10 Reasons You Absolutely Have To Watch Better Call Saul

10. The New Characters

With a heart-stopping thud, the show introduced the first of the skater twins as he bounced off Jimmy's windscreen. Then his brother arrived and the pair attempted a scam that was quickly, and literally, kicked aside. Jimmy praised the plan but bitterly ridiculed their choice of victim - "Listen Starlight Express... Does this steaming pile of crap scream payday to you? The only way that entire car is worth $500 is if there's a $300 hooker sitting in it." Jimmy later sought out Cal and Lars' stunt skills for his own gain, reeling them in with a strangely endearing tale from his past. (The sting ended in excruciatingly painful failure, but that's what happens when you mess with Tuco's granny.) Meanwhile, Tuco associate Nacho Varga looks set to be the thinking lawyer's criminal - cool, instinctive and thoughtful, he easily spots the potential benefits in having Jimmy on-side. His psychopath rating is still to be established, but it's odds on to be high. Jimmy's older brother Chuck is played with delicate flair by Spinal Tap legend Michael McKean. A principled lawyer, he hasn€™t worked at the firm he co-founded for more than a year, with his mental health problems apparently the root cause of his predicament.
