In the record of all-time terrific imaginary drug lords, it does not get far better than Giancarlo Esposito’s efficiency as cartel supplier Gustavo Fring in AMC’s Breaking Bad and its prequel spinoff Much Better Call SaulEsposito turned Fring, whose genuine front organization as a Los Pollos Hermanos franchisee made him the label “The Chicken Man” amongst his fellow cartel killers, into a cold and systematic killer. He dressed like an accounting professional, managed his drug service like a functional genius, and produced the ambiance of a tautly coiled snake whenever you saw him onscreen.
I’ve constantly believed that Fring’s backstory would produce another terrific Television program spun off from the very same Breaking Bad world. And while that does not seem in the cards now and most likely ever, AMC and Esposito will provide us the next finest thing: Esposito, back on the little screen as the star and executive manufacturer of the upcoming six-episode minimal series ParishIn this brand-new gritty police procedural, he represents Gracian “Gray” Parish, a married man who owns a high-end cars and truck service in New Orleans.
As AMC describes it, “After his child is strongly killed and his organization collapses, an encounter with an old pal from his days as a navigator resurfaces old practices, sending out Gray on a high-stakes clash with a violent criminal distribute.”
Got that? In other words, Esposito’s Gray is going to break bad and return to his days as a trip motorist. Or, more precisely, he’s going to break bad once again.
