Better Call Saul Table Read - Season 1 Episode 1 - Uno | With All The Main Cast 

It's a show; not a movie. But I agree.

I thought the exact same thing. All Odenkirks lines have emotion.

And the actor who plays Howard too, when the two were speaking, I was transported to the scene haha@@SpaceballsRVA

@@SpaceballsRVA i know this is 3 months late but since you were pedantic I can't not be. if the pictures move it's a movie.

@@meechthelittle I don't think I was being pedantic. It's a pretty big difference. The actors put a lot more work into this with it being a 6 season show versus a 2 hour movie. I think we at least owe them that credit. Heh.

I feel a similar way, although short of rewatching the entirety of BB I can’t fully articulate why I do and what the difference between them is. What do you think?

@@superclarendon8648 I think fundamentally Jimmy is more likable than Walt, which helps. Also the cinematography and "show, don't tell" storytelling was raised up a notch. For me also, it ended up being a tragic love story. Kim/Jimmy is just so interesting and flawed and toxic but also lovely. They're both psychologically rich texts!

I think it’s just the experience of Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould being even richer after Breaking Bad. After the already amazing show ended, they had a bunch of new experiences and a pretty much clean slate to put their extensive knowledge of filmmaking to good use. The cinematography and visual storytelling have gotten even better than they were prior. The new cast of characters bickered and fought less than Walt and Jesse, making them more likable, and Jimmy’s quippy nature kept every scene energetic and alive

@@superclarendon8648 I think it was more enjoyable because we knew Jimmy couldn't die, right? We knew he had a guaranteed exit at least until the last 4 episodes where we realize he could be in danger of losing his life. So it's an easier watch tension wise therefore more laid-back and enjoyable UNTIL the show completely captures tension in a bottle with Lalo, who's so damn good in this (Tony Dalton) you actually question briefly if he will kill Saul at times even though we know he can't. But we do have some expendable characters we never see in BB. So now we're invested into knowing what happens to Kim, Chuck, Nacho, Howard? Even Lalo? He's mentioned in BB but never seen. This show thrived off the familiarity of Saul, Mike, Gus, Hector, Tuco, Hank and Steve ect We got great characters back to round out their stories but got more great yet expendable characters to keep the tension on the show. In other words we got exactly what we wanted in El Camino but didn't get. More Breaking Bad. It also shows the writers have so much confidence from having a hit show in Breaking Bad that they know they're capable of just making the Universe that much richer and fleshed out.

@@TheDemonicPenguinI literally just rewatched all of BCS and BB and I feel the same way I think I enjoy it more just because the characters relationships feel like they hold so much more weight because we knew a lot of the cast couldn’t die so it’s kinda enjoy the journey even if you know the destination.

You follow the script not the scene especially when it is the very first episode and the writer has a better idea about the character than the actor

that could be one of the things that changes from script to set

@@briewhit1312 true

thats because actor showing no emotions. its old trick, when you show no emotions audience fiil up their emotions to the scene. in this scene you think saul needs to be depressed, so you see what you think.

@@ahmadelwan261 not really. the scene can change alot from the script. its never identical to how its written

Yeah. He’s actually pretty good!

And he gets to be Chuck? What a sick joke!

Why didnt chuck do chuck

@@jasper8290 he was busy probably

Better call Saul....

@@tA_aT287 ha ha...ha...

Chicanery!

Fun fact: the show to receive the most emmy nominations without winning any is Better Call Saul

@@kinggrimm2700the Emmy’s are so useless to me how could the best show ever (the wire) and a masterpiece in bcs have zero wins? It makes no sense

do you have examples?

I noticed one example: When the two twins try to scam Jimmy and he kicks one in the leg, in the table read he calls them “Sideshow Bobs”, but in the show he calls them “Starlight Express”

damn

Yeah it's Saul goodman

I love listening to them. :D

Through this video I'm slowly coming to the conclusion that this is my new rewatch. As I'm currently in season 2 with a first time watch with my wife. I love this show so much.

Imagine if they had recorded a table read of the episode "Plan and Execution" for example

@@MrJuuberi Yes! I just watched that episode yesterday.

It's the happiest ending this kind of story can have, honestly. It is such a bittersweet ending, but it feels so real and true and earned.

whaaaaaa

That’s weird I thought breaking bad ended 10 years ago

you mean started? but i dont think thats accurate

​@@maxshibanov818bajs

Dude... the show aired in Feb 2015.

It’s not the best or better than breaking bad but man bcs is a masterpiece in its own right. That’s for sure

They both make eachother great

yeah its a show about him

It really does feel like BCS is the bigger picture story, and Walter is just a random side character that shows up and completely destroys everything

​@bigchooch4434 and then it's picked apart clean. The ice cream jimmy drops on the sidewalk later on in the show is a great visual of the simple and emotionless dismantling of an empire once it's discarded.

What did Nobody have to do with Russia?

I'm surprised there's people who don't understand that actors sometimes have these things called prior commitments. Like an appointment with a specialist booked months before he even heard about this table read and would require a wait of a few more months to get back in.

​@@imvandenh bro chill

Definitely - I think the viewer falling under the spell weaved by Rhea Seehorn really draws you into the series. Kim Wexler is my all time favourite female role.

@@philhopkins3546 what spell? As soon as she started scamming to fulfill her kicks I began to dislike her. You have to be in a weird place to get such pleasure and satisfaction from screwing people over. The whole thing with Howard was absolutely disgusting and her confession way after the fact when there's no evidence to facilitate real consequences is not enough to redeem her. A good person who ended up doing awful things for selfish reasons. That is kind of the whole theme of the show though!

My bad. He was chillin at my place

​@mahboi08 is built diff.

It was the fluorescent lights

obviously he couldn't be present at the table read cause of all the electromagnetism around smh my head...
