7 New TV Shows to Watch This Week: From ‘Better Call Saul’ to ‘Russian Doll’
thewrap.com“Better Call Saul”Monday, April 18 at 9 p.m., AMCIt’s been almost two years since the previous season of “Better Call Saul,” Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould’s sharp-as-a-knife prequel series to their beloved “Breaking Bad.” That’s a long time to wait, especially given that the show left off with Kim (Rhea Seehorn) inching towards the dark side. (Considering she never appears in “Breaking Bad,” we should consider this a very bad thing.) Quite frankly, after Bob Odenkirk’s health scare last year, we’re lucky the show is back at all – and that he is feeling okay!
A word of caution, though: you might want to re-watch season 5 before jumping into this new season, just to refresh yourself on the intricacies of the ongoing drug trade and the relationship between franchise heavy Gus Fring (Giancarlo Esposito) and Lalo Salamanca (Tony Dalton, who stole every scene he had in “Hawkeye”), amongst other things.
AMC has already revealed that Walter White (Bryan Cranston) and Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul) will be making an appearance this season, bringing the “Breaking Bad” continuum full circle.
Keep in mind that AMC is slicing the season in half; the first batch of episodes premiere this week (and ending on May 23) and the next batch won’t debut until July 11.
