I've heard the criticism about Jack being a weak replacement for Gus, and I think more importantly, those people completely miss the point that Walter/Heisenberg has become the villain of season 5. The Jack and his nazis are there to show how far Walter has gone down the bad choice road.
I agree. I also feel that it adds more to the criminal underworld as a whole. If it was just gus and the cartel it would feel smaller in terms of world building imo
Who could replace Gus. It showed how one drug dealer , Gus, was organized, diligent and saw the bigger picture etc. That was what Walt aspired to be. Instead he let his ego ruin everything Walt and Gus both felt invincible. Things went downhill with Jack- he was sloppy, didn't care about business or relationships with "coworkers". This is what Walt ultimately became.
I feel like they accomplished that but something about going from super calculated drug lord to random white trash guy who was eventually Walter's undoing just felt extremely underwhelming
@@JR-me7yk It wasn't some random white trash dude who was Walt's undoing, it was Walt. He made so many bad and flat out sloppy decisions because he felt invincible. Leaving incriminating evidence in his house in plain sight, getting himself into deeper water by not cashing out when the only two people he could trust decided to quit, and of course working with complete and utter human trash who place no value on human life, much less his or anyone else he cared about. He's the one who made Jesse his enemy, he's the one who let Hank find evidenced that confirmed that he was Heisenberg and he was most definitely the one who led Jack directly to his money.
Jack didn't outwit Walter, he overpowered him through sheer force because Walter allowed him to. Of course after Walt has been completely humbled by the event and has nothing left to lose, he easily defeats Jack. His fall from the throne in Ozymandias was completely his own fault
@@SoIstice I worded it wrong and I know it was Walter's decent into moral corruption and inflated ego that was his undoing but it just felt underwhelming how his opposition eventually became Jack
It was so bold of the writers to do a Better Call Saul crossover before they even conceived of the prequel, definitely one of the best crossovers in TV history. Bravo Vince!
Why did people like this
@@badgirlhollywood9741 Because of my astute observation skills and charming demeanor
@@alexthrailkill truly one of the humans of all time
i cant believe i still crack up at these kind of comments
Saul was a massive fail , a slow drudge full of long winded supposedly arty shots that brought nothing but tedium. Overblown
How ironic that the one character (Jesse) who was initially destined to die in the first season, turns out to be the one character who escapes death and incarceration.
Yeah it’s crazy how this show came to be. It appears as thoroughly in depth and planned yet they changed stuff on the fly ALL THE TIME.
Like randomly adding a character when Bob Odenkirk couldn’t appear that day. So Mike was born.
Same for carol in walking dead
Thats how good Vince Gilligan is as a writer. He can change shit on the fly and still turn it into gold.
Totally destroys the idea of a Southern man being any less intelligent. If anything they're smarter than us yankees

@@yogurtmale4946 TUTUTUTUTU, TU TU TU TU, TU, TUTUTU, TUTUTUTUTUTUTU THE GUY"
The Marie Kleptomaniac arc was actually less meaningless than I originally thought on my first watch. I still do believe that the season 1 stealing plot wasn't planned to go anywhere, but the season 4 reoccurrence was actually some genius writing to get Hank back on the trail of Walt. Right before Marie gets caught stealing in season 4, Hank has pretty much given up on the Heisenberg case as he is bedridden and very busy with his minerals, but after Marie gets caught, this causes detective Roberts to bring Hank Gale's notebook, since Hank owes Roberts a favor for getting Marie out of trouble. This notebook is what puts Hank back on the case and closer than ever to finding Heisenberg. Without Marie's kleptomaniac era, Hank never sees the notebook and most likely never catches Walt. The Breaking Bad writers took a failed plotline from season one and turned it into maybe the most pivotal part of the DEA's search for Heisenberg. Bravo, Vince.
Vince and crew really were lightning in a bottle.
You mean busy with his rocks.
@@LisaAnn777 for gods sake they're MINERALS!
I think the point of Marie stealing even early on was also to challenge the audience. Like how much more upset are we at Marie when we learn she steals, gets her family involved in her crime and then stubbornly refuses to admit the truth when called out on it than we are Walter who is doing the same thing but 100 times worse?
