Better Call Saul season 2 still doesnt reach Breaking Bad heights (what could?)
but remains a valuable part of the TV canon.
Season two is no different.
you’ve got the option to only be in awe of Jimmy McGills preternatural ability to bullshit people.

Lets get one thing out of the way now.
In its second season,Better Call Saulstill isnt as good asBreaking Bad.
First, how could it possibly be?
Few things in the universe are.
And secondly, it will always fundamentally be a splintered part of theBreaking Baduniverse.
But the important thing here is that whileBetter Call Saulstarted good, its just getting better.
Still, that might end up being a blessing.
That madcap, improvisational storytelling still turns up in the wonderfully thought out schemes and cons.
Thankfully, Bob Odenkirk is more up to the task of portraying an increasingly complex character than ever.
Another area where season two has improved is in its quality as a prequel.
At times in season one the fact thatBetter Call Saulwas a prequel to another story held it down.
This season also features another black and white Cinnabon-tastic flash-forwad that makes the tragedy even more present and visceral.
Knowing whats coming isnt all tragic, however.
Some of the series best moments still rely on our knowledge of what comes next.
When Mike calls Jimmy in a pinch and asks are you still morally flexible?
its the 2016 TV equivalent of Chewie, were home.
Better Call Sauldoesnt rely on these moments.
Its become even more of its own show.
But those moments are still welcome.
