The Fly was definitely a polarizing episode. My biggest complaint about it was that it completely threw off the pacing of the story that season.
If you haven't seen it yet, I would highly recommend you check out the spin-off series Better Call Saul. I ended up enjoying it even more than Breaking Bad, although it does spend a long time setting up the pieces before everything starts falling into place.
I really should. I’ve been a fan of Bob Odenkirk since Mr. Show. I’ll give it a watch.
If you're a fan of Odenkirk and crime shows, I also recommend checking out Fargo.
There's a different cast each season, and in the first one he plays the bumbling local chief of police.
I will. Thanks! I’m a big fan of the Coen brothers film. I didn’t even know this existed.
Funny story. The show was over budget so they had to do something cheap. 'The Fly' let them do a bottle episode with an existing set and no new actors.
"Bottle episode" comes from Star Trek TOS. They once had an episode where the ship was trapped in a bottle because of budget.