When Skyler pressed Marie about stealing and told Marie she wanted her sister back, Marie broke down and apologized to skyler. She was willing to set aside her pride and be there for Skyler. This helped her and skyler become close again and they became a strong pair. This is pretty much the opposite of what happens with Skyler and Walter. It's a neat parallel, and it redeems Marie and makes her a strong character
18:18 "Introducing Hector is a stroke of absolute genius."
Heh, a stroke.
Shut up bro pls
Something about watching the great Heisenberg yell “get off the toilet” twice in a row in S1 is immensely satisfying.
“It’s worth *NOTHING* if you smoke it all. Get off the toilet.”
This show is just a Master Piece & then on rewatch it’s a Master Piece all over again especially out of context or with extra context or hyper context chaffed w/irony. Huell knows.
I love that they kept making characters that were only supposed to last a season, but they were just _too fucking good_ to let go of
SAME
its interesting that Skylar's actress got the same treatment that Geoffrey's actor from game of thrones got, they did so well in their roles that everyone actually really hated them and thought they were actually like these charaters in real life, its also tragic because it made both actors back away from acting and hollywood altogether
true. I'm re- watching GoT about the 6th or 7th time and Geoffrey's actor is(sic) a damned legend seriously nails it.
I still don't understand how Skyler got the same amount of hate as Joffrey tho. One is a full blown psychopathic sadist and the other is a bit of a nag, who wants to shield her children from a drug kingpin.
@@slungellife people don’t like nagging. There’s ur answer
@@slungellife she is written specifically to be hated. In the first episode she gives Walt a birthday handjob while tracking eBay sales. She seduces her boss and cooks his books, but never had that type of energy for her husband. It’s not about how “bad” she is compared to Walt, it’s that she’s written in a way that, up until Walt poisons Brock, she’s the easiest to hate.
@@johngenesistv To a certain point yes, but she was never supposed to be hated. as much as she was. “Back when the show first aired, Skyler was roundly disliked,” Gilligan said. “I think that always troubled Anna Gunn. And I can tell you it always troubled me, because Skyler, the character, did nothing to deserve that."
As someone who grew up in Albuquerque I can confidently say the way jessie acts in the first couple seasons before he gets in too deep is the definition of an abq male😂😂😂😂😂
You mean any and all ABQ males or the ABQ junkies?
@@AlexandeRSciswoR most abq males lmao trust
@@AlexandeRSciswoR whats the difference?
@@noahdrucker3076 That not all citizens in a city are junkies or drug users.
@@AlexandeRSciswoR woooooosh
Saul's wacky proposals in season 4 fit better after the writers said they wanted to reveal LazerTag's Danny as none other than Daniel Wormald (AKA Pryce). Saul was trying to save his buddy's business. And it would've been a legendary bit, that Jimmy as a bit connoisseur would love.
He DEFECATED thru a SUNROOF
The prize for getting the high score at laser tag is baseball cards.
@@bradcarver8127 with a slice of pie.
It's kind of insane to think about how, with the exception of the last two episodes, the series takes place over the course of a year.
Edit: nvm a year and 6 months
It made Skyler's pregnancy seem to last a decade.
Actually two years; S5E4 marks one year, and Gliding Over All is a 6 month time skip. But I agree - it’s wild what they go through in such a short timespan when we as an audience had years to process it live.
@@SlipMaker Oh, I didn't know Gliding Over All is a 6 month skip. Like you said though, that's still a relatively short amount of time considering everything they go through.
how is it insane? it looks normal to me
Yeah. Feels far fetched honestly. The first two Seasons alone feel like a year.
About Season 5, you mentioned that Skyler is suddenly team Walt, and I never felt it myself. I'm pretty sure Walter TNTing a nursing home, anyone would be scared to go against him. Not to mention, she went through extreme amounts of stress that lead to her breaking down in the car wash and her attempt at walking into a body of water in Grand Theft Auto Vice City(sorry for censoring, I don't wanna get flagged).
