When I was a bit impatient with this show earlier in the season, I wrote that co-creator Vince Gilligan had earned the benefit of the doubt. It’s nice not to be wrong.
I have greeted the premiere of Better Call Saul with a mixture of anticipation and doubt. The reason for the anticipation is obvious, given my love for Breaking Bad, but part of me has wondered whether series creator Vince Gilligan’s trip into the past was the best use of his talents.
