10 Reasons You Absolutely Have To Watch Better Call Saul

5. A Steady Heartbeat Is No Fun

One of the killer hooks of Breaking Bad was its heart-stopping, stomach churning WTF scenes. The early indications are that Better Call Saul is going to continue this fine tradition. In terms of storyline, the show is just warming up, and the first two episodes have raised questions rather than answer them. Which is how it should be; if a tale's worth telling, then why rush it? Yet in terms of the deranged moments viewers have developed a crack-type craving for, it's all go. There's been group teenage sex (with a corpse), a skater crashing into Jimmy's car like a human cannonball, the appearance of Tuco, as well as the desert debate on punishment and the resulting crunching of bones. More is sure to come as Jimmy makes the transition from public defender pauper to player. He's not going to get there by hanging out at the back of the nail salon.