Combine this with having to deal with Beneke's aftermath, I don't think she sides with Walt as much as she's just given up. Ofc, the whole Hank thing exists, and, I don't know if it's implied, it reads like she saw Hank was more interested in getting Walter over helping her, which is probably not going to go well over a person who has been stressed and scared for like a few months. There's also the self-preservation angle of not wanting to mess with the law since she also had a hand in Walt's business.
tl;dr homegirl is tired and probably wants a break.
Yea I definitely think she developed some form of Stockholm syndrome as well
Agreed, other than you not knowing your explosives.
Were you censoring an S word that involves one not existing anymore? I find it extremely odd how the internet now censors basic terms you can use on Saturday morning cartoons on network television. It angers me that we can't say simple words used in reality.
@@D-Fens_1632 i mean I agree but I really don't think Saturday morning cartoon are saying that word
I feel you guys miss the point skykars with walt cause if walt geys taken down then she loses everything as she can be implicated guys and that means she ends up in jail or in many court cases, ruining her family so she sided with walt as personal protection not cause she is with Walt etc.
Goofy or otherwise, that slam that Ted takes is easily once of the most wince inducing moments i''ve seen on TV, and when Skyler sees him in the hospital, that was really shocking the first time I saw it, somehow.
Almost as good as Night of the living dead, Johnny hitting the tombstone..
When he fell it was hilarious....I thought he was dead, until his finger twitched
I just assumed he had a minor neck/spine injury but fr seeing him be paralyzed completely made me feel sorry for a fictional character who by all accounts was an absolute dumbass
Honestly the reveal in the hospital probably made my jaw drop harder than any other moment in the series
"Where's the season-arc villain?" He's right there. The bald guy with the goatee who calls himself Heisenberg.
Its actually very common for people diagnosed with a death sentence to have huge problems and anger if the treatment is successful or they otherwise get to live. Obviously most of them IRL don't have a secret meth empire but its a very accurate touch in the show
Interesting.
Good one😅
dieing is easy living is harder
I guess spelling is really the hardest.@@captainclutch8463
@@captainclutch8463why are you telling me this
What’s interesting is that Walter actually died when the doctor said he would die when he was first diagnosed.
He was estimated to have 2 years left.
He died at 2 years after the original diagnosis.
And the cancer was his pride... And his ego.
Poetry.
😮
I’m constantly baffled by how underrated your channel is.
I gotvtgat😇😇😇😐🙆♀️
Absolutely!
Honestly though
20 min into this video is the first time it’s on my recommended page and subscribing because of this comment. I’m always looking for good TH-cam channels.
I’ll might stick around
"The only person having less fun-"
It's Jesse. Jesse is always having less fun. That boy needed a damn break, and he never, *ever* got one.
A moment of silence for the fact that we are unlikely to ever again experience the storytelling perfection of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul in television.
lots of young filmmakers are breaking bad fans, we're in store for a lot of great shows in the future
There are tons of great tv shows that have perfected storytelling:
- The Sopranos
- Six Feet Under
-The Wire
- Mad Men
- Boardwalk Empire
- Twin Peaks The Return
Anyone who watched The Wire said that, and is still true. BB is a good drama but they never showed the system except the Madrigal episode. BB cant even compare on that note with The Wire. BB is just longer Scarface retelling.
@@pyro380 I would add Profit too, waaay ahead its time and excellent.
@@iljavija Huh, I never even heard of that show. I put it on my watchlist. Interesting that it predates the Sopranos when it comes to charismatic villaneous protagonists. There are only 8 episodes right?
Dude, your upload schedule is nuts. I feel like we just got the GOT rewind. Your output given the quality of your work is insane. I hope you get the following you deserve. Can't wait to watch.
Slip Maker is for TV what Mandalore Gaming is for video games, and I cannot stress enough how much I love these retrospectives.
They even sound alike!
@@abdulrahmanrehmtulla3833 its the same guy with multiple personalities, all of which enjoy quality content.
On point!
Wait until you discover Retro Ahoy
Wait then who's sesst?
