Featured review
Bob Odenkirk Is Fire!!
As Better Call Saul grinds itself towards the end of the first season, Vince Gilligan gave us yet another superb episode. How is a prequel series to one of the best shows on television ever is keeping up with that series? It's just the remarkable gift that Gilligan has. The script, the acting, the music-all outstanding. Gilligan really understands the human condition as we see with James McGill in this episode. After last week's emotional episode with Mike, the series goes back to the adventures of McGill and company. This episode is all about Jimmy and his shrewd cleverness. It's also about how he wants to do the right thing, especially in the eyes of Kim Wexler and Chuck McGill. Bob Odenkirk is on his game this episode.
In this episode "Bingo," Jimmy has ideas of starting his law firm and taking Kim away from HMM so they can team up and practice elder law. Jimmy is already looking at offices. Kim has to refuse him because she is all caught up in the Kettleman case. She pleaded a deal with the DA for the Kettlemans to return the money and accept a 16-month prison sentence. They refuse and fire Kim, which causes her to fall from the good graces of HMM. They blackmail Jimmy to become their lawyer, which makes Jimmy hire Mike to solve this issue once and for all. Meanwhile, Chuck is trying to go outside to work on his disease, but all he wants is something to do. When Jimmy brings boxes to his house with a purpose, perhaps he may get his wish.
This is a great episode. I love the team-up between Jimmy and Mike. Together, the duo was able to turn the tables against the Kettlemans in the most satisfying way. Sadly, it also squashes Jimmy's dreams of going out on his own. Whatever happens, nothing will stop Jimmy. He found it very important that he does right by his brother. With his brother, there could be a McGill team in the near future. The episode balances drama and comedy very well. The exit scene from the HMM office with Betsy Kettleman is great! Overall, this is definitely worth a watch!
