El Camino

So El Camino had me stoked from the announcement but i thought to myself, "will this just be a case of fan service?". Well yes & no. While watching it you feel as if it is a missing episode of Breaking Bad, we get flashbacks to Jesse's time in captivity mixed in with what he did right after the finale. While all of that is great it didn't really feel epic, it didn't feel needed, it just felt like well crafted fan service. By no means is this a negative review, it just shows the brilliance that Breaking Bad had, which was the slow burn. Cause this is a slow burn, there is tension but not the anxiety filled tension we had on the series that is until the Wild West scene, while watching that you begin to appreciate the first 90 minutes a hell of a lot more because this is fucking Breaking Bad! Then what do we get after that? The diner scene! It all comes flooding back like a clown in Derry as to why this is the best show on television. We follow Jesse on his path to peace & redemption and we see the trials & tribulations he endured, part character study part anti revenge film this is Vince Gilligan not making a cash in, but him giving us dessert. This is the film/show that i wanted Better Call Saul to be. Also rest in pace Robert Forster, such a timely death but what a film to go out on. If you were just a person that watched Breaking Bad to see what the fuss was about then you might not dig it, but if you loved the series then be the one that knocks and enjoy it. Yeah, bitch!
