yeah kinda a common character type but really really well realised
Itās a prequel so they kinda do. Itās creating an arc, if anything.
think the actor was a really great fit
I loved how he wasnāt the typical incompetent cop though. He was a very real threat to Waltās wrongdoings.
Thereās a (mostly self-contained) episode in the first season of BCS that explains all of Mikeās back story and itās one of the best hours of telly Iāve seen
BCS explains mikeās backstory in a satisfactory way
We didnāt see anything approaching a full arc for Saul or Mike though.
the makers talked about this - he was deff just meant to be just a jock irritant for Walter early on
Fair enough but personally donāt need to though. All adds to the improbability of TV stuff for me when every character from a story has some mad history that led to them meeting at key moments, makes it hard for me to suspend my disbelief.
ah just his shitty heh-heh laugh is so perfect
was just thinking that
I thought exactly the same when they announced it fwiw. In execution itās spectacular though.
ooops nearly messed up at work
imagine working with someone called āHankā
Ok so. I think itās really good (mostly)
But I have no idea how the hell anyone has ever binge watched it. I basically stopped watching 2 years ago, halfway through season 4 because I found it quite draining and stressful to watch with all the big cliffhangers etc (also the last time I watched it was at a friendās in Amsterdam and it was an unhappy trip). Do intend to finish it but definitely need to be in a certain mood to watch it.
Also find Skylar extremely annoying in season 1 and 2. She has every right to be, butā¦ sheās still annoying.
I was very nearly named Hank. True story.
Heās not even the best fictional TV character Hank, mates
I watched it over a month or so after borrowing the DVDs from a friend, it was pretty brutal in parts. I was thankful for the silly episodes and some of the stuff that just focused on them making money and ended up dreading any scenes with Walt and Skyler which I guess was the point.
nah heās just a great character to play off Walter and highlight his anxiousness and superiority complex
actually had a professor called Hank
once sent him an email misspelling his name as āHenkā and in his reply he misspelt my name, also replacing the A with an E
