I have to admit, I had completely the wrong idea about Better Call Saul. I watched the first couple episodes when it came out, and it didn't hook me. I typically don't like prequels, and although I always found Saul entertaining, I certainly didn't need an origin story for him.
When I saw Mike (and Tuco), I thought it was just gimmick factors to associate the show more with Breaking Bad. Although I always loved Mike, I didn't care to see him shoehorned into anything. When I later heard and read online that Gustavo was appearing in BCS, I again groaned and thought ugh, gimmick.
I've been working from home often so finally got around to putting BCS on in the background, figured I'd might as well get caught up for El Camino. Well, let me just say this; I've never been more wrong, and thrilled about it. Even if you hate Saul's character, the Mike backstory Is worth it alone for season 1. The cinematography reminded me nicely of the gorgeously framed Breaking Bad shots, and the plot was totally organic. By the time we saw his Gus again, I was already psyched seeing every BB minor character, and none of it felt forced. I feel like an asshole for taking this long to come around, but thrilled I finally did.
