The movie drops you right back into the aftermath of the finale: Jesse tears away from Jack Welker\u2019s Brotherhood compound in Todd Alquist\u2019s El Camino and scrambles to leave New Mexico before the police, or anyone still left who wants him dead, can find him. Vince Gilligan threads in flashbacks, Jane Margolis among them, and uses them to shape the film around trauma, guilt, survival<\/strong>, and the question of whether Jesse can still choose some kind of future.<\/p>\n\n

It isn\u2019t just fan service, either. The film moves like a lean neo-Western thriller, carried by Gilligan\u2019s controlled direction, the same visual precision that defined Breaking Bad, and a performance from Aaron Paul that critics singled out for good reason. He plays Jesse as deeply wrecked, but not finished. The Television Academy also gave the movie an Emmy nomination<\/strong> for Outstanding Television Movie.<\/p>\n\n

If you\u2019ve finished Breaking Bad or Better Call Saul<\/a>, it\u2019s worth your time. I think Gilligan made the right call with the more compassionate ending, because it gives Jesse real closure without dragging Walter White back into the center of things, unlike an earlier draft that Vince Gilligan has said would have sent Jesse to jail.<\/p>\n\n

You can stream it on Netflix, where it drew 6.5 million<\/strong> U.S. viewers in its first three days, according to Nielsen, and reached 25 million households in its first week, according to Netflix. As of early 2024, Vince Gilligan and Bryan Cranston have said no official plans to continue the story.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
