Co-creator of the TV series Peter Gould also recently shared to Yahoo that season 2 is "surprisingly good." He said the team behind the show cannot help but feel excited.
"Better Call Saul's" first season did so well that Forbes hailed it as the "Best TV Series of 2015." In his interview with Yahoo, Gould shared that the first season became such a success because of the writers. He shared that the success resulted from the writers' trust and patience in letting the characters, as well as the actors portraying these characters, assist in the storytelling.
"I think we really let the characters shape the story," says Gould, "That was just one of the pleasures of doing this kind of television: you can watch the scenes and learn about the characters from watching the actors. By doing that, we learned that there was a lot more to Chuck than we initially thought. We also learned that Jimmy, as played by Bob... None of us would be here if Bob hadn't said yes back in Season 2 of Breaking Bad when we offered him the role. If anybody else had been cast, I don't think we'd be talking right now about this. Bob has a vulnerability as Jimmy. This is a guy who can be heard. We went with that. I think that vulnerability is part of the reason why people take to him the way they do.," he explained.
