Original Show: Better Call Saul - Розваги
Kim Wexler is legit one of the best female characters written in years. Rhea Seehorn absolutely nails it.
She ABSOLUTELY nails this character, could argue outshines Saul
_The Expanse_ was full of phenomenal, well written women characters. I mean... there was no weak link on that show period, but the women definitely shined.
Totally agree!
Spot on- the anti Skyler White.
@@PhasersAndArrowsSkyler White was amazing wdym?
Nacho is an amazing character. Michael Mando is an incredible performer, I can’t wait for you to know him better
I love the writing for Nacho, but there's one character I think I enjoy even more. Without giving any spoilers, he hasn't been introduced yet, and he isn't in Breaking Bad.
PAKA PAKA PAKA EN MI CABALLO 🙂
@@neil2444Can’t wait for his arrival in her watch through 😂
Don't read this V! ***** SPOILER ALERT! *****

I thought BCS was a far reach as a spinoff from BB, but look how wrong I was.
But a Nacho spinoff/prequel? That would be great. The potential for emotional drama as the rift between him and his father is opening up and just gets wider...
@@donkfail1 Vince Giligan the creators of both series said that he was done with the BB universe so I don't think we will get another spin off but it's for the best
27:42 - Saul rejected the bribe from Walt because he didn't know Walt and it was too low to take the risk that Walt wasn't trying to trap him, he even told Walt it was low! He was definitely bribe-able in Breaking Bad!
Jesse and Walt kidnap Saul and take him to the desert. When they unblindfold him in front of a shallow grave, Saul begs for his life and says, (among other things), "It was all Ignacio!"
Amazing writing. Gotta heart it
Yea I think she's got a bit of selective amnesia on Saul, lol. in BB he's about as corrupt and sleezy as they come. He definitely takes bribes, just not from randos.
The look of disappointment that washed over you as you realized the billboard guy rescue was a setup.
one of the best sink ins i've seen. i laughed so hard at that 😂😂
It's amazing how many people (including me) didn't recognize it as a scam from the beginning. They even telegraph it right in the cold open!
You can even see frame by frame how she gets disappointed in such a short time.
Nacho looks like a guy who knows about the definition of insanity.
Yep .. and he will tell you ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
He knew Tuco!
Now there is a reference of quality!😊
Did I ever tell you the definition of insanity?
Insanity… is doing the same fucking thing, over and over, and expecting shit to change.
That. Is. Crazy

The actors playing Betsy and Craig have such amazing chemistry. They rehearsed together constantly to create the Kettlemans, they're like one character. I love them.
One of my favorite behind-the-scenes videos is Betsy and Craig doing commentary *in character* for the episode titled Bingo. It's hilarious.
@@lawesomesauce6247 Where can I find it?
The most absurd thing about Tuco is the actor who plays Tuco is such a soft spoken and kind person that If you watch his interview it's soo weird. You feel like shaking him up so he yells and punch people so he feels normal 😂
V isn’t too wrong too often. “The Kettleman’s are secret geniuses” is one of those times 😂
What reaction are you watching? V is wrong about something at least once every 30 seconds.
The earlier seasons of better call Saul are the most interesting to me, because you can see all the building blocks of who Saul ultimately became. It's also incredible nuanced and subtle.
Your summary at the end is what makes BCS so great. Where Breaking Bad was the story of a man diving into evil freely and willingly, Better Call Saul is the story of a bad man trying desperately and futilely to break good.
In the beginning I thought I would have to learn to think of Jimmy as Jimmy and not as Saul, but as I progressed in the first season I realised that it was a similar journey as Walter White where we saw his progression from Walt to Heisenberg and like that we are seeing Jimmy's progression from Jimmy McGill to Saul Goodman. Internally I've grown to just think of him as Jimmy.
I found that Jimmy's story is more ironic and sad.
Walt is just narcistic and delusional maybe since his college days.
I replied with a comment earlier and after completion, realized I agree with you and that I was drunk when I started. You’re 100% on the money there lol😅
Chuck's illness is one of the most interesting, and frustrating parts of the show. Already you see that he is almost completely isolated from the outside world, and his mental state deteriorates whenever "Slippin' Jimmy" makes an appearance. How many times has Chuck pulled Jimmy out of the fire, how many messes did he have to clean up? Right now in the series Chuck and Mike seem to be the only ones who can see Jimmy clearly for what he is.
