Spooning out story at a time when many shows race through it, the AMC dramedy continues to operate on the breezy two-tier track it achieved in the second half of season one, following attorney Jimmy McGill on his descent to the dark side, and former cop Mike Ehrmantraut on his parallel, occasionally intersecting course. Jimmy pulls his junk heap of a auto up to the nail salon where he operates his law practice, gets out and collects his mail. Fans had been expecting Jimmy to Saul transformation in the first season were disappointed when Jimmy ends up vowing to Mike (Jonathan Banks) that he will do the right thing and go down the right path. But while it’s true that their Breaking Bad deal was lucrative for both AMC and Netflix, it’s unclear whether Saul has a shot at repeating that success given how much TV has changed in the few short years since Breaking Bad was in its prime. The moment Jimmy becomes Saul Goodman, we are essentially nearing “Breaking Bad” territory, so, instead of jumping the gun, viewers should sit back and enjoy the ride.

A new trailer of “Better Call Saul” Season 2 has been released by Sony Pictures Entertainment. The camera angle, the color pallet, is all similar to the first season and that to Breaking Bad. In another scene Jimmy can seen saying “Where and when”. In Season 2, Odenkirk paints Saul as a man caught, not between money and integrity – his new job offer means he can be rich and lead a straight and narrow life, should he chose – but between doing what is right and doing what he loves. This is not the Jimmy we saw at the beginning of Season 1. Peter Gould and Vince Gilligan try to work out more when it comes to the characters.
