Better Call Saul is like Breaking Bad equipped with a silencer. It’s one of the quietest shows to emerge over the past decade of television, despite being nominally about the most loudmouthed character in creators Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould’s universe. If you track main character Ignacio “Nacho” Varga through the two-episode season premiere, in fact, I think he utters under a dozen words total. I’ve sung the praises of actor Michael Mando in this respect many times before, but I don’t care—the way he commands the screen with nothing but his big brown eyes demands it.

I’ll be covering the final season of Better Call Saul for my Patreon, starting with my review of the two-part season premiere.
