Another solid season in the books. Michael McKean steals the show as Chuck. Jimmy’s foil for his entire life, their relationship is one for the books.
Just like Breaking Bad, Saul is well written and it’s got some of the best directors working in TV. There are many great moments through the season, Jimmy getting his dream gig, doing his thing and getting punished for it, lighting that boat on fire to take Kim with him. Jimmy is a good guy, it’s just the lengths he goes to help or hinder people blow have little regard for rules. Chuck, on the other hand, is a colossal douche. I’m on Jimmy’s side for just about everything.
Mike had a great season too and it’s fascinating to see his side of Breaking Bad being built. His whole arc with Nacho that goes from hilarious introduction to tricky plan to success to oh-damn- that-wasn’t-a-success-now-I-gotta-deal-with-his-manaic-boss is some riveting stuff. The twins even show up in one of the most intimidating scenes ever recorded.
Killer season finale to crank each story thread. Mike getting interrupted has major character implications and Chuck’s egomania and spite levels hit an all new level. Next season it’s going to be Jimmy v Chuck in the courtroom and their relationship will end permanently.
