T86 Seconds to the Sofa: In Praise of Better Call Saul’s SlownessBut Saul creators Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould are not satisfied to let this show be a companion piece. They understand that we’re all waiting for Saul Goodman to emerge, and they use that to enrich the story by making us feel the weight of the wait. In this respect, the Hummel collector’s descent down the stairs is a visual microcosm of the series’ preordained arc.I was just having an internal debate with myself on this subject the other day and I came to much the same conclusion, but Onion A.V.’s John Teti has expressed it so eloquently that this article deserves to be read.I totally agree that slowness is an important element that distinguishes Better Call Saul from Breaking Bad, which tended to compress time. -- source link
