Straightaway "JMM" becomes one of the series' definitively important episodes, owing to the way it explores every major character's effort to maintain control of their identity's duality and how some are better at doing so than others.

This isn't about Howard. This is about commitment. It's about destiny. It's about a man inexorably sliding downhill like a raw chicken down a hot baking sheet, releasing its own juices to grease the way.

It's actually easier to wrap your head around Breaking Bad-era Saul Goodman's seeming lack of shame after witnessing this episode's courtroom theatrics.

4.5/5

A brilliant episode that is like a ticking time bomb. The explosion of both Gus' restaurant and Jimmy are fairly similar in their design, the escalation of something that can't be stopped.

5/5

Jimmy and Kim's relationship makes some serious strides in "JMM," the latest excellent installment of Better Call Saul, but they all seemed to be nullified by the episode's final minutes.

3.75/5

From a Jimmy and Kim perspective, this is a very strong outing, but the Gus scenes drag the episode down a bit. That final scene, though, was remarkable. It was pure character drama with the perfect combination of subtleness and explicitness.
