Better Call Saul 5x08 Full Reaction
the edited one is exporting, it should be done in about 2 hours, if you're curious about the review it's mostly us being shocked and saying how incredible this episode was

It's an absolute farce that this show has yet to win an Emmy. Add to that Rhea Seehorn has never even been nominated for Best Supporting Actress. People can say awards are meaningless all they want but it still irks me that the creatives who have worked on this show have not been rewarded anywhere near adequately. It just boggles my mind after seeing episodes like these and the performances all the actors provide. Very much looking forward to next week's reaction of Bad Choice Road!
It's actually criminal that Rhea hasn't been nominated, as @Camzeee wrote - her character is literally the best written female character in TV history - and her acting in that role is absolutely superb. Her acting in the final two episodes of Season 5 for example (which I won't go into details due to spoilers as we're up to 08) - is absolutely bloody good!
I am curious, how many people here prefer the Better Call Saul series over Breaking Bad? Breaking Bad is an absolute gem, but I'm now wondering wherever or not I should recommend first time viewers to Breaking Bad first or Better Call Saul - both these shows are beautiful. The initial discussion of Better Call Saul being a spin-off had doubts, now I feel it has surpassed the original series. Thoughts anyone?
It has, for me.
The Esteem may not have had the same impact as the RV but it served its purpose. Hail Fellow Well Met.
Vince Gilligan directed the hell out of that episode. Beautiful work.
btw when I was watching the last reaction vid a few days ago, my son walked up and asked "Are you watching those crying girls again?" lmao!
LOL. I need it as fanart
It makes no sense for Gus to call the ambush, because he actually wants Lalo out of prison. That's why Mike came up with all that extra "evidence" so the judge would allow Lalo to get out on bail. Someone else planned this ambush. Gus wanted everything to go smoothly so he sent Mike to keep an eye on things. (or maybe Mike went on his own? idk)
We saw the hitmen being organized at the very opening scene (I have a job for you) that call that was made after the Twins picked up the money - though we know next episode Gus has an opinion elsewhere on that (which I'll keep quiet for this week)
this episode was directed by Vince Gilligan. He actually was only in the writers room of the show the first 3 seasons, Peter Gould has actually been the main showrunner of the show. After directing this episode he said he would return to the writers room for the final season.
Damn Gould has been doing great work then, even more excited now for season 6.
The girls have most likely watched 5x09 by now, and now it just has to be edited. I cannot express just how excited I've been for their reaction to 5x09 since I first discovered that they'd be watching Better Call Saul... Wednesday can't come soon enough!!
My favorite Kim scene is in that episode
Yusss I was waiting for this, got my snacks ready
