There's something unique about the way this show presents the scams. Often, like here, we are not told directly what the scam is and have to figure it out through context. It makes the impact of the deception so much more effective because even the audience does not get all the details until the payoff.
Yes! One of the best things about this show’s style is that it respects the audience and doesn’t treat us like children who don’t have a clue what’s going on
The thing this show taught me about a great scam: make the mark think it was their idea. Offer to pay the bar tab knowing the other guy will insist to cover it. That’s the simple version of a scam they pull over and over
Oh dang, i didnt realize thats what he was doing when i first watched it. Lol it took me a few minutes to get that he was trying to forge letters as he kept changing pens and all the different stationery, but then forgot about the weird hand position at the beginning.
This is how you do a spinoff. Highlight a character's qualities from the original show they were featured on in a different light to tell their own story. Jimmy is so likeable he was able to convince strangers on a bus to help him in his scheme. He is also so confident, he's willing to bring in loose ends to help him refine the impact he's trying to bring in with the letters.
Like the first guy said, he used his expertise to help some old people from being ripped off their pension. Not out of monetary gain but out of justice
Dude, this is such a smart plan. The first time I saw it, I was like, "What if somebody tells on Jimmy?" Then I remembered if I was on a four hour bus trip and a dude paid me like, $100 to sign post cards during it, I'd defend that man to death before ratting. Also I said $100 because I have to write my parent's post cards and letters for them because they're too old, so I literally sign post cards for free all the time.
@@lydialynagh3309 The sad thing is that more people than you might think actually have that very gift, but rarely ever tap in to it. It is usually the sociopaths that tap in to it, and out of a false sense of bravado. Normal people are too humble, and often sell themselves too short. Which is too bad, because if they tapped in to it, that gift could be used to bring a lot of peace, harmony and prosperity to the world.

Our Government used to give them fuel subsidies to service rural communities, so it's hard for small time operators to step up and take that place. It's more than even just riding. Greyhound Courier used to be huge in my part of Ccanada too. Real shame. Lots of good memories with Greyhound.
Same thing in Jurassic Park where the T-Rex chases the Jeep, "Must go faster". They just filmed the wrangler driving up and down the same dirt road several times over
They did a good job of making the Albuquerque area look like Louisiana, which is much greener. I think that they must have done the scenes near the Rio Grande...maybe Sandia Lakes or another part of the Bernalillo area?
Or, they actually shot that scene in Louisiana? I mean... they just needed one camera shot of Bob Odenkirk walking off a bus in from of the Coushatta post office.

It's more than just Vince. Everyone gives him credit for what was mostly the initial idea- but it took an entire team (and a lot of coincidences) to make a good a show as this is.
By season 4 Vince was working on El Camino. He had nothing to do with the show until he came back and directed Bagman, 508. He was back in the writer’s room for season 6.
Jimmy goes across the country and pays out of his pocket just to help Huell out. Say what you want but he looks out for his friends (even if not for the best reasons)
I really think that both Chuck and Jimmy are two sides of the same coin. Both of them were equally brilliant in their own way. If both weren't so skewed morally, they would've taken over New Mexico as lawyers.
We won't he said he can't now because it is too difficult with his other contracts. I think they created the character who go steal the bavarian boy just to replace him
@@marc-antoinemarcoux697 Dang... you right. He's got that Disney contract, and we all know how they can be. If my memory serves me correct, though, the guy who steals the Bavarian boy is the same character who owns the fumigation buisness, in Breaking Bad.
@@marc-antoinemarcoux697 Reminds me that they created Mike Ehrmantraut because Bob Odenkirk had a scheduling conflict the day they were shooting Jane's cleanup scene.
@@dantetejeda1868 Yes but they gave him more importance I still think this part would have fit better with him because he has a relationship with Saul already.
Supposedly the writers really had trouble doing this. Once they do the situation they commit to it and supposedly they spend agest getting any idea how the characters would get out of it
Wouldn't the assistant D.A. find it suspicious that all those letters and postcards came from the same post office (since they would have the same post office stamp on them)?
They usually don’t add the most recent season until about 2 or 3 weeks before the next season premieres on AMC, so season 5 probably won’t hit Netflix until early 2022.
