Axe and Grind

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.

I absolutely loved the episode btw. A lot of people will compain about it how the show is slow (which isn't true) but it's important to establish something so that the pay off will seem reasonable and not rushed. Most of the TV shows suffer from being rushed and seriously If you want to check something fast paced check Game of thrones Season 8, where everything is fast paced but nothing makes sense.

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.

Great debut directing episode by Giancarlo Esposito. Not much to say other than it's a really good episode with much to think about until next week when it's D-Day. I can feel that the end is near...

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.