You mentioned how the conversation around smoking weed has shifted since then. And i agree, but I was rewatching it with someone that hasn't seen it all yet. And somewhere in the first 3 episodes Marie asks Hank to show Walt Jr an autopsy. Hank says something like "an autopsy of a weed overdose, Jesus Christ Marie" which made us actually laugh out loud
I'm just sitting here waiting for Better Spank Hank, a spinoff where Hank actually brings Heisenberg to justice, becomes director of the DEA working closely with Steve Gomez, and finally gets a tuggy from Shania Twain.
Sounds glorious.
@@concept5631check out the Gus spin-off, Better Halt Walt
😂❤😂❤😂
Honestly? That moment when Hank said "It's Hankin' time." Before beating Jesse to near death was such a powerful scene.
I didn’t like that scene because hank didn’t hank all over the place before he left the room
Unrealistic
@@Herzyyyy now i have to think about what "hankin" all kver a room is
Or when Walter said "Bazinga" before detonating a bomb in Tucos office
21:41 thank you for mentioning this!
Yes, I agree that skyler, before she knew, could be a very frustrating character. Because the audience wanted to go back to the exciting plotlines with Jesse and Walter, because the silent treatment is quite frustrating, because she is too smart to be blind to what's going on, because she acts in a somewhat antagonistic role, being that she's challenging the main characters, -- it resulted in many in audience beginning to dislike her.
But then, by the time she knows, is in the scheme, has her own badass moments, acts in ways that all other characters would, I don't understand how people remained hating her. Especially since around this time, your sympathy for Walt is supposed to be dwindling a little. By seasons 4 and 5 (even 3, after Jane's death) the audience begins to take a step back and it slowly gets clearer and clearer, that *even if you still root for him, as a main character*, he is immensely flawed and those who oppose him, those who he hurts, are not antagonists, and should be sympathize with, even if just to a degree.
Something that baffles me is the misunderstanding of skylers actions that culminate in Crawl Space. It is painted out to the audience, loud and clear, that she needs Ted to pay this money, *not because she is in love with him, not because she will continue to cheat with him*, but because *if he doesn't, the FBI will be on HER ass too, and they will look into her finances and notice these discrepancies, notice the laundering, and will catch onto Walt's business*.
Yet I hear people in my classes and online discussing the show, who act as though she was a terrible bitch for this. Who act like she was completely selfish, when really it was an act for her family and husband, an act of self preservation, that is completely justified within the narrative. Baffles me.
People just don’t understand Skylar broke bad too
We hate her because of her personality, and because she is a hypocrite. We don’t hate her in defense of Walt. She is every annoying female character rolled into one obnoxious package. Walt is horrible, that doesn’t make her any less annoying.
@@circedelune I never saw her as necessarily hypocritical, but rather just with changing motivations as the plot progresses. Although if you give specific examples I'll definitely consider them.
This comment was more about the takes I see that disregard elements of the story and personally bother me. You can still not like her if you want
@@circedelune how is she annoying?? she’s super intelligent and dedicated to trying to protect her family, she’s very similar to walt except she knows how to check her ego. i was rooting for her the whole time
@@sasha8345
She sang.
giancarlo even played a character that was basically gus in the cyberpunk english dub, that man is trapped but he just does it so well
Nah the character in cyberpunk turned out to just be a blowhard who was kissing ass to higher ups
@@islandboy9381 I'm just talking about being an intimidating boss of sorts and a generally unknown quantity for most of the show. his mannerisms are similar to gus' and he played it the same way he played gus
He also played an exact replica villain in Farcry 6
To add, I love that you're not going through the plot episode by episode but by looking at individual story and character arcs one season at a time, that's what I like to see
Anna gunn got a raw deal. Especially when I rewatched it recently pan closer attention to her character to try to figure out the hate, I found her to be even more sympathetic than in past viewing. Not without fault or some degree of complicity but yikes she was still such a s*** sandwich. She handled it better than I would have in a similar situation
Her acting was magisterial
Her performance was so incredible that the Skyler haters couldn't separate the character from the actress. Skyler is phenomenally written and I think it's such a shame that Anna Gunn had to deal with so much abuse from the fan base for her performance.
