wasn't Kim's main motivation after she received the offer from Cliff for her pro bono practice, which she blew off in order to fix the Howard scam.
The settlement money is also how Jimmy was able to become full Saul Goodman so soon.
First time I have watched a video without binging. Keep up the great work and the amazing story-telling with the twist of humor in it.
the edits in this video are hilarious. just finished watching the show the other day and a whole series recap sounds really good right now. thanks 👌
fun fact: Bob Odenkirk (Jimmy/Saul) had issues with his heart while filming S6E08 and its scary to think some of the acting he did that ended up on tv was of him having those issues thanks to being scared of Lalo
Well...I don't know if I'd call that a 'fun' fact but I do remember seeing Bob Odenkirk's health scare in the news at the time.
I didn't really feel that any of the Walt/Jesse cameos were pointless. They each meant something very important. 1) Their shared scene was Saul's introduction to them, and it's important for Saul's role in Walt's demise, which adds more to Breaking Bad's story, but also strengthens the connective tissue between the main events of this show, and the Gene timeline, by exploring what went wrong for Saul after Kim left. 2) Kim and Jesse's scene was a shared moment where one character escapes Saul and another begins a partnership. The two had a lot in common and I think it worked for that reason. 3) Walt's scene made a lot of sense as he was one of the three 'ghosts' in Saul's time machine discussions along with Mike and Chuck.
They obviously had some more fan servicey elements but I think they were handled extremely well for what they were.
Nice recap! The E.T. dying bit cracked me up!
Thanks for the long vids. They really help pass the time working 12 hour overnight shifts at the bean factory.
the amount of editing and production gone into this video is impressive!! great vid
Thank you, I appreciate the feedback!
Twice as long as the Breaking Bad video? Hell yeah.
But half as long as the Malcolm in the middle video
Honourable, complete and a perfect breakdown. You are so good at this!
I’m pretty sure the line “Lighting bolts shoot from my finger tips.” The most underrated line
3:34 scariest scene I’ve ever seen in any show or movie 😂 I expect jump scares in horror movies… this was just a huge and loud jumpscare exactly when I wouldn’t expect it… I remember this scene so well, I fully jumped out of my chair seeing it. Why would they add a full jump scare😭
Excellent work! Its really nice to have 6 years of show condensed into two hours. Helps put the whole thing into perspective.
This was absolutely incredible. I love your video style!
Thanks very much for the nice feedback
Wow, BRAVO! The way you took what I’m sure was several thousand man hours of writing, directing, acting, etc. and boiled it down to a summary absolutely amazes me! You’ve re-told the story in such a way that I almost feel as if I just binged watched the series again. You even filled in a few holes for me.
You’ve done a peerless job on two of the three greatest TV series of all time.
I do hope you’ll take on the remaining one of the three. You may be the only writer that could summarize The Sopranos in a fitting manner.
Great work!
Peace,
DrRick

Someone just earned themselves a pinned comment
@@Howesenberg hello
@@Howesenberg Are u going to upload seperete videos like you did for mitm?
No, I've decided that any series longer than 6 seasons will be uploaded 1 by 1
Correction S2E4 Gloves off is not on the list. The time is 42:10
Well it’s 2:00 in the morning but I’ve seen this video to the end and it was absolutely worth it! Amazing video
This was so on point. Ireally enjoyed watching. what a great video thanks dude for putting this together. Absolutely amazing work.
Thanks very much for the feedback
i just finished a long binge of this series and because i watched it over many late nights, some details were definitely lost on me - this is a great summary that cleans up a few things that were muddied in my head. thanks for your awesome hard work!
That's great to hear, thanks for the feedback
Rewatching this so quickly really makes you realize how Howard really is the punching bag of the show. Howard really did deserve better. =(
Crazy just show of bit of vulnerability howard is saint somehow
kim has to be one of the best characters ever created. ever since the first episode they were on thin ice and every episode after i thought they would break up but they never did and that is insane to me
so realistic to a real relationship, especially a toxic or codependent one
This channel deserves waaay more subs. Thanks for the great work🎉
Thanks very much for your comments!
I could say so many things. In a nutshell this is the best show Ive ever watched. It will always stick with me. There are so many moments. Great video
1:25:40, Gus knows it was Nacho who poisoned Hector because of the scene where Nacho gives Hectors pills to the paramedic right after he collapses. Gus notices that the pill bottle/container thing is different than the one Hector was using, and figures out that Nacho is the one behind poisoning him (it focuses in on Gus noticing and everything, not sure how you missed this)
I'll have to go back and rewatch that part, I appreciate you pointing it out. When you're writing a script covering a whole show it can be easy to make silly mistakes while trying to focus on so many aspects of what your watching.
Ngl, I watched the show twice through, and I never understood how Gus KNEW to follow nacho… that makes total sense now, but was extremely subtle tbh. I can understand missing it completely.
yeah, when Hector collapses, he drops the bottle of Nacho's paracetamol pills and they spill on the ground. I don't remember the scene in detail, but IIRC Nacho is picking the pills up as Gus is trying to keep Hector alive. don't know if Gus notices this. he does glance over at the bottle of pills that Nacho hands in to the paramedics arriving - he either notices that the bottle is different as someone pointed out, or that the bottle is pretty full again. that triggers his suspicion and then he investigates further, but I don't remember how he ultimately makes the connection, what solid proof he finds.
