To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Better Call Saul

The plot-building is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of cinematography most of the shots will go over a typical viewer’s head. There’s also Saul’s hedonistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation – his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these shots, to realize that they’re not just 5 minutes of Gus dressing himself – they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who prefer Breaking Bad truly ARE idiots – of course they wouldn’t appreciate, for instance, the character development in Michelle MacLaren’s masterpiece of an episode “Nippy,” which itself is a cryptic reference to Peck’s American children’s tale The Adventures of Mabel. I’m smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Vince Gilligan’s genius unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools… how I pity them. 😂 And yes by the way, I DO have a Kim Wexler feet tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It’s for the ladies’ eyes only – and even they have to demonstrate that they’re within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.
