Finally, after two years of waiting, we get the last season's premiere of one of, if not the best show ever, and it's good as ever.
This great first episode practically showed every (alive) character and what they're doing after the mayhem of the last season's finale.
First of all, the opening scene was top-notch, one of the best opening of this show and any show in general with its great cinematography, which it's just a given with this masterpiece of a show.
We see Nacho on the run and the fact that we still don't know how his fate is going to be makes his scenes so much more tense and stressful and Better Call Saul is a master at making a scene tense.
Then we have our good boy lawyer Saul with Kim - or should I say Kim alone - plotting against Howard, which I feel pity for ever since it was revealed that that C word Chuck was forcing him to be an arse to Jimmy. He's not a saint or anything, but you still do feel bad for him a little.
I read a very interesting comment on Youtube which was really true and I'm paraphrasing here: One of the most unexpected twists of this show, is that we all thought Kim is going to be Jimmy's moral compass and when she eventually leaves him, he'll become Saul Goodman, which would've been very Daenerys like, but instead we see that now Kim has become more Slippin' than Jimmy himself and breaking bad side by side him, and it's so natural that won't notice. And this first episode is a testament to that.
It's really interesting to see that now Jimmy has his doubts and maybe doesn't wanna go through with it and Kim has become kinda cold and doesn't care anymore.
Also, the whole scene with Jimmy in the golf club was amazing and hilarious at the same time and it was fun figuring out just wtf he was doing while watching it.
And what they had set up in this episode is probably gonna have some major consequences for Howard, and I really hope he doesn't get in too much trouble because how can you hate this guy?
We also have Mike having a conversation with Gus about Nacho and that has a big effect on the relationship between Mike and Nacho, as we see in that scene of Mike with his granddaughter. Which makes it interesting to see what's gonna happen next between these two great characters.
We also have some scenes with Lalo which, do I even need to talk about them or Lalo himself? Every time this guy is on the screen he steals the show, so I don't think there's a need to talk about his great scenes.
All in all, this was a great opener to the last season and I'm looking forward to the next great episodes they're bringing us, even though I'm a little sad that there's a one-month hiatus between the two parts.
