    Good Episode

    Maybe not my favorite favorite episode but the acting level is just high level. In the episode you get to know Howard and Kim more

    Best scene of the series

    Kim's big scene with Howard was one of my favorite scenes of the series. Imagine someone understanding that much about you, and having your back like that. I was in awe of her acting chops too.

    !Rhea Seehorn!

    I am not one to write a review. Yet, the extraordinary acting of Miss Seehorn has compelled me to praise her excuisite work. The way Rhea dumped her heart out and completely overwhelmed ¨Howard¨ was like nothing I have seen in a VERY long time. This is an extremely undervalued actress in which I would be running to for the lead role in my new film(if I had one). She has pleasantly surprised me and even though she does not have a major role in this series, her acting has driven the perception of her character to have now become a crazy chess game of life for not just this one person, but for this couple. ¨Better call Seehorn¨

    A very involving series

    Greetings from Lithuania.

    "Better Call Saul" has to be an example of how to create an involving series. You have to have great writing, good directing and good actors. But to mix it all together in a way that viewers would be involved almost in very scene is a thing of masters. And i think creators of this show are such masters. All in all, "Breathe", 2nd episode of season 4 was involving, intriguing and superbly made. Watching "Better Call Saul" 46 or so min. runs like a wind.

    Rhea Seehorn

    I have to agree with another review on here about Rhea Seehorn since her scene where she exploded on Howard Hamlin was beyond amazing(Literally brought me to tears). I've loved her right from the beginning but she just gets better with each episode. Peter Gilligan is not only a fantastic show creator but whoever is in charge of casting is also brilliant.

    For the couple reviewers on here who said this was boring or nothing happens I don't think this show is for you since if you're not understanding, or more so feeling, what's happening then you probably would be more content with a show that's more spoon fed and doesn't require you to think so much.

    • Trivia
      One scene in this episode shows Mike watching his granddaughter Kaylee on a playground swing. This shot was added as an Easter egg, as it is similar to a scene in the Breaking Bad episode S5.E7 "Say My Name", which was Mike's final appearance. In "Say My Name", Mike is watching Kaylee swing in a park, when he learns that the DEA is about to arrest him, and he is forced to flee without saying goodbye. Both "Say My Name" and "Breathe" were written by Thomas Schnauz.

      When Nacho insist that they be given 6 kilos instead of 5, a sixth kilo is tossed onto the table and stops with its longer edge facing Nacho. In the next scene, it is seen that its shorter edge is towards Nacho.

      Gustavo 'Gus' Fring: [to Nacho] I know what you've done. The Salamancas, they don't. Do you understand what I'm telling you? You. Are. Mine.
