Axe and Grind

AMC+ is a thing. It releases at around midnight that Monday morning on AMC+ so people can watch it before it airs on TV. I don't know about other TV stations, but mine doesn't have AMC on it so I'm forced to watch this show on AMC+. But I loved the episode and I actually watched it so that's why I'm rating it.

I think some of you came to see the series just because of Walter and Jesse. If you started watching the series from season 6, I must say stop right now and do not hit the series any more and do not say filler. Drama for some of you means filler. I'm a fan of the Breaking Bad series. If you really can not stand this series, do not hit. The series grew from season to season, but the content of the drama did not change and remained stable.

A lot of people seem to be misunderstanding this whole season, calling it all filler just because it's not what they was expecting from the final season.

Just a reminder to all of you, this is not Breaking Bad so why are people all of a sudden expecting the same crazy stuff we got from that show when Better Call Saul has never been that type of show.

Bob Odenkirk even said in a interview before this season started that it's gonna be more of a slower and character development based season rather than a lot of flashiness.

This constant filler talk has me thinking you people didn't even watch the 1st few seasons of this show and that you only started watching this season because it's getting closer to that Breaking Bad timeline.

I'd rather this show have a slower final season and it wraps up nicely over it being really crazy and the ending being a mess. It's definitely slow but filler absolutely not and it's still better than majority of shows out there so people need to stop complaining.

This season has not delivered a single below great episode. This episode features great character development. Saul is getting closer to the Saul Goodman we knew in Breaking Bad and we get to see more personal and intimate moments with Kim and Mike. Those who say this is just a filler episode, what do you expect? We can't expect twists in every episode. This is a great episode with great character- and worldbuilding.

Better than last weeks but still a slow burner, a few more interesting moments in this episode between characters. A few nostalgic places coming into light just like we saw them in Breaking Bad.

We are almost at the mid season finale and things are starting to build up quite nicely. I may have detected a little foreshadowing in one of the episodes earlier scenes, it's interesting to think how this will play out for people like Kim. Lalo gains closer and closer, Sauls plan hits some snags and Howard's focus on Jimmy stays resilient. The arc of the series is starting to unfold.

8.6/10.
