BETTER CALL SAUL
August 6, 2018  | By David Bianculli  | 7 comments

AMC, 9:00 p.m. ET

 

SEASON PREMIERE: Season 4 of this superb Breaking Bad spinoff begins with two very different scenes, advancing the plot in two very different timelines and styles. And without giving any spoilers, let me rhapsodize a bit about both of those scenes. The pre-credits sequence, like all other Better Call Saul season openers, is shown in a black-and-white vignette set in the post-Breaking Bad future, and continues the story of Jimmy McGill a.k.a. Saul Goodman, now a.k.a. Gene Tacovic. And once again, as in the series opener (which established the sequel part of this series to the tune of The Ink Spots’ “Address Unknown”), Saul starts off with a haunting Ink Spots song – this time “We Three,” which includes such appropriate lyrics, for someone hiding in plain sight as manager of a Cinnabon franchise in Omaha, as “We three, we’re all alone / Seems like we’re living in a memory / That’s my echo, my shadow, and me.” And it’s a tension-filled scene, opening and ending in mystery and dread. And then, after the credits, comes the continuation of last season’s cliffhanger, where the fate of Michael McKean’s Chuck, Jimmy’s brother, looked very precarious. Very soon, you’ll know the answer… and also will learn the identity of the next character from Breaking Bad to join the Saul universe. Don’t miss it.
