MORE: Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore Review: A New Low for the Franchise He’s smart, tough, and incredibly ruthless, but he also has a soul and his bid to help Nacho only amplifies the respect I have for his character. I love the guy in Better Call Saul, though. The man was a pain in Walt’s ass and carried a higher-than-thhou persona that plagued him until the bitter end. On a side note: I hated Mike on Breaking Bad. Is Mike trying to see who Nacho is up against? Or did he just accidentally leave the motel phone number in the new safe? Mike heads to Nacho’s house, breaks into his safe, empties out the contents (including a pair of passports for Nacho and his father), then replaces the safe with a replica replete with phony passports and (I hope) a phony phone number. Meanwhile, Mike takes steps to aid Nacho, despite Gus ordering him to leave the young man to his fate. The Chicken Man has sold the poor kid out, leading to a wild shootout with those lovable Salamanca twins that presumably ends with Nacho captured alive. As the days wear on, Nacho spies on and eventually confronts a man who is paid - by Gus - to spy on him. Speaking of which: Nacho winds up in a seedy motel where he’s to await further orders from Mike. I’m not sure where this plot thread is going, but gut feeling says it has to do with Nacho.
We don’t get a ton of Lalo, outside of a terrific exchange between him and Hector that ends with the younger Salamanca gleefully driving off (after murdering two men) to attain proof of the Chicken Man’s involvement in the assassination attempt. At any rate, the most dangerous man on the show is alive and well, and ready to take the necessary steps to off good ol’ Gus. At least, that’s what I gleaned from the part where he steals a pair of scissors and ominously stands behind a man who looks exactly like him - “It’s like looking in a mirror, but not.” I assume he’ll use the corpse as a body double to buy himself some more time. Spoiler alert: the assassination attempt didn’t work out, and Lalo remains very much alive and extremely murderous. Storyline B concerns Nacho Varga escaping the compound raid seen at the tail end of Season 5, which was executed by Gus Fring as a means to the murder of Lalo Salamanca. MORE: Pacific Rim: The Black Season 2 Out Now, Watch Season 1 Recap Would Saul/Jimmy really reside in such a glamorous home? What sort of deal does he make to attain the required cash to live such a life? Suffice to say, as was the case with Breaking Bad, we can’t take anything at face value. I could spend hours dissecting this intro, but there is still over two hours of show to get to. It’s all tied together by a cardboard standee of the man himself, Saul Goodman, which effectively gets tossed in the trash. Said moves sequence through a large mansion adorned with statues, vast rooms, an absurd amount of medication, a massive bathtub with a pink thong hanging off the faucet, a gold toilet and a legion of colorful business jackets. The season premiere offers few details but adds to the mystery with one of those patented Breaking Bad montages - this one set to Jackie Gleason’s “Day of Wine and Roses” - that paints a decidedly different picture of Saul than we’ve seen. As interested as I am in Mike (Jonathan Banks), Nacho (Michael Mando), Lalo (Tony Dalton), the Chicken Man (Giancarlo Esposito), and Saul, the biggest question I have is what the hell happens to Kim?

First and foremost, it’s strange how this show has morphed from a not-quite-necessary prequel series chronicling the rise of everyone’s favorite slimeball lawyer (Bob Odenkirk), to an intimate show about rival brothers, to a series about wholesome lawyer Kim Wexler’s ( Rhea Seehorn) journey to the dark side. There’s a lot to unpack in the massive first two episodes, and plenty of intrigue to be found.
