First time I saw Lalo I thought 'who the f*** is this Cousin Oliver mf'er.
A couple episodes later he's one of the best characters in the BB universe.
Outstanding job by this dude.
Outstanding.,
So much this. Thought he was just a cheesy one off, poorly written cliche at first but I'll be damned if he isn't one of my favorite characters in all of BB/BCS…actor who portrays him has killed the role.
I agree, he's the perfect mix of charming and menacing.
How has it taken TV this long to make a show based on the worst stereotypes of a slimy lawyer? Most lawyers in media are heroic and stoic. Watching a con artist/lawyer is super entertaining.
The character is very fun but if there was any criticism it's relating to the same reason he is a great, fun character - they almost made him a super villain. Leaping into the arroyo, sleeping "1 or 2 hours a night, all I need", escaping a professional hit squad, an excellent cook, and super sleuth who tracks down Ziegler and Mike - he does it all. The Super Salamanca, efficient and deadly like The Twins, ruthless like Tuco, the brains beyond any other Salamanca?
If you watched Breaking Bad I guess you know Lalo's status at the end of BCS, will be fun to see how it plays out.