I've seen the series a few times at this point, from first viewing I pretty much hated her too (not because 'she was opposing my hero' like it felt a lot of misguided people felt at the time, more because even though she was realistically written she still ultimately served as a wet blanket and roadblock to the plot), then on around my 3rd rewatch I realized what a great character she really was and how stellar of a job Anna Gunn really did. Now she's my second favorite character after Mike
Anna Gunn was a victim of the show's terrible writing.
@@cmonman3639 comment bait
Thanks for mentioning the humor of Breaking Bad I feel like no one talks about how it's funnier than most comedies.
The part where you said Jesse was gonna commit to being evil, wearing a fake felt gotee till he grows a real one...I GOT THAT COMMUNITY REFERENCE
23:51 And the fact that Bob Odenkirk never won an Emmy for this role is an absolute criminal.
Agreed
I tried to get a friend to watch the show, but she refused because, "Teachers shouldn't become drug dealers". I replied, "Of course they shouldn't! The series is a character study, not an endorsement of behavior". She rolled her eyes and changed the subject.
And Hobbits shouldn’t be leaving the shire lmao
Sounds like a dork
Theyre probably stupid lol
What an ignorant person lol, wonder how much she's missed out on with that attitude
🙄
Honestly, the thing I didn't like about the last season was Jesse being the cook slave. That poor guy had been through so much trauma already, he just didn't need that much more.
That's why the movie is so great
I might literally drive into work tomorrow instead of working from home JUST SO I CAN LISTEN TO THIS IN THE CAR.
....could you just take a walk through the neighborhood for an hour? Just throwing out an alternative for listening to this given the two options haha
I don't know about that...I think that these kind of analysis/review videos communicate more than just the words, with the footage that is shown to accompany what they are saying. But that's just how I like to consume this kind of media, everyone's got their preferences.
I also might drive into work tomorrow, but that's just a figure of speech
All I listen to are BB/BCS analysis videos as I drive to work. Makes the hour long commute feel faster.
Literally?
I watched Malcolm In The middle when It first aired and loved Bryan Cranston as Hal. When I watched breaking Bad I thought the casting mad perfect sense, after the series finale on Breaking bad and went back and rewatched Malcom, there is an episode, I can’t remember the exact one but Bryan pulls that quick change of acting in one character to acting in another in a flash the way he seemlessly does between Walt and Heisenberg, It just makes perfect sense, Bryan was always the perfect cast for Walter White.
Cranston is easily one of my favorite actors of all time.
It’s probably the episode where they take Malcolm’s money for themselves and Hal becomes more callous there’s even that part where he asks Lois “where’s the rest of the money” and it literally sounds exactly like Heisenberg
@@steveharveysmustache3988 the scene was the black dad, Hal, the mom, and I think a couple others from the neighborhood and discussing distracting a security guard for some reason, and they use the words “get rid of him” meaning distract him, and Hal chimes in “ oh you mean, git rid of him” but does it in a Heisenberg voice, then queue the laugh track, “no Hal” from Lois and slap in the arm and conversation continues.
Man, “appeasing the gods with an Aztec sacrifice” really got me. Well done, as always.
I didn't mind the "lapses" for Jesse, when he had less to do. Because it was in a shifting tide between himself and Mike. By the time they meant to part ways and leave town, they were buddies. That juncture brought something out of both characters we didn't see earlier.
A little thing I noticed is the clock in Walter and Skylar house is faintly heard in every scene and it sounds like a timer or countdown just ticking away. emphasizing that time is ticking on the relationship and on Walt in general.
Walter White couldn't have done it without Saul Goodman, but Better Call Saul couldn't have done it without Breaking Bad.
Perfect quote right here
Agreed
I feel like the reason Gus allowed Walt to interfere with his plans to kill Hank, is because he's confident he can keep things under wraps, and because he wanted to try and convince Jesse that Walt should die
Gus's underestimation of Walter was always his greatest weakness.
