Better Call Saul’s Season 4 premiere doesn’t air on AMC until August 6th, but those in attendance at SDCC got a sneak preview of it on Thursday, July 19th. The following is a non-spoiler review.
Obviously though, there are spoilers for the events in the Season 3 finale, “Lantern.”
It should come as no surprise that Better Call Saul’s Season 4 opener, “Smoke,” is sublimely subdued. The Breaking Bad-verse, long ago, excelled at the craft at filling time and space with artfully detailed moments of contemplative quiet. “Smoke” picks things up right where Season 3 left off and drops a heavy load on Jimmy McGill’s lap, right at a moment in his life when he’s both optimistic about new career ventures and content in being Kim’s shoulder to lean on during her recovery.
