He's this mastermind who single handly keeps the most dangerous cartel out of New Mexico and then decides an amateur is a great partner That partner makes Gus an absolute fortune and is about to die so will leave 0 loose ends Of all the things in the show that's really not much of a reach.

Yeah but Jesse is incidental to the test. Gus is clear that he wants nothing to do with him. The drop is structured so that the only question is if Walt can deliver good product on demand, and then when Gus decides to actually employ Walt there's no involvement of Jesse. --- https://imgur.com/gallery/dXDmJHw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75GL-BYZFfY <cite>Doe posted [p:973047848] in Breaking B...

It is but just one season of BCS does not top the entirety of BB even tho I never liked BB that much anyways, but the ebst of BCS comes deep into the series as we more udnerstand the main characters and their motivations which just one season is not going to do (much of) I do agree that it was less focused with the cartel stuff but my favorite scenes were never along with the cartel stuff (with some exceptions) it was the culmination of multiple threads that were stewing along seasons, like Jimmy scamming Chuck's insurance company or the guilt finally catching up to Kim at the bus for about 5 minutes and a soft elderly woman touch at the last second of it. --- "Warwick are you jungling" "No I'm standing by the wolves because I miss my family" <cite>orcus_snake posted [p:973047951] in Breaking B...

MrMelodramatic 04/24/23 3:45:47 PM #46:	BrBa is very good, but starts losing the plot when Gus is introduced. It never gets bad, but season 5 is totally skippable. BCS is better overall, although the Jimmy plots are ten times better than the cartel stuff. Better shows are Sopranos, first five seasons of X-Files, Adventure Time, The Wire.

Saul and Walt really felt like they had to lose or gain in Season 1 Then as the show went on they were physically in danger but other than that the drama just seemed less personal It just fell into the same trap that similar shows like Weeds, Ozark did. It started simple, and the story was simple. Mainly because they didn't know if it would hit. But as the shows gained more and more success, they constantly had to top the season before, so the storylines and situations had to get bigger and more involved. Like, a guy making meth in and RV for some small time sales is an easy story to tell, as is a widow becoming the local weed dealer, or a small time 3rd in line money launderer having to take control of the operation. But then you have to make the story bigger and grandiose.