I've rewatched this show so many times I've lost count. Why can't more shows like this be made today??
Have you seen Barry?
No, where was he last seen?@@firiel2366
@@firiel2366 nowhere near as good imo
I will admit I liked watching Skyler's more criminal focused role in season 4 so much that I didn't realize how it was kinda unfortunate for Saul's role. Wish you didnt point it out frankly :(
It’s so rare to see creators make prequels and sequels and have them be consistently amazing if not better then the original
I remember when BB & Mad Men started on AMC. I instantly thought they’re probably going to be stupid. Me & my mom sat down and watched BB together. Since she had recently recovered from cancer we gave it a chance. For the rest of the series every Sunday night at 10pm we were hooked! It was crazy back in the day when you had to wait a whole week in between eps!
“The terminal treacherous teacher vs the criminal chicken crisper”
“Bad blood between baldies”
Hospital Worker:
“Sir, there’s no smoking within 6’ of the building..”
Jesse:
“So push me further bitch!”
I am only 5 minutes into this and can already tell the level of care that goes into your work. Subscribed.
Same.
The irony of breaking bad is that Gus chose his revenge over his employees and that’s what got him destroyed. All he had to do was kill those drug dealers, but trying to kill Walt only made things worse.
I really enjoyed this recap. I'm always amazed at how you can lay out a series so well while being witty and insightful.
Knew you were making something like this when Better Call Saul ended. Keep up the good work. I'm excited to watch this!
I see this show primarily as a comedy, the drama itself is hilariously dark *because* it's so grim but also because it's just normal people being so crazy
it defo isnt primarily comedy
@@Cadoe then why is every episode so funny?
@@Cadoe it’s primarily an ensemble buddy comedy. Walt and Jesse bounce off each other seamlessly, Hank and Goomby opt for wise cracks and ribbing. Skyler and Jr have fewer but classic moments “why you gotta be such a b***h?”. The twins, Badger & Skinless Pete, Tio & Gus, Huyell and Bill Burr. Yes I am right
I'd say is funny, but too serious to be a comedy
@@bleachboys3623 we all know it *has* comedy, but the stakes and themes of the show are taken far too seriously in the latter half of the show to argue that the spirit of the show is *a comedy*.
48:24 contrary to popular belief, the bulk of Ted's injuries were caused by the oranges falling onto his butt.
I was planning on hitting the like button no matter what, but then you hit me with the *“appeasing the Gods with an Aztec sacrifice”* line and I damn near spat out my drink.
I just got it

Walt’s descent into villainy makes perfect sense into season 5. There’s no scene where his depravity surprises me, bc there’s literally nothing that could convince me after he assaulted his wife that he was ever a decent man to begin with.

I'm so very glad that your video is back up, I wouldn'd wanna live in a world without Slip Maker's Breaking Bad Retrospective
Awesome work - Every time I watch one of your retrospectives I end up having to add another show rewatch to my queue. It's great.
This was brilliant. Love that you were fair in pointing out some of the show’s flaws, yet it’s still such a masterpiece
Love every one of your videos, you’ve literally been covering all of my favorite shows.
absolutely love your channel i would ADORE a house md retrospective
These retrospectives are some of the best content on youtube imo great job

Hey man just got this video recommended and already binged your Americans and GoT video after this one. I've literally been hoping to stumble upon a channel with exactly this kind of long form series retrospectives content for a long while now and I know for a fact that I'm not alone in this, so I am really glad I found you! Keep up the good work, the algorithm definitely noticed you already and it's only a matter of time until you explode :)
dude your channel is seriusly underrated, you produce GREAT content, keep up the nice work!
Amazing video man. You pump this stuff out like a machine and it’s all fantastic
Love your comments on what creators have said in interviews etc. - there’s real depth to this
Doing my exams online, perfect timing for me. Your content is appreciated Slip Maker
You make my favorite long form videos on TH-cam. Keep it up man
Incredible research, commentary, and editing, I love it! Thank you for the video!
excellent video. Loved the intro and closing. your analysis season by season is spot on.
