TV: Better Call Saul

[VinylGuy]

AV Club knows what's good.
The best TV performances of 2020: https://tv.avclub.com/the-best-tv-perfo ... /slides/24
They separate Rhea Seehorn even above all the other great performances of the year, giving her and her alone the designation "Hall of Famer".

At this point, Rhea Seehorn’s missing Emmy for her work on Better Call Saul is less a foolish oversight than it is a miscarriage of justice akin to The Wire’s lack of Best Drama nods, or Lauren Graham’s missing Emmy nomination for her work on Gilmore Girls (don’t even get us started on Kelly Bishop). Is there anyone who’s watched the past five straight seasons of Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould’s sun-baked drama and, at the end of every one, not thought to themselves, “Wow, that actor playing Kim Wexler deserves some sort of award”? With each passing year, Seehorn has peeled back the layers of her sharp, calculating character, exposing both the thrill-addict and the vulnerable romantic buried deep below the confident and self-possessed exterior. She consistently elevates the already-strong material, whether it’s Kim yet again rebuking Bob Odenkirk’s Jimmy McGill for his carelessness while secretly embracing her own more reckless side, or the lawyer letting an episodes-long emotional slow burn come to a boil and exploding at her former mentor Howard Hamlin (Patrick Fabian). Seehorn’s nuanced portrayal always suggests conflicting impulses vying for dominance; it’s a performance that rewards close viewing, time and again. Shouldn’t Seehorn be rewarded in turn?

fuck yeah. She is just too good for that emmy crap.

So glad they've been filming for the past couple of weeks! BCS has surpassed Breaking Bad as my favorite show. I ended up getting Season 5 from Amazon pretty cheap. Can't wait to see the last season - and the statuses of Lalo, Nacho & Kim. But there's so much more that sets up BrBa to come. Hopefully we'll get to see Tuco & Skinny Pete meet in jail. Kim is the absolute best

Spoiler: show

I am wondering if Kim sent that dude to find Gene or if he was sent from someone like Jesse? Whatever the case, stoked for the Fall or next year

Also, watching BCS really makes me hate Walt a tad more for destroying Gus' Empire

I need this so hard it broke my heart to find its not coming this year

[Bammer]

I don’t think I have watched any other show in real time since the last BCS episode.

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Finished season 5. Very good, not sure if best. The desert episode was incredible. Some biblical shit there.
