Better Call Saul Series 5 - Better Call Saul: Series 5 review by HL
Brilliant latest part of brilliant series. As good as Breaking Bad, to which the series is a prequel. Terrific ensemble acting. And the discussions by members of the production team at the end of each episode are fascinating.

Prequell to Breaking Bad. - Better Call Saul: Series 5 review by CP Customer
These two series stand alone and either can be watched without the other, but you will get more out of it if you watch both. Breaking Bad was made first and then Better Call Saul was written as a spin off to explain how Jimmy McGill aka Saul Goodman came to be where he was. Many of the characters are common but some are unique to each of the series. They are both quite long. Breaking Bad is complete now but Better call Saul has one more season yet to air. Cinema Paradiso have seasons 1 to 5 available with 5 having only just arrived at the end of 2020.
It is all about drugs and sharp practices and most of the characters are either amoral or have weak streaks, but somehow they are all likeable. Jimmy seems a bit of a loser, at least most of the others think that of him, however he is actually quite a sharp cookie, especially in the courtroom. There is one person who really understands him though and realises his skill and this comes out strongly in season 5. The story arc is easy to lose track of with all the day to day goings on, so this is best if it is binge watched. If you spread it out over several years (as it was aired) you are in danger of forgetting who did what when and get confused when they pickup from something that happened in a previous series.
Providing you don't take it too seriously, it is a good watch. I enjoyed it.

The enjoyable Breaking Bad Spin-off continues... - Better Call Saul: Series 5 review by PV
OK so one thing about these BETTER CALL SAUL series - so many months pass between me watching them that I've forgotten who is who and what happened, so sometimes get lost in the labyrinthine plots and time frames, and confuse characters.
It may help to watch the lot close together therefore - Breaking Bad then this - in as short a time period as possible. I did struggle to understand what was happening at times. But if you let it all wash over you and enjoy the ride, then it's fine...
Not as great as the sublime Breaking Bad, especially the early series of that, but good to see old faces again. No way can anyone compete with Bryan Cranston though! Good to see Fring again.
As with Breaking Bad, some lovely original opening sequences and mucho fun in the scorching desert. And there is the usual drug cartel ultra violence and piles of money too.
Seems to end a tad prematurely - I sort of expected more from this series. Apparently there'll be another. We'll see...
