Apple TV: “Breaking Bad,” Season 6, Part 2

Can we agree that Season 6, Part 2 of “Better Call Saul” offers some of the best-written television since “The Americans”? If you are among those unfortunate souls who haven’t been watching it, or you’re a fan but you’re not yet caught up to Season 6, Part 2, please stop reading this post right now because it has more spoiler alerts that a NYT movie review.

Plot update: Six years after the drug cartels of BCS have vanished into oblivion, we find Saul hiding out in Omaha, living as “Gene,” a humble manager of a Cinnabon franchise. One day, he is recognized by Jeffie (Pat Healy), a local cabbie, as the sleazy lawyer from Albuquerque. To quell further suspicion, he gains the confidence of Jeffie’s mother (Carol Burnett) and in Saul Goodman fashion, gets both Jeffie and his brother involved in a scheme to rob wealthy men in town.

The finale features some of the most memorable characters we’ve seen over BCS’ six seasons as well as several from Breaking Bad. These include Walter White (Bryan Cranston), Jessie (Aaron Paul), Mike (Jonathan Banks), Jimmy’s brother Chuck (Michael McKean) and in a performance that is one for the ages, Kim Wexler (Rhea Seehorn).

Even the way Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould have filmed S6, Part 2 is unique: the black-and-white footage represents the present (Saul’s colorless life in Nebraska), while the color is limited to flashbacks to Saul’s cheesy existence in New Mexico when he was flying high as a crooked ambulance-chasing lawyer.

I was never a big fan of MASH or Seinfeld. But I never finished watching one episode of BCS where I was at a loss for any thoughts except how the hell did they do that. Yes, people, if you haven’t done so already, better watch Saul.
