... the revelation that the "Saul Goodman" alias predates Jimmy McGill, Attorney at Law couldn't be a clearer sign that we're about to see a man come full circle.

4/5

That Better Call Saul can pass off what is essentially a tale of existential nihilism as a knockabout lark is surely the most impressive achievement of all.

Jimmy's not a hero, he's a scam artist, but the show puts us in the hard seat of wanting him to win anyway.

3.5/5

Now the show is demanding a little patience from the viewer as it engages in rather more low key plotlines and quiet character building. It's earned that patience... but it might get a little frustrating if the series don't step up a gear.

7/10

There's not much to write home about and I doubt that this will be looked back on as a particularly memorable episode for Better Call Saul's debut season, but it does an admirable and competent job of moving the pieces forward in entertaining fashion.

[It] was not only entertaining, but it was also a pretty efficient way of furthering the development of Jimmy into the character we came to know on Breaking Bad as Saul Goodman.