Some of your wording there 🔥
Yep.
*SPOILER BELOW*

People always accuse Chuck of never giving Jimmy a chance but the fact is we don't know how many chances Chuck gave him that he then betrayed. It could very well be that the moment we see in the ep3 opening is the latest one in a long line of situations where Chuck had to bail Jimmy out and he's basically saying "This is the last time you messed up. If you do it again, I'm done with you"
I’m a lawyer. One of my clients wants to print up matchbooks with Saul design saying “Better Call Paul”. If they sued me I’d say “I’m using my own name”.
Vik made me forget my problems again for 40 min straight
I’m still waiting for the actor who plays nacho to return as scorpion in the MCU
Saul didn't take bribe from Walt (Mr. Mayhew) because he was a stranger and Saul don't take bribe from strangers cause it's risky and untrustworthy.
Also Saul wasn't in desperate need of money like Jimmy is in this episode and like you said he knew the Kettlemans are thieves Walt could have been a cop for all Saul knew.
You're such a joyous person! Thank you for your channel.
Nacho is one of my favorite characters in the entire BB/BCS universe, his acting is so good
Kim Wexler was dazzling hot in the first season
Fuck yeah
every season*
She knows it, too. When she directed an episode in the last season, she gave herself a scene of Kim lying in bed wearing short shorts, as if to say, "No more pantsuits! Check these legs out!"
Only the first season??
She always was and always will.
Have you seen young Rhea (pre-BCS) and even now. She was gorgeous then, and still aged beautifully now. Also Bob Odenkirk. They're both good-looking.
The actors playing the Kettlemans were so good.
It’s not made super clear, but the whole season Chuck and others were telling Jimmy to change his name to avoid confusion with HHM.
By intentionally inviting a Cease & Desist, he got a judge to definitively say he CAN use his own name but NOT copy Hamlin’s image.
Combined with the engineered heroics, he established his brand.
Her, every time she realizes Jimmy is pulling a scam. :O
35:45 he played you too 🤣
'S all good, man!
That is one of the biggest reveals in television history, and your reaction was perfect.
Watching this series made me happy. Watching you watch it makes me happy again. I like this series as much as Breaking Bad, but it's in the same way a person likes two favorite foods. One isn't better than the other, they're just different.
I LOVE BETTER CALL SAUL! BB was an amazing show and El Camino was a fantastic send off to our boy Jesse. But BCS is the pinnacle of Vince Gilligan's storytelling and world imo, it both perfectly expands on the events leading up to BB as well as perfectly concludes the events afterwards. It's an incredible feat of storytelling and a master class in good writing and how to make a prequel and sequel series.
The best trick Vince and Peter Gould pulled with BCS is making us care about the story even though we already know how it ends. Kim, Chuck, Nacho, and Howard aren't in BB. And we already know what eventually happens to Mike. We have no true reason to care about any character but Jimmy. But the fact that they were able to make us care so deeply about these people is a great testament to their talents.
Chuck is quite a bit older than Jimmy. I think Chuck was born in 1944, while Jimmy was born in 1960.
He doesn’t look in his 50s in BB
@@crispy_338 He would've been in his late 40s when BB takes place
20:29
A *2am "after-hours"!?* 🤣🤣🤣
I left one at like 11am a couple weeks back. I guess this place is normally a restaurant bar because the breakfast crowd of normal people were flooding in and we probably looked like straight up crazy zombies as we were bypassing them to leave 😮💨
You're going to love 1x6 and 1x9 so much!
Jimmy's thing is that he knows people that's what makes him a good investigator throughout the show even though he's using it for evil or greed. He's charismatic AF and he understands people. but he's also a criminal, so he understands criminals. Like Jesse said. A. Criminal. Lawyer. Bob Odenkirk came on that show (BB) and he was like nah I am a main character, forget guest spots.
Remember back in BB when Walt and Jessie had the bag over Saul's head when they first met him? Saul was yelling about whether Nacho had sent them to kill him.
"It wasn't me! It was Ignacio!"
No, it was a character yet to be seen in BCS. Lalo. It was Nacho's name (Ignacio) he ratted out to save his life.
