Better Call Saul continues June 12th with ‘Fall’ on AMC.
However, as any viewer of Better Call Saul can attest, the series is very much its own unique entity and the addition of Gus has only served to enhance story elements that were already present.
For some, the return of Fring this season could be seen as a cynical attempt by Better Call Saul to play on fans’ fond memories of Breaking Bad and take advantage of that show’s huge reputation.
Unlike Jimmy and Mike, who are attempting to live relatively law-abiding lives, the Better Call Saul version of Gus is very much a criminal when introduced, although he isn’t yet the mastermind viewers will remember faced off against Bryan Cranston.
