People are now plotting their TV watching: Bob Odenkirk

"Breaking Bad" fans who are yet to watch "Better Call Saul", Bob Odenkirk gets you.

The 55-year-old actor, who plays Jimmy McGill aka Saul Goodman on the show, says there are so many good series that it has become difficult for people to choose their next one.

"People are plotting their TV watching because their are so many interesting shows that you have to make a plan for it," Odenkirk told PTI over phone from Los Angeles.

"I know there are people who have not watched 'Better Call Saul' and they are waiting to watch it once it is done. They are literally excited to watch it when it is over," he added.

Odenkirk agrees that this is the golden period of television but says it would be difficult to predict what the future holds because a few years ago nobody saw the explosion of streaming services.

The show's fourth season airs in India on every Tuesday at 12pm on Colors Infinity.

"We are all guessing... We don't know what is to come next because nobody predicted that this would even happen. But yes, there are too many great shows that you cannot do justice to... 'Fargo' has a cool idea where the story does not carry over to the next season. Maybe that's the future.

"But I believe a certain quality is lost in streaming -- the excitement of what is going to happen next. I watch 'Better Call Saul' every Monday with my wife. It is like a little movie that is fresh every time. You may think that it would not be fresh for me because I acted in it but the truth is, there is so much in the show that I cannot remember and I have to watch it again just to know what is going on."
"The ability and the opportunity to explore the side characters and give them depth and home is a really wonderful thing. Giancarlo Esposito, who plays Gus, told Hector a story from his childhood and poverty in one of the recent episodes... It reveals a lot about what drives the character. In the first season, episode six of the show, which is one of our greatest episodes, you learn about how Mike's choices as a policeman led to his son's death."
"She is given a lot to do. She can be tough, sensitive and cunning. She also has a dark side. It has a lot to do with the female writers."
