The spin-off of “Breaking Bad” has been a critically-acclaimed TV series just like its mother show primarily because of its compelling story that features the formative experience of Jimmy McGill and the likely turn of his character into the dark side.
Charlie Collier, president of AMC, lauded the “Better Call Saul” production crew led by the two executive producers and the lead actor for the show. He said that what Vince Gilligan, Peter Gould, Bob Odenkirk, and the entire team have accomplished with the TV series is truly rare and remarkable.
Collier said that the show has taken one of the most iconic, immersive, and fan-obsessive shows in TV history and creates a prequel that stands well on its own.
Fans of “Better Call Saul” are also excited for the likely return of drug lord Gustavo ‘Gus’ Fring, played by Giancarlo Esposito, from “Breaking Bad.” He was originally rumored to appear during the Season 2 finale because it was hinted in an ominous note left for Mike warning him against taking extreme measures in his battle against Hector Salamanca. The name of Gus Fring also appeared in scrambled form in the episode titles of the Season 2.
Peter Gould somehow admitted that the hint was intentional when he disclosed in a recent interview that they did not think that the clues in the titles would be figured out by fans as quickly as they were.
