Better Call Saul Just like it's Predecessor Breaking Bad, Has a great opening episode. A Solid Way to start a Tv Series.

The Cold Opening of Gene is Just So Depressing, Sad and It reminds you of how lonely he is. Also The Idea of giving Gene sequence at the beginning is great. Besides It straight away brings attention to the audience.

Introducing Jimmy was also perfectly done. A Down to earth lawyer who works as a public defender to survive. The courthouse scene was so interesting to see.

The Fact that they decided to show Mike in the first episode was good. The addition of the Kettlemans brings so fun to this show. Also It shows how desperate Jimmy is to find a new client.

The Entirety of HHM sequence was brilliant and it gave us two Awesome new characters such as Kim and Howard.

My Favourite shot of this episode might be that shot when Jimmy was in anguish at the parking lot and Kim was waiting outside while smoking. It's So Crazy to think that this shot tells us nothing about Their relationship yet shows us a lot about them. It's Simply great.

Jimmy's Elder brother Chuck who is a partner of HHM adds another layer to this show. I Love their first Conversation in this episode. It's So Intense even in the first episode.

And the Whole Scam with the twin brother going wrong and lead back to the craziest salamanca, Tuco was just chef's kiss.

The Episode was full of beautiful and innovative shot and awesome writing. Just cannot praise more to the creators.

Uno was a great episode to begin this show and a near perfect pilot episode without a doubt.
