Better Call Saul: Season 6, Episode 2 (2022) EDIT “[A] superb and stressful episode...” – New York Times Apr 21, 2022 Full Review Better Call Saul: Season 6, Episode 1 (2022) EDIT “Whatever it took to write and shoot the Season 6 premiere, it must be hailed as a masterly curtain raiser...” – New York Times Apr 19, 2022 Full Review Better Call Saul: Season 5, Episode 10 (2020) EDIT “What's set up here is a classic "Better Call Saul"/"Breaking Bad" moral conundrum, in which a character justifies an indefensible act by highlighting its upsides. But this conundrum feels different.” – New York Times Apr 21, 2020 Full Review Better Call Saul: Season 5, Episode 9 (2020) EDIT “An episode that is low on action and very interior. If the tale told here has a chewy center, it is the speech Mike gives to Jimmy about the ways that people choose a road, often based on a small decision, and then find it impossible to exit that road.” – New York Times Apr 14, 2020 Full Review Better Call Saul: Season 5, Episode 8 (2020) EDIT “It takes nerve and skill to tell a story as grueling as the one told in "Bagman"... The nerviest choice made by the writers is surely the one made at the end. There is no end.” – New York Times Apr 7, 2020 Full Review Better Call Saul: Season 5, Episode 7 (2020) EDIT “"JMM," as this episode is titled, is essentially a series of sales pitches. The finest of them occurs after a meeting of fast food chief executives.” – New York Times Mar 31, 2020 Full Review Better Call Saul: Season 5, Episode 6 (2020) EDIT “The oddest plot strand in this show's history may well be Jimmy's continuing vendetta against Howard... To be clear, the above nits are picked only because the rest of the show is so remarkable.” – New York Times Mar 24, 2020 Full Review Better Call Saul: Season 5, Episode 5 (2020) EDIT “There's a pleasing symmetry to "Dedicado a Max," an episode that could be more accurately titled "A Tale of Two Coots."” – New York Times Mar 17, 2020 Full Review Better Call Saul: Season 5, Episode 4 (2020) EDIT “Anyone else find that bowling ball prank a tad on the contrived side? And it seems out of character for a guy whose specialty is messing with minds, no?” – New York Times Mar 10, 2020 Full Review Better Call Saul: Season 5, Episode 3 (2020) EDIT “It's great to have these gents back, and they get a suitably insouciant entrance, with Hank pulling an illegal U-turn and then cutting the line for jailhouse visitors.” – New York Times Mar 3, 2020 Full Review Better Call Saul: Season 5, Episode 2 (2020) EDIT “It's excruciating to watch Mike lash out at the one person he seems to love unconditionally, and to whom he will try to give all of his ill-gotten fortune in Breaking Bad.” – New York Times Feb 25, 2020 Full Review Better Call Saul: Season 5, Episode 1 (2020) EDIT “Let's just say it: That was the best season opener to date.” – New York Times Feb 24, 2020 Full Review Star Trek: Enterprise: Season 1 (2001) 75% EDIT “"Enterprise" has a bargain-basement feel that lands just this side of camp; the space fights aren't much more convincing than PlayStation offerings. And everything is wrapped in a trite message about unity and the importance of getting along.” – Washington Post Jan 28, 2020 Full Review Better Call Saul: Season 4, Episode 10 (2018) EDIT “All of the major characters are on the verge of becoming even more compelling, and as "Better Call Saul" merges with the timeline of its chronological successor, it will get only more interesting.” – New York Times Oct 10, 2018 Full Review Better Call Saul: Season 4, Episode 9 (2018) EDIT “Anyone else get a shiver of delight and dread when Hector first rang that sucker? If malice could speak, this is all it would need to say.” – New York Times Oct 2, 2018 Full Review Better Call Saul: Season 4, Episode 8 (2018) EDIT “Giancarlo Esposito is the greatest and most underused natural resource on television.” – New York Times Sep 25, 2018 Full Review Better Call Saul: Season 4, Episode 7 (2018) EDIT “This episode is all about patience, and Kim shows a lot of it.” – New York Times Sep 18, 2018 Full Review Better Call Saul: Season 4, Episode 6 (2018) EDIT “For me, this is easily the best season of "Better Call Saul.” – New York Times Sep 11, 2018 Full Review Better Call Saul: Season 4, Episode 5 (2018) EDIT “Yet again, Rhea Seehorn, as Kim, delivers the most psychologically intriguing performance in the show.” – New York Times Sep 4, 2018 Full Review Better Call Saul: Season 4, Episode 4 (2018) EDIT “It's hard to know precisely what is running through the mind of Ms. Wexler these days. Delightfully, she has emerged as one of the most intriguing characters in the show.” – New York Times Aug 28, 2018 Full Review Better Call Saul: Season 4, Episode 3 (2018) EDIT “The tale of how Schuler, who ran Madrigal's fast food division, became Fring's silent partner is as worthy a subplot as I can imagine.” – New York Times Aug 21, 2018 Full Review Better Call Saul: Season 4, Episode 2 (2018) EDIT “It was great to see Rhea Seehorn given some richer, chewier dialogue and the chance to emote.” – New York Times Aug 14, 2018 Full Review Better Call Saul: Season 4, Episode 1 (2018) EDIT “In many ways, this is the plot template of "Saul" in miniature: con, followed by guilt over con, followed by con.” – New York Times Aug 7, 2018 Full Review Better Call Saul: Season 3, Episode 10 (2017) EDIT “Better Call Saul entertains more often than just about anything else on TV, and I dearly hope that AMC renews it.” – New York Times Jun 20, 2017 Full Review Better Call Saul: Season 3, Episode 9 (2017) EDIT “As was true with regard to the next-to-last episodes of earlier seasons...find myself unsure where the plot is heading. I don't mean that the story lacks options... I could list 10 things that might occur next week, many of them riveting.” – New York Times Jun 13, 2017 Full Review
