The Mrs. Landry scam was worse than Mike killing Werner, worse than Walt letting Jane die, and worse than Jesse killing Gale. Nothing between the two shows will surmount the horrible heartlessness of that scam.
Shame season 5 wasn't out. Saving that old man's house would definitely be number one

I don’t think the writers were trying to trick Better Call Saul viewers into thinking its as intense and fast paced as BrBa, they wrote those scenes between Tuco and Saul to show that he can literally talk his way out of any situation. Truthfully I think characters like Gus are even scarier in BCS because we get a much deeper look into their backstories

Yeah that scene was critical and foreshadowed how close Jimmy and the Cartel were going to get. Although it's a pointless scene if you watched Breaking Bad and already knows Saul's future. As a guy who watched BCS first the scene was great

Now that the first part of Season 6 came out, we know that the 'Ham- Scam' is probably the most trickiest, best/worst and darkest Scam of them all. It really has to be, if you suffer only by watching the victim get scammed. Jimmy really outdid himself there and Kim was the motivational fuel they poured over good ol' Howie.

Some of Jimmy's scams are so well done that they could be entire heist movies on their own, and given the length of Better Call Saul's episodes, they technically are.
great video. I would aruge that the Tuco episode isnt a "bait" episode, it may be an episode designed to draw veiwers in but I wouldnt say it was "bait" i mean theres plenty of action and tension in the show its not misrepresenting anything.
@SlipMaker
3 жыл бұрын
Good point Mack! "Bait" might be a bad way of putting it - after watching Season 5, I guess my feelings on the sequence in the first two episodes is that, since the show reached those dangerous stakes so quickly, the escalation in the episode Bagman feels a bit less impactful because you kind of go "oh, well... Jimmy's been here before" haha. Thanks for watching!

I think the most important part of that scene, is before they even discuss the two skateboarders. It was when they were questioning Jimmy. They didn't believe him until Jimmy told them what they wanted to hear. Foreshadowing the speech jimmy gives to the bar about Chuck

Fun fact - The website for Huell is real. When the episode released, I went to the website and actually called the number. It connected to someone whom I told "Hey your number is on this site you probably will want to change it." He thanked me and periodically texted me links to his (trap?) music. Spirit of AVS. I hope he's doing well

For 20 Years I was a Cliff Rescue Instructor and falling in a Harness is absolutely Painless. Whatever the guy in #3 was paid to fall, No Nuts or Balls were harmed or even inconvenienced.
The worst thing that Jimmy did was the falsification of Mesa Verde documents.
underrated channel my dude, amazing vid
Last place: the Howard scam
Irene is the sweetest on screen old lady I’ve ever seen. And it hit very close to home with all her friends “turning” on her. Obv manipulation.
personally the billboard episode is the best for me, cause you know jimmy had to lay it on thick to get him up there, and to take the fall. ive been saved a bad fall by those harness's before. they work (when fitted and secured properly,) but you couldn't pay me to take a fall like that. harness or not.
By the time it sadly ends this could overtake Breaking Bad as my favorite show of all time, and I honestly NEVER thought that was possible! The season 6 mid season finale is now my second favorite episode of TV ever behind only the last episode of Breaking Bad. I have no higher praise than that.
Fantastic video!
