Better Call Saul

The "Breaking Bad"/"Better Call Saul" epic deserves more attention than the average show.

But in the fall and redemption of Kim Wexler, he comes pretty darn close. Walter White’s act of selflessness toward Jesse is also dimmed by the fact he has left his biological son, his wife, and infant daughter in a state of material, emotional, and spiritual devastation. The “Breaking Bad”/“Better Call Saul” epic — and I use that phrase without reservation — deserves more attention than the average show. Walter White’s redemption requires him to slaughter even more people in a desperate and bloody effort to save his surrogate son, Jesse. He was a man consumed by anger, envy, and a seething sense of superiority. It was a time travel extravaganza ping-ponging between events that took place before, during, and after “Breaking Bad.”
