10 weeks have passed in a split second, all because of this heavenly made show by Vince Gilligan, The guy who became the TV's Martin Scorsese. I'm not gonna spoil this episode for you but it's pretty much classic, down to the origins type of episode, a turn that will lead to another direction later on, an episode perfectly written & perfectly ends this beautiful ride. I can only say that now, Better Call Saul is finally established in solid grounds with this Season, A season that took us back to the exciting days of Breaking Bad with the beauty direction, The slick script writing, The colorful characters & The Music, Ugh don't get me started on the music. I would have really hated this episode if it left me with a cliffhanger just like Breaking Bad every single Season Finale, but I guess this is different.. This is far more satisfying for me, Now I can wait for another season in peace!
This episode was so so good. I really like it a lot, Marco and Jimmy were hilarious.
Can't wait for season 2.
Hope it will get more action and drama, and more mike's episodes.
The directing in this show was the boom.
I recommend to any one to see this Fantastic show.
Bob Odenkirk as jimmy is brilliant! This series is just so interesting to me.
Never cease to amaze me.
Not one dull moment.

Gilligan and Gould do it again!
Well, the first season of Better Call Saul has come to a conclusion. It feels like just yesterday was ten weeks ago when I was eagerly anticipating the two night series premiere that awaited me and millions of other Breaking Bad fans, as well as people who didn't watch BB. Two and a half months have passed in a split second.
This episode, directed by one of the main men Peter Gould, was almost definitely my favourite installment of this excellent series so far. And I think I've said this before in one of my other BCS episode reviews, but just because I don't give it a 10/10 stars rating, doesn't mean it isn't a damn near perfect episode. For example, Breaking Bad was one of the best shows I've ever watched but I only gave a 10/10 rating for one of them, and it was the finale.
Nearly everything was spot on in 'Marco.' The cinematography was stunning as usual, which you can only expect from the team that brought you BB. Screenplay - as usual - top notch. The music was first-rate as always, from the original score to 'Smoke on the Water' playing near the end, all the pieces were placed in the episode at the exact right time to perfection. One of the best thing about 'Marco' was the acting. Some of the best performances I've seen from the main cast were displayed today, as well as outstanding performances from not-so-regular cast members. Everyone represented their characters wonderfully and portrayed the personalities of them extremely well
So, thanks Gilligan, Gould and the crew for filling the Breaking Bad hole that has been left unoccupied for the last year-and-a-bit. You sent off the show for the first season stunningly with a great cliffhanger, and I - as well as millions of other fans - will be awaiting season 2 eagerly, and we will likely not be disappointed when it finally arrives.
9/10

It was always going to be interesting to see how Jimmy reacted to the bombshell in the previous episode and it was brilliantly displayed. Jimmy McGill is a very different character to Walter White (sorry but the Breaking Bad comparisons will continue - speaking of which, there is a great reference in the episode, that brought a smile!) and it was very refreshing to see his inner turmoils.
The storyline is quite clever too, to keep the story arc ticking but also show Jimmy at his best, doing what he absolutely enjoys. There were so many doubts as to how Bob Odenkirk can lead this show, but he truly shows what a great actor he is, especially in the scenes where he has to show/hide his emotions.
While the episode was slightly more mellow than the previous one, but it finished on a nice ending, and leaves fans with great excitement for what's to come in season 2. This show will definitely last a few more seasons and I cannot wait to see the transformation of Jimmy to Saul! Bring on season 2!!

Man do I love this show.
The first time I watched this season 2.5 years ago I thought it was cool but a bit boring. But now after viewing it again with my girlfriend: it's an amazing season.

- TriviaSaul (Bob Odenkirk) mentions how he'd like to take a trip to Belize one day. This is both a reference to Breaking Bad (2008)'s "trip to Belize" meaning someone will be killed, and the fact that the actors and producers of Breaking Bad (2008) were offered free trips to Belize by their tourism board to show the country is safe.
- GoofsWhen Jimmy calls "B12" and the scene changes to over his shoulder, before he places "B12" it is already in the board.
