Better Call Saul: Bagman (2020)
One of the Weakest Episodes
I love BCS, however this is by far one of the weakest episodes. The most unrealistic and poorly researched aspects of the episode is drinking urine to prevent dehydration. Mike would have known you cannot hydrate yourself using urine due to the salt content. Jimmy's need for encouragement last minute felt tacked on. The final kill, while important for demonstrating Jimmy's developed strength and persistence, was more of a forced resolution to the shootout earlier and feels saccharine and cheap with the execution. Oh and the "the engine is shot... Literally" is a genuinely awful joke and uncharacteristic of Mike. Overall, the episode felt that it served it's purpose as an important moment in the series while also being insubstantial and had an unnecessarily over sentimental tone at times.
