    Mikes poorly made pimento cheese sandwich

    His temper flared in this episode and we saw a side of Mike we never thought existed. He lost it and broke bad. Will he recover or has he given in to the cold hitman we all knew he knew him to be but not how it was to be?

    Very good but not up to the usual BCS standard.

    Especially the scene with Mike felt very forced and unnecessary. Also when Jimmy organized another "shortcut" to get what he wants he doesn't even try to hide it.

    Both these things make the show seem unrealistic and rushed which wasn't the case in the seasons before, when Mike and Saul were involved in their "usual business".

    Still, the last scene gives me confidence that the next episodes are going to be better.

    Upping the Ante

    Two significant elements again. We have Nacho, forced to turn on his own people because his family is threatened. He has to prove himself to Lalo with the idea of betraying him later. Saul continues to build his client base with heavy handed tactics and negotiations. He is proving to be a master manipulator. He is doing so well, it's almost a letdown when Nacho forces him to take a ride. Hard to escape the past.

    Someting tells me this is gonna be the best season so far

    Greetings from Lithuania.

    Only two episodes into this season 5 i can already predict that this season is going to be one crazy ride. They finished the story with his brother (finally), and now it will be all about Saul. Oh and there also a lot of other character we will meet again / have meet before that kinda keeps your attention to screen. This what makes this series great - amazing and involving writing, great acting, terrific characters and very involving story.

    My body is ready.

    Already fantastic

    Only the second episode in and it's already fantastic. Jimmy and Kim slow-burn while the drug sub-plots are a masterclass of incident and tension. Nothing not to love about this one.
