CULT – 0

 

Verdict – 3/5

 
Pros –
1) Great finale! Jimmy’s character is fascinating and a matter of study. Someone who enjoys crime and mischief; someone who’ll always cut corners. He may look like a victim every now and then however his true self will remain Slippin’ Jimmy.
2) Werner’s death scene is now bigger than Gale’s death scene in Breaking Bad.
3) Mike’s no-nonsense character is now getting iconic.
4) Huell’s rescue plot.
5) Ep.7 brilliant split-screen time jump sequence between Jimmy and Kim. Frank and Nancy can’t be much prouder.

 

 

Cons –
N/A

MUSIC – 0
CULT – 0

 

Verdict – 3/5

 

Pros –

 

1) The show can be called “Better Call Mike”
2) With the presence a major chunk of Breaking Bad Characters – the show is at times better than it’s predecessor.
3) Slow paced and still riveting
4) Courtroom drama

 

 

 

Cons –

 

1) The story is more or less at the same place after 10 more episodes

Gus Fring: Would you care to know why I stopped you from killing Hector?
Mike Ehrmantraut: Like you said, it wasn’t in your interest.
Gus Fring: A bullet to the head would have been far too humane.

VERDICT – 5/5

 

 

PROS –
1) A spin-off to Breaking Bad at times better than it. Post “Breaking Bad” opening scene with Saul Goodman where we see him working in a bakery was absolutely thrilling.
2) “Slippin’ Jimmy” flashbacks
3) Chuck’s betrayal
4) Bingo Monologue
5) “Sovereign Sandia Republic.” – The funniest scene of the entire season.

 

 

CONS –
N/A

 

 

QUOTE – 
Mike: The lesson is, if you’re gonna be a criminal, do your homework.
Price: Wait. I’m not a bad guy.
Mike: I didn’t say you were a bad guy. I said you’re a criminal.
Price: What’s the difference?
Mike: I’ve known good criminals and bad cops. Bad priests. Honorable thieves. You can be on one side of the law or the other. But if you make a deal with somebody, you keep your word. You can go home today with your money and never do this again. But you took something that wasn’t yours. And you sold it for a profit. You’re now a criminal. Good one, bad one? That’s up to you.
