"The conflicts are so small as to be mundane,” says Todd VanDerWerff. "But the mundane is at the heart of season two's remarkable run. Where season one had Jimmy occasionally find his life intersecting with elements of Albuquerque's criminal underworld (familiar to those who had watched Breaking Bad), season two mostly confines him to the less immediately enthralling world of corporate law — and then focuses on stories that revolve around whether he would play by the rules of the New Mexico Bar Association or cut his own path.” PLUS: Better Call Saul has been 2 great shows squeezed into one, Kim Wexler (http://www.esquire.com/entertainment/tv/news/a44079/better-call-saul-season-two-recap/) was this season’s most fascinating character, Bob Odenkirk (http://www.ew.com/article/2016/04/18/better-call-saul-season-2-finale-bob-odenkirk-klick-chuck) reacts tot the season finale, Michael McKean on the sibling rivalry, and Better Call Saul has become dull with its repetitive storytelling (http://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2016/04/better-call-saul-season-2-finale/478839/).
