A critical analysis of Better Call Saul's third season, arguing that it lacks the urgency and compelling storylines of its predecessor, Breaking Bad. The article highlights the show's slow pacing and lack of high-stakes drama, comparing it unfavorably to the explosive events that defined Breaking Bad's early seasons.

We’re now three episodes into the third season of Breaking Bad spinoff Better Call Saul . Be honest with yourself, were you aware it was back on Netflix? Were you even aware that it’s gone to third season? When Better Call Saul was first announced, it was done so with great expectations and fanfare.

So far, all that’s happened in Better Call Saul is Chuck and Jimmy / Saul have argued over ethics in law, Chuck taped a conversation without his knowledge, and now - as of the third episode of the third season - Jimmy’s looking at possible disbarment. The only saving grace of Better Call Saul is Jonathan Banks’ masterful performance as Mike Ehrmantraut, and further underlines why Saul Goodman was the wrong character to get a spinoff in the first place.
