Connecting the dots - Breaking Bad !
3 August 2022
For those who underestimate the importance of this episode, especially those with 1 star reviews, this episode plays a key role in connecting two worlds. It is not just fan service. First of all, this review contains no spoilers. Second, Imagine where someone starts by watching Better Call Saul first, up until S06E09 "Fun & Games", then of course it would be about time they started watching Breaking Bad and then FINISHING it. After that, comes this beautiful Black & White epilogue which hints that the ending for Gene is definitely not gonna be good.

This episode pieces everything together. Remember that Better Call Saul is in no way tightly related with Breaking Bad, in other words, it works as a standalone series and not only just a prequel. So, someone who has never watched Breaking Bad, might enjoy this series even more.

The episode also showcases a beautiful work of art when it comes to dialogue, chapter succession, transitions, and Jimmy getting his final closure with the characters who were close to him the most. We realize Gene is left alone, hence the black and white, and has nothing else to do other than conning people and going back to his nature, Slippin' Jimmy.

If you think this episode is empty, then you're watching the show just for the Adrenaline kicks, which means this show isn't really for you.

Definitely a Ten out of Ten.