Wasn't there a scene on the bridge where one of Gus's guys saw Nacho throw something over a bridge
The bottle was the same though. All Nacho did was swap the pills back. The way I interpreted that scene was Gus felt suspicious with how quickly Nacho gathered back the pills without question (and I think his demeanor with the paramedics made it all the more suspicious). He didn't necessarily know right away that Nacho sabotaged the pills, but he had enough suspicions that he asked Victor to follow Nacho. It was a definite confirmation once Victor saw Nacho throwing away the sugar pills at a bridge.
As always, fantastic job on this video, I have no idea what compelled me to watch this recap after I practically just binge watched the series, but some how, I’m glad I did.
Great work with this recap. Very well done!
I've been waiting for this, how tf are you still at under 100k subs bro you deserve to be at 1 mil by now
I'm getting close, the amount of time I've tried for this will make the victory sweeter
Thank you for your hard work. It was a pleasure to watch and listen to.
No worries, thanks for watching!
I can’t believe that Better Call Saul ends with an unironic “It’s Morbin Time” moment.
It's what happens when a relevant meme at the time of writing the script becomes a cringe meme months later after the project is finished 😔
This was an extraordinary amount of work. Amazing.
That mention of Lalo's footsteps fading into thunder storms was GOLD. An excellent example of the Master level at which the BB/BCS production teams operate.
I dont listen to the TV with a very high volume; these days all the music is mixed WAY too hot and the dialogue is always 20% softer, AT LEAST. Vox explained it, _(supposedly...)_ But simply understanding does little to restore the balance to modern sound mixing. My hearing loss is nerve related, and the hz range that dips out on me is basically that mid to mid/low male voice. So pumping the volume does little to improve my experience.
Best bet is keeping captioning on, and my brain takes that cheat sheet and fills in the blanks. I've tested myself on shows, and with captions on, everything I'm watching seems much louder, and the audio seems crystal clear.
But if I look away without raising the volume of anything that was JUST diamond clear to me moments earlier is suddenly muted and mush mouthed. I'm always impressed with just HOW MUCH can be faked by the brain with just a bit of prompting.
But subsequently, subtle auditory moments like this are frequently wasted on me. 🤷🏼♂️ what can ya do, right?
I watched the whole video, and it amazed me how much efford you put into making such a great piece of content and kept my attantion the whole time.
Keep up the great work
If you think I'm going to sit here and watch 2+ hours of you reviewing better call Saul... You're God damn right.
You gave me 2,5 hours of happiness living in this universe and watching one of my favorite shows with my friend. WHAT A VIDEO! THANK YOU!
Anyone who has a child knows that Halies “one more minute “ is 100% accurate.
This series was so special that I (kid you not) had Cinnabon treats and drinks while watching the finale.
I started BCS in 2022, the same year I started and finished Breaking Bad. That one year felt like a decade of loving that show
Such intricate work, and so in-depth. I take my hat off to you. Some seriously great editing [you know its good because it plays back so fluidly]
thumbs up
Damn this explanation was amazing, watched it after the breaking bad one which was also great. The cinematography, character development and violence is all on point with this show. When people say this series does better than its prequel, as any show or movie should, it surely does show that with its title and its presentation.
I got confused with this show as if it's actually before or after breaking bad cause they shows scenes where Saul, Walter and Jesse discussed and other scenes that perplexed me but then I got the message and finally understood after awhile and also clearer to me after watching this video, especially the last season explanation you've done. Thank you.
I appreciate the well thought out comments 💪
Pretty cool recap of an awesome series. Thanks 🙌🏽
This was another phenomenal video, for reasons I still don't know, I dropped off of the show after the end of the first season; but this video helped me connect the dots from what I'd seen across various clips and threads about the show over the years. Informative, genuinely hilarious as always (the acid joke in particular god damn man), and a really fun video to watch while playing Rimworld. You do really good work, and I am glad to see your channel's catching on as it deserves to.
2:32:46 I will defend Kim and Jesse meeting with my life. Kim's soul is already broken down by Jimmy, Jesse's soul is about to be broken down by Walter. Jesse is clearly full of life at this point in the timeline, and it's off putting, knowing how much he's going to be destroyed all because of Saul (and Walt), just like Kim already has been. Her lifelessness in that conversation says everything. She's an unsettling reflection of who Jesse is going to become.
Also RIP Mark Margolis. Familia es todo
The way the lawyer compliments the tie seems sincere af
This was soooo good, great job Howe👍
Thanks very much!
i needed a good recap of seasons 1 and 2, i appreciate your time to make this video.
Absolutely incredible effort making this epic video man. It’s helpful to so many.
Thanks for the nice comment!
I watched the entire thing start to finish. Thanks for this xD
