Anyone thats familiar with the phrase Call Saul will be glued to their T.V’s tonight at 10 PM on the cable channel AMC. A long awaited look back into the world of Breaking Bad.
For anyone to understand whats being expected, you have to start with the origin of the spin off which is the multi award winning T.V show Breaking Back.
It’s the story of Walter White Also known as Heisenberg”, a chemistry high school teacher finding out he has cancer, and is in desperate need of money to support his cancer treatments as well as his family if he dies. He see’s the finical potential in a former student Jesse Pinkman who is also a crystal meth dealer.
The arrangement starts off with Walter White making the meth and Jesse selling it. With Walter White knowledge of chemistry and Jessie Pinkman’s street smarts, they become the top dealer in meth which draws a lot of unwanted attention.
While killing other drug dealers and hiding the drug life from their families and the DEA, the two desperate characters call on Saul. A shady lawyer that helps the both of them hide their money, as well as helps them out of a couple of dangerous situations.
Saul even helped Walter White with a new identity when everything started to falling apart. With many of the character dying within the show, including the shows start Walter White, one of the many people to survive was Saul.
When the show concluded, many fans of the show were upset that it came to a end, and wanted more Breaking Bad.
Writers like myself wanted more, but felt bitter sweet about the idea of extending the series. We would love to see more of Walter White and Jessie pinkman, but it would compromise the stories structure. Forcing more out of the story just for our selfish pleasure, but with the spin off show “Call Saul”, it will bring us back into the world of Breaking Bad. This will give fans more story without ruining to one we know. Personally I can’t wait to watch. Rest in peace Walter White, Hello Saul.
