Seriously, just give Jonathan Banks the Best Supporting Actor Emmy now. His performance in this episode alone was a masterpiece. Go to Full Review Emily St. James Vox Mar 12, 2015
What makes "Five-O" so remarkable isn't just the stunning work of Jonathan Banks... No, what makes it so remarkable is that fans of the character had to wait so long to get any real hint of his backstory beyond "former cop." Go to Full Review Ed Power Daily Telegraph (UK) Mar 10, 2015
4/5
It was not an episode viewers will have expected or much craved, which made its impact all the more forceful. Go to Full Review Jade Budowski Decider Dec 20, 2017
So they skimped on references this week. It's okay, though. We were a little too distracted by Jonathan Banks' riveting/heartbreaking/emotionally raw (and likely Emmy-worthy) performance anyway. Go to Full Review Jocelyn W TV Equals Mar 17, 2015
In addition to being a great origin story for Mike, the episode also helped viewers understand how the two seemingly polar opposite personalities - Mike and Jimmy - eventually became trusted partners. Go to Full Review Ethan Sacks Newark Star-Ledger Mar 10, 2015
There was always the sense that the writers were stalling. Then came Monday night's episode of the "Breaking Bad" prequel... and the payoff. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
