Better Saul Call is intentionally a funnier show than its predecessor, Breaking Bad. That doesn’t make it a comedy, exactly, but the sex toilet scene might be the most hilarious scene on television this year (it’s either that, or every line from Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt). So, naturally, Saul has a really good season one gag reel, especially if you like things falling down. Also, swearing.
There’s a lot of swearing, most of which didn’t make the final cut because of rules against saying the dreaded f-word. Breaking Bad used it a lot, but only once per season was it unedited; same with Saul, when Jimmy calls Howard a “lying, miserable pigf*cker” (it was muted by AMC for some, but not all). If Better Call Saul was nothing but Bob Odenkirk insulting people while random set decorations fell down, it would still be one of my favorite shows.
I might even like it more, and I like it A LOT.
