Jimmy is not Saul! At least not yet...

In "Mijo" we see face of Jimmy that we couldn't see in "Breaking Bad" Saul - that is a person with morals, that is traumatized by people like Tuco, not one that suggests sending people on a trip to Belize. This contrast is strengthened in the last scene where Jimmy outright refuses to partake in crime.

Pacing in this episode was great, from tension and danger of negotiations with psychopath, to visually telling bar scene, and my personal favourite "It's Showtime" montage.

Chuck scene felt kind of slower but I guess necessary to emphasize characteristics of his "condition".

Overall, I think "Mijo" is an upgrade from previous episode. 9/10.
