Better watch Better Call Saul?

I’ve been skeptical of the wisdom of Breaking Bad supporting character Saul Goodman becoming the centerpiece of his own dramedy, fearing that it would land closer to AfterMASH (or, God help us, W*A*L*T*E*R) than Frasier in the spinoff pantheon. But the above trailer offers hope. More than hope — the potential for an engaging series, with an endearingly slimy central figure. It’ll be nice to see Bob Odenkirk front and center for a change, a deserved star turn in the eyes of all long-time Mr. Show devotees. That Michael McKean of Spinal Tap fame is part of the doings doesn’t hurt, either.
