Review: I found this season quite in line with the previous one, i.e. pretty slow and banking on characters, a tone, black humor and actors that we like. But I found again the pace to be far too slow, and it took me a while to find the motivation to go through it all. Some characters evolve a little but most don't. Their are some surprising turns like the series got us used to but only a few, like what Walt does in S4E7 Problem Dog, or the ending of S4E11 Crawl Space. But the most intriguing in this season is the backstory of Gus, an audience's favorite character played by Giancarlo Esposito, developed in S4E8 Hermanos and meeting a dreadful conclusion in S4E10 Salud. And of course the season finale in S4E13 Face Off is awesome, but not enough to make me forget the relative boredom of watching some episodes. I will definitely watch the fifth and last season, expecting all hell to break loose.
Rating: 4 /10
