I’m in the process of diving down the rabbit hole of Better Call Saul, finally. Just like Breaking Bad actually, I didn’t really watch it until after a season or two was in the hole — though with BB I caught on much quick, before it became the gold standard. Why I am so late to the party on BCS, I have no idea. But anyways, it’s brilliant in its own regard and absolutely stands on its own two legs. I recently came across a (rare) Final Draft article about it which sums up why. The most distinctive point, for me, is that it takes its time. It makes serious sacrifices with its real estate to allow for cinematic moments — silent, drawn out, suspense-building and ultimately extremely telling. They somehow ensure that these moments are always worth their weight in salt. To me, it is wizardry. I’ll hope to learn how someday, and in the meantime will keep watching.
