Season five continues to pay enormous attention to detail while also driving plot development up to the Breaking Bad timeline. Tensions continue to rise between Gus and the cartel, and Jimmie is now and officially established as Saul Goodman. At the start of the season, he dresses in an eccentric, distinctively Saul Goodman suit and sets up a temporary base in a circus tent. He hands out free untraceable phones with his number on speed dial and promises clients 50% off his services for a week. Kim isn’t too happy with the immoral implications of his decision, but as the season unravels, she is pulled further into Saul’s unconventional way of doing things.

One of the remarkable achievements of Better Call Saul is that it successfully builds suspense even though we already know that the characters we care about most will survive beyond the start of the Breaking Bad timeline. Even though we know that Saul will be fine, when he drags himself through the desert in the antepenultimate episode, there are moments where it feels like he really might not make it.

The desert episode may be painfully slow but it sets up some important relationship developments. Mike and Saul leave the desert with an unspoken bond and after that point, Mike begins to trust Saul with important information. Saul realizes that Kim is the person he cares about the most and Kim equally realizes that Saul is far more important than the corporate clients she works with. At the moment, Saul almost gives up and Kim believes him dead, something happens to the characters which changes their relationship permanently. And then Kim breaks bad.

In the epic season finale, things heat up massively for Lalo and Nacho down in Mexico. Lalo may have started out as a new character that fans were unsure about but now, he is a highlight of the show. He is all about the showmanship and one of the biggest mysteries left in the series is what will happen to him and Nacho prior to the Breaking Bad timeline. And it feels like that timeline is getting pretty close.

The season five premiere begins with a flash-forward of Saul Goodman after he has received his do-over following Heisenberg being found out. Saul is constantly having to keep an eye open for anyone who might suspect his true identity. When a former Alboquoerque resident spots him in the mall and recognizes him from one of his old adverts, it looks like Saul may soon be caught.

Following the opening credits, we see Jimmie change his name officially to Saul Goodman. Season four saw Jimmie’s drastic descent into Saul and now, he has fully embraced his new identity. He kicks things off by offering discounts to felons so if they do commit a crime, they get 50% off his representation. He hands out a stack of phones with his number on speed dial, determined to become the go-to lawyer for Alborquorque’s criminal youth.

Meanwhile, Kim is growing increasingly suspicious of Saul’s activity. In the closing scene of the episode, Kim’s client chooses to go to trial instead of taking the deal she is suggesting. Saul comes up with an elaborate scheme to get him to take the deal, but Kim shuts him down and tells him she doesn’t want to scam a client. Moments later, when saul has left the room, she uses his idea to get the results she wants. Could Kim be breaking bad too?

Things are also heating up for Fring and his crew. Lalo Salamanca is onto Gus and Nacho is in hot water trying to win over his trust. It seems like there is going to be a lot more action in season five and it looks like the construction of Gus’ meth superlab is going to be a little more complicated than he initially anticipated.

As far as season premieres go, Better Call Saul has successfully whet our appetite for the episodes to come. The show has shifted from slow character development to the feeling that something big in the air is brewing. Bring it on.

The post What Did We Think Of the “Better Call Saul” Season 5 Premiere appeared first on Entertainment For Us.

Giancarlo Esposito, who plays Gus Fring on the show, recently chatted with Collider and said that this popular AMC’s series might end with season six.

“It’s tricky with [co-creator Vince Gilligan]. If you look at the Breaking Bad model, he said five years, five seasons, but it was really five and six.” – Esposito told Collider before discussing the possible end for Better Call Saul.

“There will be six seasons,” – he explained. “It seems like that’s the way, the comfortable way, to end this show.”

Several media outlets approached AMC following Esposito’s statement but the network had no comments.

Although the news that Better Call Saul might end after the sixth season might be heartbreaking for the fans of the show, the fact is that we have still a long way to go. The show wrapped up the season four in October 2018, while the season five recently entered in production and is expected to air at some point in 2020.

To begin with, Better Call Saul was a way to ease the blow after the Breaking Bad season 5 finale. Now though, it’s an amazing show in its own right and we are just as excited to watch the next season as we were when we were watching Heisenberg take on Gus Fring.

Unfortunately, there’s no binge-watching when it comes to the spin-off show. Each episode comes out weekly on Netflix and the seasons drop once a year… at least that’s what we thought.

Now, it seems that we will have a two year wait between seasons. At least that’s what AMC’s President of Entertainment Networks Sarah Barnett has said.

“We said on our most recent earnings call that the series would come back for season five next year,” Barnett told Vulture. “It’s driven by talent needs, which we would not override if it would result in a worse show.”

When asked whether we’re getting to closer the endgame of the series, Barnett said: “Well, we know clearly the end was already written before the beginning began. [Laughs.] The writers, they have a very particular, very clear sense of the arc of their show.”

She added that she is “really not” giving anything away.