Saul doesn't have a great moral compass, he refused the bribe from Walt because they had just met, Walt was acting sketchy and it was a low amount so he thought it was some sort of set up or sting to jail him. Once he realises they weren't a threat he accepts working with them.
22:30 - This is the first of MANY times you are gong to be completely fooled by Jimmy's scams. Be on the lookout. The writing of this show is beyond brilliant.
Howard Hamlin has the accent suited for audio books 📕
He looks 💯 in those suits and the lighting on that orange shirt made it look snazzy AF. I wish I could pull that off.
That was a great penny drop reaction to the guy up on the billboard.
When you get a cease and desist you can choose to ignore it and risk a lawsuit, which you then can be compelled to respond to. Usually the order has a deadline to comply with its terms to give the party a reasonable window to avoid the threatened legal action.
I love the way they shot that stairwell conversation.
Patrick Fabian was actually Professor Lasky in Saved By The Bell: The College Years.
He was also a yoga instructor in According to Jim one time. It was hilarious.
Saying Saul was unbribable in breaking bad is hilarious
It's like she can't think any deeper than the absolute surface level of what she's presented with. It's astounding.
@@jaypee9575You guys truly are venom lol. She's reacting in the moment, when people react in the moment they aren't always thinking so brilliantly pedantically. That's the beauty of tv though eh, it wants it's audience to forget things and then to remind them again gradually. She'll stop looking at him as scammy and more as charismatic, because it's mostly charisma that runs the show. She forgets he's a criminal type, you know why? Because she has a crush on slippin Jimmy, but it's ok because slippin Jimmy isn't going to end up in her life and take advantage of her letting her guard down.
Lol, you all jealous? She likes slippin Jimmy more than you?
35:38
Face of a person outwitted by Slipping Jimmy. For the second time. In the video.
World's Best Lawyer - Kim Wexler
World's Second Best Lawyer - Saul Goodman
To be fair, Walt lowballed him with the bribe. Jimmy even said so himself. It was much more of a risk assessment than it was a moral stance 😅
The Kettleman's are in *"Danger."* 😂
Im gonna rewatch this show for the 3rd time, its just amazing, you gotta love jimmy
LOL the look on your face when you realised Jimmy got you twice in one episode🤣 Welcome to the club!
Those fall bungies are rated for over a ton. They're very safe and won't snap.
16:26 Cagney and Lacey were female detectives and the title characters of an 80's TV show
4:45 - pure reaction gold at it's finest!
Your face on the realization that the billboard was a stunt and not a accident. Priceless 😅😅
Hahaha... "I don't think they're capable of crime. I really don't."... "I think they're able to.. I think they're crafty."... "I think they're secretly geniuses." :-)
For the longest time in BB I always joked Jimmys name was something you say to smooth things over "Sa'll good man!" When BTS came out, it was perfect that was the actual reason for this name.
Whenever Vicky releases a new BCS episode my day genuinly gets better
35:24 I like how he's filming on his phone and it doesn't even have a camera, lol
Better Call Saul is so different from BB, but I absolutely loved it, and binged it all in a few days. And so nice to revisit it again on this channel.
I actually woke up so excited today. looking forward to this.
thank you so much V for being here. much love :)
Chuck’s condition will be explained soon.
Having worked with lawyers and politicians, I’ve never seen a lawyer not let an unwilling colleague poop in peace.
Lobbyists, though, will literally put their hand on your shoulder while you’re using a urinal.
That was an actual bill board you could call. I drove by it every day on my way to work! I25-I40 interchange at Indian school.
This is going to sound weird but it's true: the little smile that Rhea Seehorn made at 36:09 was the final factor that convinced the showrunners to make Kim a main character.
Kim Wexler is one of the best wild cars ever made in TV history and Rhea history is interesting: she was ALWAYS casted as a support, she never had the chance to lead so that path lead her to NAIL this role. Rhea without a shadow of a doubt, it's one of the best actress of our generation
My understanding is that the reason Saul didn't take Walt's bribe in Breaking Bad was because it was too low (later, when they are threatening him in the desert, when Jessie says the deal is off, Saul comments "It was kind of low anyways").
The look on her face at 35:38 when she realizes it's all a scam is priceless! LOL
Can't wait to see her reaction when she meets lalo 😂😂
Walt is the master of science saul is the master of scams. 🌚
Your reactions are always a great time mate!
