Lucky Hank (2023)
Bob Odenkirk is the best part of the show
First, the good: Bob Odenkirk nails the role as Hank, Diedrich Bader plays a decent supporting role as Tony, and Kyle McLaughlin is good as Dickie Pope.
The bad: everything else. The show suffers from poor writing and often really subpar acting. I love good satire, but this show is not satire; it's just unfunny. I found myself not caring about anyone but Hank since the supporting characters were not that interesting or likable.
I gave it a shot. I watched the entire first season, but the laughs never came. Odenkirk out-acts everyone, and it's my hope that he'll be cast in a series that really showcases his talents and is bolstered by better quality writing.
Better Call Saul: Saul Gone (2022)
A perfect ending to a perfect show
What a phenomenal ending! Jimmy finally sheds his "Saul Goodman" persona and reclaims his name. The courtroom catharsis is something I've been wanting to see for so long, and Bob Odenkirk delivered the performance flawlessly. And speaking of flawless, Rhea Seehorn as Kim Wexler is just top-level acting. If she and Odenkirk don't win Emmys, it will be a crime against humanity! The final meeting between Kim and Jimmy gives McWexler fans what they've been hoping for: just that-hope. In a black and white world, the spark of their cigarette is in color. The spark between Kim and Jimmy is relit. What a fantastic ending for hopeless romantics, and what a perfect ending to BCS and the entire BB/BCS universe!

I hate that I have to give this episode a 10
It was the most depressing episode of the entire series for me. They essentially "killed" both Kim Wexler and Jimmy McGill. They're both living out their own personal versions of Hell on Earth, and it is a slog to get through emotionally. With that being said, it is the most beautifully tragic thing I've ever watched. Rhea Seehorn and Bob Odenkirk deserve all the awards for their performances. Both of them are at the top of their games as actors, and Vince Gilligan once again shows why he's a master of his craft. It's a phenomenal effort, but it will rip your heart to pieces.
Better Call Saul: Nippy (2022)
Like watching a Coen brothers film
This episode will be divisive because it's so different from any other one we've seen thus far. That being said, I loved every bit of it. Bob Odenkirk was phenomenal, the entire "plot" involving Jeff and the Cinnabon-loving security guard was nerve-wracking, and Carol Burnett was wonderful as the sweet and sassy Marion. Full of dark humor and that irresistible Jimmy/Gene charm, it was the perfect episode to watch after the heartbreaking events of S6E9. Hope you enjoy it!

Pain.
Phenomenal acting, especially from Rhea Seehorn (Kim Wexler) and Bob Odenkirk (Jimmy McGill/Saul Goodman). An absolutely heartbreaking episode. McWexler fans, you have been warned.
Better Call Saul Presents: Slippin' Jimmy (2022)
From the desk of Howard "Howie Owie" Hamlin
Wanna know what I believe? I believe AMC is way out of its depth in this matter. So the next time these soulless corporate ghouls want to present a pile of detritus they slapped together in an attempt to profit off the BB/BCS fandom, they are welcome to keep it to themselves. Because we don't care!
