Better Call Saul: Namaste (2020)
Season 5, Episode 4
8/10
Least impactful of the season but still great

Warning: Spoilers
After last episode "The guy for this", it's gonna be very difficult to follow up with something incredible. I assume Vince knew this and went with a much more chill and classic BCS episode format that never seems to fail.

Great intro with the bowling balls which foreshadows Saul's eventual actions against Howard Hamlin's motivation of getting Jimmy back at HHM. Nice montage sequences all through the episode shown through as Lyle and Fring's trap juxtapose very nicely as they both want perfection in their actions, CLASSIC FRING FROM BB. Kim is really gaining traction this season and is actually feels like its building towards something HUGE that leads to Kim never mentioned in BB.

I can't give this ep higher than an 8 as Namaste is without Ignacio and Lalo but Mike was incredible, great symbolism having him walking back in the same neighbourhood with the hoodlums as it displays either he truly is after the trouble, he wants the danger back in his life or he wanted to be hurt for his actions against Kaylee and Stacey. Anyway, good cliff hanger ending to see where Mike goes from here and v excited to see Mesa Verde (Kim) V Acker (Goodman)