So glad your continuing on with better call Saul I hate when people stop reacting after breaking bad and El Camino they don't know how much there missing out on.
Im surprised nobody cleared this up for you when you meantioned this in Breaking Bad, but Saul was just pretending to not take bribes and be outraged just in case Walt was a cop or something. He takes bribes all the time lol
Slippin Jimmy! A unique attorney at law.
The look on V's face when she realizes the billboard scam XD
After the show I see that Howard is a good man.
Hope your day is going well VKunia! Your videos are awesome!
OMG! You picked up on every detail and made every prediction. You knew they kidnapped themselves and you knew they went camping. It's so funny how many reactors get completely lost and miss all the details. Anyway I am SO glad you are on the BCS journey. You are going to find out just how AMAZING this show is!!!
I just love your reactions. You always put a smile on my face, and my god the laughter. Which lightens the heart. You are in for a wild ride just like breaking bad. I am with you till the end. So thank you and stay well and happy.
Better call Saul is such a good show and just like Breaking Bad it keeps on getting better and better!
Very soon I’m gonna be starting this series tomorrow! I can’t wait to watch it and I’m obviously gonna be binge watching it as well just like I did with Breaking Bad!
35:37 watching the realization finally burn through… 😂
The kettlemans are so funny 😭 there is episode by episode commentary with all the actors exposing the episodes and the Kettlemans stay in character 😭😭😭
The whole thing with Chuck, Jimmy’s older brother..
He has an allergy to electricity.
If there’s one show I wish I could watch again for the first time again, it’s Better Call Saul. “Yo soy Eduardo.”
35:38 That look of realization 😂
I kind of feel like Patrick Fabian (Howard Hamlin) is somehow underrated. The actor has a great performance.
Chuck is semi-reclusive and believes that he suffers from electromagnetic hypersensitivity
I'm not talking dirty to you... you're not talking dirty to me. Lol love those lines.
I cant wait till you get deep into this series
8:27 good call, but funny thing is I saw BCS before Arrested Development and I couldn't agree more
This kinda makes me think she would like the shows Ozark and Fargo. They're kinda in the same vein as Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. Tons of character growth and amazing actors in those shows.
The faces of disbelieve when you saw the scams he did, amazingly entertaining! Love the reactions, they are such a joy. ❤😊
Chuck has what he calls Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity
Saul Goodman wouldn't take a lowball bribe to "lose" a case for a client on purpose because what Jessie and Walt wanted went against his client's best interest. Here he didn't even call it a bribe he called it a retainer.
Well, that.. but much more that he had no reason to trust Walt.
The Kettleman's are definitely not crafty. Craig is spineless and Betsy is totally driven by self-interest. Institutions get complacent and are easy to skim from, so people start to embezzle, realize it's super easy because nobody is paying attention, and then they get greedy and keep doing it until someone inevitably realizes "Oh shit, there's a lot of money missing"
You’ve never added up the ‘S All Good, Man pun because in Breaking Bad Saul says he used the name because being perceived as Jewish was advantageous in the law business either because the NMBA, his clients, or other attorneys wanted a Jewish, not an Irish, lawyer.
Kim Wexler is my favorite character in the entire BB universe.
She's a great character. Rhea Seehorn should have won an Emmy for her performance, right alongside Odenkirk and McKean.
Man you are in for a treat I just watched your Harry Potter movies reaction and now you are currently watching BCS omg what a perfect time to Sub to you
Based on how you reacted to Breaking Bad, I hope you'll continue mixing it up with something light and funny inbetween episodes of Better Call Saul. Sure, BCS is funny too, but as with BB it doesn't shy away from showing the horrific sides of things and play with your emotions.
Something like Austin Powers is a perfect mood medicine to alternate with. (Hoping the sequels are coming soon.)
You found my favorite series on Netflix! Yay...
Well done sweetheart. You are gonna enjoy Saul!
:))
When Jimmy was making the phone call to Nacho, did you notice (at 9:35) the "jpi" logo/tag on the payphone for "Jesse Pinkman"? -- it shows up in S04E07 of Breaking Bad.
I appreciate you and thank you for making content.
The writing only gets better from here.
Kim looks so pretty in this
Kim is my most favorite character in this universe, then Mike
