I feel so blessed for being alive in this time to be able to revel at this astonishingly stellar piece of art. Never before have I seen a spin-off prequel be as good as the original show I consider to be the best of all time.

I wasn't at all expecting a lot of the events of this episode or at least the timing of it. It's a shocker. My only worry is what they'll now do in the next 5 episodes after the way things turned out, to match the fierce level of suspense in Point & Shoot. The expectations grow bigger as we approach the finale. But this is Vince Gilligan we're talking about and in Vince I trust to sweep me off my feet.

P. S This is definitely a contender for the best episode of the whole season alongside Plan & Execution and Rock & Hard Place.

The haters are either kids or grown-ups who enjoy tv shows where there's no intricate story nor any rich characters but only mindless action like the way it was in Money Heist season 4. This was a joyous and enchanting 40 mins or so of television where we got to personalize with both the Lokis and journey with them. I watched it twice already. This is not a movie people. It's a tv show, so calm your adrenaline craving hormones and learn to appreciate some art.

Season 1 gets a 9 for me but it's unfortunate that in the next 3 seasons the writers get sloppy and somewhat confused. Still the cast performs consistently brilliantly throughout the whole show which is why I am giving it an overall 7. In short, the first two seasons are worth watching as season 2 concludes season 1's deliciously dark story arc even though if not on the most satisfying level. Seasons 3 and 4 are very repetitive and it would be better to invest that time watching something else instead unless the viewer is glued to the cast.
