Better Call Saul - Season 05 [DVD]

Great Dvd played perfectly. Really happy with this purchase.

Great series, rewatching the whole series at the minute

A prequel to the Breaking Bad franchise with a combination of humour & tension. I didn't like the ludicrous "allergy to electricity" of one of the central characters. Bob Odenkirk & Jonathan Banks are excellent, though. Well defined characters & perfectly paced.

Over the period of the previous four series of Better Call Saul we have seen the character of Jimmy McGill's behaviour as a lawyer move from questionable to unethical and now having regained his licence to practice law under the name of Saul Goodman he begins the journey to downright illegal activities by getting involved with the Salamanca Cartel. in addition to his slightly dubious methods to attract new clients with his "50% Off" schemes he comes into contact with Lalo Salamanca and is induced into representing him on a murder charge and in particular with arranging bail which involves a car trip to Mexico and which proves to be more tortuous and a risk to his life than ever envisaged. On the personal side his long-standing relationship with Kim Wexler deepens whilst she juggles work responsibilities for the Mesa Verde Bank with her commitment to doing pro bono work. In the meantime Mike Ehrmantraut is having his own problems following the events depicted in Season 4 concerning the construction of Gus Fring's super meth lab. During the course of Season 5 we meet DEA Agent Hank Shrader (Walter White's brother-in-law from Breaking Bad) and also Lalo's cousins Leonel and Mario Salamanca the taciturn and ruthless enforcers for the cartel with their distinctive winkle-picker hand tooled Mexican boots (a delight in themselves) as well as other cartel members familiar from earlier episodes. I will refrain from mentioning any specific plot developments for obvious reasons apart from saying that Kim reveals unsuspected nerves of steel when confronted by Lalo who is interrogating Jimmy about the events surrounding his collecting the bail money. It is a sign of supreme confidence in the production of this show that an entire episode can be founded on the basis of the dropping by Jimmy of an ice cream cone on the sidewalk which slowly disappears over a period of time whilst it is consumed by an increasing number of red ants ! Also the now well -established routine of opening the Series with a black and white mini-drama featuring Jimmy in his post Breaking Bad persona of Gene Takavic this time around runs for over 10mins and concerns his cover being blown leading to a cliff-hanger ending of it's own as he decides to deal with the threat himself rather than rely on those who provided his new identity in the first place. The subtle delights of Better Call Saul continue to provide rich entertainment for the viewer and there isn't a single wasted moment in the ten episodes comprising Series 5. I must confess to a degree of envy for any newcomers to this show for the riches they are about to enjoy - there are very few programmes about just now of this calibre and dare one say it - does Better Call Saul in fact outstrip it's source material Breaking Bad ? I'm sure a case can easily be made that it does. Audio : English / German / Italian and Spanish Subtitles : English (Hard of Hearing) / German / Italian and Spanish Extras : Cast and Crew commentaries on all episodes / Gag Reel / Commercials and Training Videos / Crystal Balls. Extras exclusive to the Blu Ray Edition : Deleted Scenes / Tell Me Again / The Good The Bags and The Ugly / "Bagman" - The Ambush / "Bagman" - The Cannon Roll / The Effects For This !

I just really wish the box would've had an outside cover and the discs could have had some art :( !!!!

I really enjoyed Breaking Bad and thought this series Better Call Saul might be just as good. It isn't. It's better. Love this underrated actors work. The build up from Jimmy into Saul and how he became entwinned with the Drug Barons is brilliant. It answers all the questions. The little flashbacks all fit into the series as the seasons progress. Now on Season 5 with one to go. I shall miss Jimmy McGill....

not to be missed, shame it didn't run for longer

An excellent series.Have numbers 1 to 5 now. Final number 6 episode my next purchase. If you’ve enjoyed Breaking Bad this is a related must watch. Highly recommended.

Muy buena seria, recomendada. El DVD/Blu Ray set, no contiene doblaje ni subtítulos en español. Me extraña porque todas las demás temporadas en blue ray y dvd si cuentan con el doblaje y subtítulos en español.

ネットフレックスでも観てるけど最高峰です 早くコロナが落ち着くよう祈ってます。次が見たいから

Uma das melhores séries de televisão da atualidade, e em muitos aspectos, até mais incrível do que Breaking Bad, se é que isso é possível! É só uma pena que essa versão não tenha legendas em Português, enquanto as quatro anteriores possuem. No mais, perfeita em todos os sentidos, principalmente com relação ao elenco. Recomendadíssima para quem gosta de qualidade.

Each season unfolds the gradually fall from grace of Saul Goodman. This is one of the better quality offerings on television these days. I suggest those who have not watched this before should start with season one. I binged watched two or three episodes at a time. Great viewing!

Great series that the wife n I enjoyed watching and it was delivered in great condition. I'm happy with this dvd set
