“Better Call Saul”
Difficult though it should be to do a prequel to “Breaking Bad”, one of television’s most celebrated series, there is no recent show that feels so effortlessly superb as “Better Call Saul”. This fifth season offered much of the franchise’s best acting, direction and writing, while also finding a way to deepen the stories told by its predecessor. With “Better Call Saul”, maestros Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould have produced a series that can rival even the best schemes of the fabled Heisenberg and Slippin’ Jimmy.
