Episode Summary & Review
Summary
Now doing business as Saul Goodman, Jimmy unveils an unorthodox strategy for client development that tests Kim’s tolerance of his new legal persona. Lalo searches for the mysterious Michael, only to discover a problem within his own operation.
Our Take
A solid season opener that mostly coasts on the fun of full-blown Saul Goodman finally taking over the screen. Jimmy’s burner phone hustle is a kick, and the Kim tension simmers nicely, though the Lalo material moves slower than it thinks it does. Worth your time if you’re already invested, just don’t expect a premiere with much urgency.
