'Better Call Saul' season 4 episode 2: The biggest takeaways from 'Breathe'
After a gap of 14-odd months, 'Better Call Saul' returned for its fourth season last week. Creators Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould have maintained the 'Breaking Bad' spin-off's consistently high standards over each of its past three seasons — the show is currently one of the most watched and most critically-acclaimed on television — and all signs indicated that the upcoming season would be anything but disappointing. The creators had previously teased the season would incorporate quite a few elements from its predecessor and that episodes would be getting 'darker and richer,' and the premiere held true to that claim.
The first episode, 'Smoke', was quite befitting for the premiere of a season where 'the overlap between 'Better Call Saul' and 'Breaking Bad' would be getting bigger and bigger,' with Jimmy's (Bob Odenkirk) transformation into Saul Goodman all but imminent.
