The fallout from that will be immense and a great way to kick off Season 3 tensions, but again, it felt like a beginning and not an end. Instead, “Klick” took us right back to that Season 1 finale moment, with Chuck emerging victorious - seemingly - having caught Jimmy on tape confessing knowingly to a felony. The season’s penultimate episode, “Nailed,” would have made a devastating finale because it was a subversion (and something like revenge) of the Season 1 finale when Jimmy discovers Chuck’s betrayal. The same was true regarding Jimmy and Chuck’s ( Michael McKean) feud. Mike deciding that he did need take a life because he caused two to be lost (due to the trick he pulled taking Salamanca’s money) was a great way to end the season, but he was warded off in a way that felt like the beginning of a new chapter. It stuck to its themes of identity and morality in complicated ways, including some interesting moments spent with Mike Ehrmantraut ( Jonathan Banks) as he wrestled with his desire to not commit a murder while dealing with chaotic murderers.īut while the season’s final episode, “Klick,” had a lot of excellent moments (including some Breaking Bad-esque tension with Mike’s sniper mission), it didn’t feel like a finale. Instead, it was a breathtaking character study that found an unexpected hero not in Jimmy McGill ( Bob Odenkirk) but in his co-worker and eventual romantic partner, Kim Wexler ( Rhea Seehorn).
BETTER CALL SAUL SEASON 1 EPISODE 6 RECAP TV
It was not only an incredible acting showcase (I named three of its stars as TV Performers of the Week), but it improved upon its first season by not hingeing on absurdist plot points (though it did briefly at the beginning with Mike’s client). Let’s start by stating for the record that Better Call Saul’s second season has already established itself as one of the year’s best.
