Kenny Herzog New York Magazine/Vulture Feb 25, 2020
4/5
As the show nears Breaking Bad's timeline, it's even more thrilling (and tragic) to see the whole arc of characters like Mike and Krazy 8. Go to Full Review Donna Bowman AV Club Feb 25, 2020
A-
It's a masterfully choreographed and edited action scene, punctuated by the offhand comic energy of Lalo casually watching it all unfold. Go to Full Review Steve Greene IndieWire Feb 25, 2020
B

It's simply another bulletpoint on a long list of things that Better Call Saul does wonderfully. What a treat. Go to Full Review Lauren Coates Culturess Mar 2, 2020
The writers of Better Call Saul and Mando have formed Nacho into a deeply complex figure, and "50% Off" made it abundantly clear that, at his core, Nacho is just a scared son trying to save his father. Go to Full Review Kevin Lever Tell-Tale TV Feb 25, 2020
4.5/5
A spirited return to a status quo, but with Jimmy now riding off to a massive challenge and Mike now lost to his misery, this is becoming a grim status quo. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
