SEASON PREMIERE: Season 3 of Better Call Saul begins right where Season 2 left off, with Jimmy McGill (Bob Odenkirk), eventually to adopt the slimy persona of shifty attorney Saul Goodman, confessing to his brother Chuck (Michael McKean) that he doctored some paperwork, and committed a felony, to take some legal business away from his brother. Chuck is out for revenge – and so, in other scenes, is Mike Ehrmentraut, the formidable ex-cop played by Jonathan Banks. Mike’s quest takes him, eventually, to someplace excitingly familiar to Breaking Bad fans, pushing this series up yet another notch with wild waves of anticipation. For my full review today on NPR’s Fresh Air with Terry Gross, listen to the radio, or, later on this afternoon, visit the Fresh Air website. And for another full review, see David Hinckley’s All Along the Watchtower.
