    As it nears its climax, and we ponder not if but how they’ll stick the landing, Better Call Saul’s steady rise to the giddy heights of all-time classic television drama feels inexorable.

    The final batch of episodes kicks off with a virtuoso Vince Gilligan-directed instalment, that’s all beguilingly complicated visual techniques and gun-toting, tense plotlines.

    Lalo has distinguished himself as the series’ most riotously entertaining presence. He’s a villain for the ages, and “Point and Shoot” offers him yet another glorious showcase.

    We still have five precious episodes left before the series ends, but we may already have the crux of what happens to Jimmy and Kim and the reason for the Kim-less years ahead. ... It was a satisfying end to the Lalo/Gus chapter of the cartel war. ... This episode is Smith’s final script for the series, one that is wonderfully paired with Gilligan’s thrilling direction.

    "Point and Shoot" enriches the Superlab into a mythic space and makes it a potent symbol for the show itself.

    Not only is “Point and Shoot” an impeccable ballet of conflicting aims and means, it sets an effective expectation for the remaining five episodes to come: Don’t expect this to feel good.

    A strength of Better Call Saul has been the way it is able to draw on viewers’ knowledge of future events to make a dramatic use of fate. Occasionally this foreknowledge can be a weakness and (without being too specific) a climactic showdown here loses some suspense because we know which character must survive to feature in Breaking Bad.

    The typically riveting episode sees two of Saul’s most significant characters accelerate towards a heavyweight showdown. ... Unfortunately, Better Call Saul has succumbed to the vogue for filming key scenes at night and in near total darkness. And so, much like that notorious Game of Thrones battle blanketed in gloom, a seismic confrontation goes off with a muggy whimper.