I'm sure there exist many viewers who listen to your words, but I just have to say, the way in which you speak and deliver your script and lines, you have the best way of words. You have excellent word choices and have so many quips, tones, and quick references, I have been on my toes listening to your explanation every second of this 1hr+ video. Thank you for heightening my listening abilities.
Ramping up my watch of BCS so I can catch your retrospective when it drops. Your ability to break down television shows by theme, structure and pacing is peerless, and your taste in kino television is 👌. Keep up the great work!
BCS is absolutely brilliant
Amazing and just what I needed to get through a long workout. You deserve more subs!
I'm glad you won the fight for this bro! Love your retrospectives.
As to your Season 3 criticism, Saul gave good advice (relative to the universe) about the car wash. Skyler got her pride hurt and refused to listen to him, manipulating Walt into going along with her. So I view it as a sign of Skyler being better than expected at this but also being as petty as the others. She never took him seriously.
Imagine if Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould ended Dexter.
Oh boy 🔥
DUDE! I am so happy this video is back!! A few days ago I was trying to find it and was VERY sad to find out what had happened to it. It is GREAT to see this video again :')
Also, very sorry about your dog. I hope that you're continuing to take care of yourself, as it can be hard to forget to do that at a time like this. Much love
Genuinely one of my favorite TH-cam channels keep it up my friend!
Fantastic overview, love the Flipside music throughout the season 5 summary
Banger video. Excellent breakdown of the show. Can't wait for the Better Call Saul Retrospective

@@moshu9952 Zygo headphones. They’re the best
Just discovered your channel tonight and have watched 4 hours straight. Videos are so well done. Great insight on shows I thought I already knew everything about and a FANTASTIC sense of humor. I'm officially a HUGE FAN. Bravo, my friend... Keep up the good work! 👏👏👏👏
Love these retrospectives
incredible video!
This was so fun to listen to, thank you so much for your hard work 💜 if you’d do a BCS retrospective it’d be amazing as well!
Love your content.
I think season 2 is just about perfect. It starts off strong right out the gate and ends in such a fascinatingly tragic way. Seasons 3 and 4 are great, but My biggest problem with them is that I think that their set ups take way too long before the great stuff comes in in the last two thirds of both seasons.
What about season 5?
you must have loved s5 then
Season 5 as a whole was my favorite. S2 was a close second
i agree season 2 is what hooked me
I found you a few days ago with the Hannibal retrospective and love your content dude
I happened to have just finished the series for the first time around 2 weeks ago, too.
Great overview of it, man.
I’m really hoping your channel takes off soon and you get the numbers you deserve! I love your reviews - thorough, insightful, funny, just perfection! I haven’t even watched this series and I was still excited to hear your opinions on it.
Breaking bad and better call Saul are possibly the only shows I can think of where every single season gets better than the last and it is amazing
I actually don’t think better call Saul gets better every season. That’s not a bad thing though, because it stays great the whole way though.
Better Call Saul S05 was Great - 9/10
While S06 was just good
This Video is amazing. I've probably watched it like 5 times and nearly every Line is worthy of at least a sensible chuckle.
It feels good to be back thanks for fighting the good fight slipmaker
i just finished rewatching this masterpiece of a show yesterday and my main takeaway (apart from how unbelievably good it is) is that the Skyler hate is absolutely baffling. Like I know art is subjective and stuff but if you hate Skyler, you're watching this show wrong.
She was designed to be an insufferable character
@@iwannabethekid34xc I don't think she was designed to be a insufferable character.
@@judeconnor-macintyre9874 Vince and the writers will literally tell you that’s not the case
@@JC19021 Oh, well I didn't find her insufferable.
@@judeconnor-macintyre9874 oops sorry meant to reply to Soloman
I was so stoked when you announced this video, and you definitely did not disappoint :D Your videos are fantastic. Can't wait to see your channel blow up
your content ROCKS, sir!
Slip Maker, been binge watching your channel for a few days, top work, really enjoying it. You've mentioned Chuck a number of times, I'd love to see a retrospective of that :) Keep up the good work
