Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul have created a world where all these criminal masterminds play chess against one another.  A big piece of the business they're into is the cover up. Covering up their misdeeds has created a lot of fictional brands and the biggest to come of it outside of Saul/ Jimmy McGill's business is "Los Pollos Hermanos". AMC jumps all over a show when fans love it and this season of Better Call Saul features the return of Gustavo Fring, played by Giancarlo Esposito. They've made these videos for his business, which have Easter eggs about his real business.  Check it out:

Charles McGill should probably get his own prequel. It should explain why he is such a judgmental douche-bag to his younger brother who for the most part, has helped him through his made-up issue. In the fictional universe of Breaking Bad , all the characters go through an evolution. Something that made them a meth king pin, a shady lawyer, or a lethal bag-man. Charles McGill went from being a successful lawyer to being a crazy jerk-brother. Season two consisted of "Chuck" getting in the way of any small modicum of success Jimmy would ever come close to having. He even finds ways to get over his issues with electricity when he wants to find the fault in which Jimmy is succeeding. The only support Jimmy got all season was from Kim Wexler, who has a soft spot for him because even though she sees Jimmy's faults, she still admires his effort to try and be a good man and a decent lawyer. Something she was not getting at Hamlin, Hamlin, & McGill (HHM), funny ...

Our favorite lawyer has returned and things are at a crossroads at this point in the life of James McGill. Since this all takes place before he transforms into the very well connected "Saul Goodman", he is at a point where he could be an average guy, or an average lawyer. However, like Walter White outside influences will seem to eventually stir him on the path of the "morally flexible" as his soon to be associate Mike puts it. This season starts off like the last, in black and white, with a displaced Saul Goodman managing a Cinnabon. Not what he was used to, but surviving even when he gets locked out of the mall. It would seem each season is a time for reflection on how he wound up where he is. In his pre- Breaking Bad memories, he got out from under his brother's shadow (mostly) and is working for a new law firm that seems to want to good for the elderly at Sandpiper, the retirement community chain McGill/Goodman fell upon while trying to make his wa...

When will we see the silver tongue of Saul Goodman emerge and begin to make his many connections to the criminal underworld. We did get some of that, and we saw him try to make the right choices.
