Better Call Saul: Season Three

Several dramas have been so acclaimed since the turn of the century that many have talked of a new Golden Age of Television. In its first two seasons, "Better Call Saul" established itself as a series of similar caliber, and the third season was just as superb as its predecessors. This DVD set contains all ten episodes of Season Three that originally aired on AMC from April 2017 to June of that year. Jimmy McGill (Bob Odenkirk) continues his descent toward becoming Saul Goodman this season, and hears an early warning predicting a future reckoning one day. The relationship between Jimmy and his brother Chuck (Michael McKean) is still a central plot component—the differences between how Jimmy and Chuck reacted to their upbringing and early family situation come out further, and the season is not just a character study of Jimmy, but of Chuck to an extent, too. The parallel storyline with Mike (Jonathan Banks) and Gus (Giancarlo Esposito) continues as well. The show spawns characters so fascinating that I'd watch a spinoff centered around any one of several of them. While the story and writing make the show worthwhile in themselves, the cinematography and filming sequences are off the charts—Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould are geniuses in how they add to the dialogue and tell stories with unique camera angles and positions. As in the first two seasons, there are great scenes from the New Mexico outback. There are special features on this set describing the making of the show, commentary by producers, and a conversation between Odenkirk, Banks, and Rhea Seehorn. The season ends with a couple of big cliffhangers to the key plots, and fans have looked forward to the fourth season of "Better Call Saul" for more than a year—fortunately, that arrival is only days away.

Good series.

This is a very good show. If you liked breaking bad the TV show then you will like this show because this goes right along with it.

Great came fast disk and case in perfect shape and plays flawlessly.

The writers have done a great service by bringing to light the toxic relationship between Chuck and Jimmy. Chuck is jealous, selfish, competitive, manipulative, and malicious, but Jimmy doesn't see it. He lets himself be influenced by Chuck; he buys into Chuck's disparagement of him; and he doesn't see that Chuck's attitude is more about Chuck than it is about him. Jimmy may take ethical shortcuts, but Chuck is morally corrupt. However, all of the writing, acting, and production is great. Just a fantastic show. And I never watched Breaking Bad. I guess I will have to now.

great show

Wish I Loved it but no cigar.. Great background fgor BB and looks like next season could be great, I did love the last two episodes this season.

The writing and acting are great. I think both season 1 and season 2 can stand on their own as stories. What I find enjoyable in season 3 is we start seeing the overarching narrative and recognize how 1 and 2 fit into the Jimmy's history. Season 3 we start seeing more instability and more "Saul" in our hero Jimmy.

Excelente serie

da fan della serie principale Braking Bad, devo dire che questo prequel/spin-off è notevole(e azzardo superiore) .I personaggi sono molto curati e la storia fila che è un piacere, assolutamente consigliato a chi ha amato Saul Goodman, Mike e gli intrighi tra Salamanca e il Los Pollos Hermanos ...non dico di più per non spoilerare ;)

Attention les yeux, je trouve cette préquelle absolument jouissive, car le scénar est très très original, les plans superbes, léchés et très bien pensés. L'excitation de revoir breaking bad se manifeste très fortement ! Sur cette saison, on sent bien le rapprochement, car les personnages apparaissent petit à petit et tout est si bien construit que l'on se fond dans cette série drôle, intelligente et envoutante. Si vous aimez la qualité de travail et avez l'amour du cinéma, foncez avec Jimmy McGill en tête. Vous allez délirer.

Ich zähle "Breaking Bad" neben "Games of Thrones" zu den besten Serien überhaupt. Und "Better Call Saul" zähle auch dazu. Ich weiß nicht, Jimmy ist so ein sympathischer Charakter und sein A....loch von Bruder Chuck der ihn unterschwellig bekämpft ist wohl das fieseste was man sich nur vorstellen kann. Der Typ muss so einen Hass in sich rumtragen das ihm jedes Mittel recht ist um seinen Bruder aus dem Geschäft zu drängen und ein Berufsverbot zu erwirken. Das er einen Knall hat steht ohnehin außer Zweifel! Einfach nur toll die Serie!!!

Enjoyed this continuation of Better Call Saul. Can’t wait for the next DVD.
