Oh my god??????????

11. Better Call Saul (AMC) “Impossibly, Better Call Saul has improved season-to-season at the same rate Breaking Bad did, mirroring that show and constantly revealing new layers to both as a result. But Better Call Saul stands so strongly on its own that you could be a fanatic without knowing who Walter White is at all. This is thanks largely to the show’s directorial patience and confidence (good God that wordless sequence with Mike and the gas tank cap), nuanced period details, blistering sense of humor and powerful performances (specifically Michael McKean as Chuck, Rhea Seehorn as Kim and Michael Mando as Nacho). Equally impressive is the show’s re-introduction of supporting characters from Breaking Bad, which never feels like fan service, just the reciprocal movements of the pendulum that swings back and forth in Vince Gilligan’s clockwork universe. But the show’s centerpiece always has been and always will be Bob Odenkirk, who has helped craft Gilligan’s own Falstaff; the doomed, brilliant fool we long to see rise up on his own terms, even as we know how horrifying his fall will be.” – Graham Techler
