It is actually amazing what he (and Gilligan of course) made with BCS. You would think it is just a lighthearted spinoff but they made the whole character arc even more engaging and complex than Walter White. Whether the scene is more comedic, dramatic, emotional or suspenseful Bob kills it every time.

[@supertoyg]

Technically speaking, Breaking Bad as a whole was likely easier to write than BCS. BB is mostly a bang-bang crime story where the central character has an interesting development arc, most of which happens in the first two seasons (unsurprisingly the less popular ones - it got popular when they added more bang-bang). Whereas BCS is a series of character studies that slowly evolve into a crime story, almost as an accessory, an afterthought. People will remember BB but BCS is the real masterpiece, and I hope they manage to finish it once Odenkirk gets well.

@@WeTheMajority I'm realising now they have a lot on common. Very similar careers, starting as classic sketch comedians and later being a cast in a fantastic show that slowly demands a much more dramatic side, and they did it successfully. Aaron Paul and David Cross are very important in both of their profesional lives. They also has appeared in a lot of the same projects (and I like them both a lot)

[@tommyt1971]

I'll never forget how hard I laughed at Saul's first scene in the series when he's talking to Badger. Couldn't stop laughing for about 10 mins and missed a lot of the dialog after it.

Both Bob and Rhea Seehorn really are amazing and deserve so much recognition.

As basic as you might imagine the role of a sleezy lawyer, his character as Saul Goodman was incredibly likable and unique, he became one of my favorite roles in the Breaking Bad world, you truly see it in Better Call Saul.

[@SportsFan0027]

This guy deserves an Emmy. Jimmy McGill/Saul Goodman/Gene is one of the most complex & phenomenal characters ever & Bobby Odenkirk absolutely brings him to life. He took Breaking Bad up a notch & that’s saying something coz it was phenomenal even before he came in.
