Better Call Saul’s fifth season premiere was a tense, enthralling hour of shifting identities, simmering grudges, and tying up loose ends.
Better Call Saul’s drug cartel plotline also continues, with the suave, sinister “Lalo” Salamanca side of the operation.
Mike Ehrmantraut (Jonathan Banks) finished Better Call Saul’s fourth season by executing the runaway construction worker Werner Ziegler, and it’s clear from this episode that he’s still feeling guilty about it.
But of all the identities that Jimmy tries on in the episode, it’s easy, sleazy Saul Goodman that seems to fit him best.
