"Chicanery" showcases everything that's best about Better Call Saul. Go to Full Review James White Empire Magazine 05/15/2017
4/5
While an episode set mostly within the walls of a courtroom could have been dull, the legal wrangling is given an electric air thanks to the talents of Rhea Seehorn, Bob Odenkirk and, particularly this week, Michael McKean. Go to Full Review Spencer Kornhaber The Atlantic 05/09/2017
[Chicanery] used the cruddy boardroom of a State Bar of New Mexico hearing to topple a domino line that had been patiently set up for two and half seasons. Our hero was absolved and damned in the same moment, while his nemesis-his brother-was just damned. Go to Full Review Jade Budowski Decider 12/20/2017
This riveting episode was further proof that Vince Gilligan, Peter Gould, and the rest of the team really know how to strike the perfect balance. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
