“Better Call Saul” had a lot of hype preceding its actual release, as the show is the spiritual successor to one of the most popular and successful productions in television. It’s no surprise that so many people were eagerly awaiting any kind of information about the show before it was revealed to the world, and now that we’ve gone through an entire season of it, people can’t wait to see more. Season 2 is coming in a few months, and there is obviously a lot of hype about it once again – but will the show manage to continue living up to the expectations that people have for it, or was the success of the first season more luck than anything else?
The new season will reportedly not increase the episode count to 13 as was originally thought, and fans will get another set of 10 episodes instead. There was some confusion over the format of the show when the first season launched, as many people thought that the 10-episode order was just a test run for the initial season. But now that we’ve seen that season 2 will be done in the same way, fans are starting to wonder if this will be the standard trend in the development of this show.
The producers of “Better Call Saul” seem convinced that those 10 episodes will be more than enough to tell the kind of story that they have in mind though, and fans should apparently expect some “big” episodes with a lot happening in them and various additions to the already complex and deeply developed story. We don’t know what exactly they’re planning for season 2, but it’s definitely true that 10 episodes could be more than enough to tell any kind of complex story, even the kind that “Better Call Saul” has been presenting so far.
From what we’ve heard about the story until now, it sounds like season 2 will take the show in a new direction with a darker, more dramatic plot, and fans are going to see a real change in the character of Saul Goodman. We’re actually about to see the transformation that resulted in him becoming the person we already knew from “Breaking Bad”, so it would be interesting to see this kind of transition and how the character’s personality changes in all its minute details. According to rumors, this transformation will actually be quite dramatic and will give fans a lot of food for thought.
Other than that, we expect to see the occasional reference to “Breaking Bad” thrown in there during the second season. On one hand, it would make sense as it will help remind people where the show started and it will give them some sense of connection with the original. On the other, some fans seem to have the opinion that the producers should be careful to not overdo this, as it could draw away from the show’s unique premise and mix it with its predecessor far too much.
But we’re confident that the people behind “Better Call Saul” know exactly what they’re doing and they are going to handle this production with the kind of attention it requires, and the details about the show will live up to the expectations of fans. After all, they already managed to run one successful show with this character universe, so it makes sense that they would know how to continue the same trend.
