    This last half-season is not as compelling as what made BCS so refreshing in the first place: The need to further the plot and reach that final "explanation" has killed all the artistic qualities the show demonstrated before (be it smartly angled shots, continuous takes, telescoping used in action scenes). The only fantastic episode was the killing of Howards.
    Lalo's death was executed as

    Lalo's death was executed as expected and the Omaha/Takavic story line is as boring as they come. Black and white? This is isn't a Bela Tarr film, thank god!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Didn't care for it, Jimmy is a curropt greedy scumbag who gets his comeuppance. His wife turned from good to bad and his now deceased brother was completely right about him. Why do people worship these types? Expand

    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.

    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.
