Hello Hive. Posting here is feeling like such a privilege to me. I’m in self-isolation due to the ongoing situations. So posting here is making up for all the boring things I've been doing for the day.

I feel It's like I'm a part of a revolution. Until this community is fully moved to this blockchain ill post on both chains. Wherever this community goes, I follow. The support I’ve found here is mesmerizing. And I hope that I can continue contributing to this community and the larger hive community with all the effort I can muster up.

Those of who are in lockdown, quarantine or isolation, this is the perfect time to follow up to the latest best shows worth your time. As I write reviews of sorts, this falls upon me to provide you with contents of value. So I bring you a
review of the show of my choice, Better Call Saul.

The first show that got me hooked on tv shows is Breaking Bad. It was 2013. It was summer vacation and my friends got me into binge-watching shows. I did not like the idea of watching something with that many parts and for that long. I always kept it simple and watched only and lots of movies.

It was almost the end of summer vacation and I went through the queue of my watchlist pretty fast and had nothing to watch. A friend suggested me out of pity to watch two Shows. Spartacus and Breaking Bad. To me, at that time, Spartacus was phenomenal. The violence and nudity got me through the first two seasons like cutting butter. The third season was still ongoing. So I thought ill binge watch that too. Now came the time for the second show. And ooh boy was I up for a treat.

I felt disconnected while watching the first season. It was out of proportions and it felt forced at times. But I thought that if I don’t finish it, I’ll have nothing to talk about with my friends when school opens. And everybody watched it that summer. Because that year was the show's finale. After three days later when I finished it, I couldn’t wait for the 5th season to drop. I liked it so much I watched it twice that year. Once again after the season finale dropped.

Those were some beautiful golden nostalgic days. Not so many things to worry about, no such viruses which will kill you and you will have nothing much to do about it.

The other spinoff of BB-Breaking Bad is BCS-Better Call Saul. Bob Odenkirk returns as Jimmy McGill or Saul Goodman. His character was so unique and fan favorite that the creator of BB gave him his show.

To some, BCS might not be able to fill BBs Shoes. But it has an equal amount of depth compared to BB. Many returning characters make this a jolly old memory trip as BB. I too think that this show is lacking many things. Personally, the void that has been created by the death of Walter White will never be fulfilled. And in comparison, this show is even slower paced. Despite all that, if you decide to think of it as a stand-alone show with hints and Easter Eggs from the prior one you'll like it if it fits your choice.

The human psyche is full of random thoughts that the decisions taken by them become equally random. The sibling who once you took as a father figure might destroy the best possible future for you is the reason for such psyche. Jim McGill was such a soul who led a life of never hurting anybody. Just an occasional scam artist, trying to build a career in law entangles himself slowly in such a large mess that it created him an empire that he doesn't want and can't leave.

Gustavo “Gus” Fring, the somewhat resident antagonist of both shows, is the coldest minded and iconic criminal of a character you'll ever see in the history of television. I will write a separate review about Breaking Bad so I will not spoil the character for you here with too many picky details. But its most likely that if you are reading this post as the title piqued your interest, you know all about this character and you might’ve watched BB. So then too, I've nothing to tell you. But those of you who are here and never heard about any of the shows, I can only suggest you watch it. You’ll know what I'm talking about on your own.

The show is a mildly paced, resonating piece of art for the viewers of an acquired taste. If you like slow crime drama, you will like this too. Season 5 has dropped and the latest was episode 5. Go watch it. It will not be a waste of time.
