Kenny Herzog New York Magazine/Vulture 02/25/2020
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 02/25/2020
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 02/25/2020

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 03/02/2020
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 02/25/2020
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
