Better Call Saul’s second episode, “Mijo” is reviewed. Saul has a gift…and it’s not pretty, but it’s what he’s got to offer the world. How did an attorney who works almost exclusively with shady characters get there, and did he try to get somewhere else? Tuco is shown to be the man before he reached terrifying meth-lord heights in Breaking Bad. Bob Odenkirk plays the title role with a somewhat unexpected subtlety and greatness– what do you think of his portrayal?
Ben Mankiewicz (Turner Classic Movies), Alonso Duralde (TheWrap, Linoleum Knife), Robert Abele (Los Angeles Times Movie Reviews), and Brett Erlich (PopTrigger) discuss Better Call Saul, S1E2, “Mijo.”
