Better Call Saul


The Real Saints

Recommended Posts

Due to me going to see Boab Odenkirk in Edinburgh tomorrow night, I've started my first re-watch of this.  Looking forward to noticing stuff I missed the first time around.

Onto season 4, first time round I thought Howard was a cunt but I think he's actually been alright so far in this watch. ( I haven't seen seasons 1-4 since they were released so my memory of him is hazy).

Had same thought when I watched it piece by piece but been rewatching and seeing it more consistently yeah it's fairly clear that Howard is like a version of Nacho, a flawed but basically well intentioned character who can't escape his problems (in his case because Jimmy and Kim are directly responsible for them), which the show contrasts with the main characters who are given out after out from their awful behaviour but continue to be monsters.

The fact he comes across as unlikeable is sort of the point. Jimmy and Kim are more likeable, sure, but they are awful c***s who in the end cause a decent man to be killed - and of course for Jimmy that's just the beginning.
