Wine and Roses

Pretty darn good 2 part opener. I really don't feel the hate for Hamlin for the lengths that Saul and Kim are going to, but it is entertaining. I kind of feel bad for him, he just is what he is, rich kid with a rich job. A little too much with the Cartel side of the story and not enough on Saul and Kim, especially considering we know the end results of the minor feud between Gus and the Salamanca's. Still well worth watching.

Usually the first few episodes of the season builds a story slowly. However this one is quickly building towards big stories. Kim and Slipping Jimmy quickly set their game up against Howard. Nacho, Gus, Hector, Lalo side of the story is with thrilling as always. Well it's difficult to write a review without spolilers. But I am even enduring the tons of commercials of live TV for the sake of Saul Goodman.

Great opener, tension building and quiet. A build up for what's to come like the silence before a storm. This season's going to be great, characters are moving like pieces on a game board.

8.9/10.

Amazing start to an amazing show. It's so beautiful to see how far this show has come. Everything leading up to this. The black & white opening wrapping everything up a bit more TIGHT and just watching this episode as a whole was amazing. The theme playing after the starting scene just brings back memories back when I watched Uno for the first time in 2015. With that being said this show turns up the nob a lot more, I feel it's on maximum overdrive from here on out, everyone's fates are going to be at stake, Saul and Kim's journey seems to be evolving a lot in this episode as well, obviously there are a few characters that we know what will happen with, but in this story before breaking bad we don't.... Even if we do know their story in the breaking bad universe.

Well, what can I say. It's back and it's as good as ever. Cinematography, music, acting, direction. The clearly aren't holding back on this season. I'm quite excited for the next episodes.
