Right? When I watched that episode I could never imagine they'd be able to top it even once, and then Lalo turned up and all bets were off. What a villain!
Easy top 3. I think this episode is the culmination of everything BCS was trying to accomplish by showing how different it was from BB yet still being just as compelling. It even helped show how Jimmy created his network since he wasn't able to practice law after this episode. Amazing episode that needs to be rated higher.
@@moeski17 So that he could dramatically put it on in front of them. Also he needed something to do if he was standing in the hallway for 10 minutes for no reason.
probably unpopular opinion, but while i think plan and execution is a super good epsiode, fun and games is even better imo. the reveal of kim no longer being a lawyer, then the breakup scene and the end of their relationship was so damn good. p&e is still top three tho
Winner is such a underrated episode. Such a well acted thrilling heartbreaking hour of TV. Before plan and execution, it was my favorite episode of the series.
werner having to scold his wife to save her life, while she is oblivious to it all and probably just thinks werner is annoyed or angry at her is so depressing. they both love each other to death but margaret's last memory of werner is him screaming at her and saying he doesn't want to see her
17:08 Wow… just noticed: After the chat with Mike, who tells Jimmy that every choice puts him on a certain road, as Jimmy stands there- if you look way in the background (far right, end of the street) there’s two young men being goofballs on skateboards. Bit of a callback to one of Jimmy’s first choices that first put him in contact with the first Salamanca he ever met… This show never misses a detail.
I love how Howard’s off the cuff mention of his marriage falling apart is both good drama, since it seems to make Jimmy feel bad and only strengthens Kim’s resolve, but it’s also crucial information to allow Kim to manipulate Cheryl in Fun and Games, her last awful act.
@@alonnie1919 she gives a testimonial about catching Howard doing cocaine at work, then tells Cheryl that she could’ve been wrong, but “as his wife” Cheryl would know best, essentially daring her to contradict the story, while knowing that Cheryl and Howard had been secretly estranged for the better part of a year so Cheryl couldn’t really be sure that Howard wasn’t a drug user.
That scene in Winner always breaks my heart. Mike has always been one of my favorite characters in the BB universe, so seeing these moments that break him down are hard to watch. Then on top of that, watching Zeigler's end is the saddest thing on earth. He seemed like a genuinely nice guy. Seeing his last conversation with his wife be an argument was like a punch in the gut.
The wait for the second half of season 6….after that insane violent and horrific cliffhanger will go down in history as perfect TV. The biggest chills all over! BETTER CALL SAULL somehow trumped Breaking Bad, for being the greatest TV drama show of all time. Sublime.
Crazy how only one episode from seasons 1-3 is on here. Even crazier how none of the other ones would be on here if not for the thoroughly crafted setup and character development in seasons 1-3.
I don't think anything ever has or will shatter my heart like plan and execution. We all knew something awful was gonna happen, but good god, when it happened, it still shocked me to my core.
I found Rock and a Hard Place to be the most emotionally affecting of the series. The other ones I found really emotionally devastating but in a different way were the end of Fun and Games, Breaking Bad and Waterworks, there's so much unhappiness in them, and we finally see what we've been begging for the whole series and we hate it when it comes. BCS is my favourite show - such exquisite work from every department.
@@JKBDTS The Tapioca Tundra sequence and then the ending to just commit this really joyless, not that clever con. It felt like Gene is just empty at that point, so hurt that he's almost doing it to hurt people. I thought it was wonderful.
So many excellent episodes to choose from, I think 'Bagman' will always be my personal favourite though. There's just something so unique about that episode.
Seasons 1 and 2 are very underrated. Chuck's arc was one of the best things in this series. Five-O, Pimento, Nailed, and Klick were some of the bests as well.
Bob Odenkirk's genuine expression of nightmarish horror as Lalo enters the scene is etched into my brain forever. I'll never be the same after this episode.
Everyone played that scene perfectly . But howard played it brilliantly . The expression of horror as he saw lalo's gun was impeccable. Dude even controled his sweat
Plan and Execution was just "chefs kiss". I'm still kind of surprised that I didn't see something like that coming. Never would've thought Lalo and Howard would ever share a scene together. Chills!
Lantern is the only episode outside of season 6 to have a different end credits song. Seeing Chucks relapse was also hard to watch. A brilliant episode overall showcasing the downfall of a siblings relationship
When jessie said "This guy any good?" and kim replied "When i knew him, he was good...man, but now it saul gone.." i knew this was a good show. bravo vince
Surprised that "Something Unforgivable" (the final episode of season 5 with this astonishing final 10 minutes at Lalo's Chihuahua house) does not appear in top 10. That shows how good this show is !! :)
Every single clip in this compilation is truly gold. What’s really nice is that the show has a lot of things to notice and digest too. I had a blast looking at the reddit discussions after each episode
Yes people don’t realise that there is such a beautiful love story in BCS , not a lot of people talk about it. The last look kim and Saul give each other is so heartbreaking.
Rock and a Hard Place.. was so hard to watch. Nacho was a criminal, a killer, a bad guy in general yet so many of us loved his character! He went out like a champion beyond any meaning of the word! I always hoped he would just get his dad and HEAD TO CANADA or somewhere! He had the money, he had the time to plan it (as we know he did have a sort of plan to leave) yet he never does. I hate what they did to him when they damn near killed him because Gus figured out (still don't know how he would've even really known) about Nacho's plan to kill Hector. That was SO painful to watch and Gus didn't even send him to his top of the line medical set up like he did for Mike afterwards? UGH yeah it is amazing how connected and close we become to characters on a TV show isn't it? RIP Nacho
The final season was filled with bangers. There's no way I can rank some of these episodes because my mood changes so frequently. I still want to put Chicanery on top sometimes, but others I want Saul Gone on top, or Plan and Execution, or Waterworks, or Bagman, etc...
When Mike helps Jimmy at that dessert, where is his car? Impossible that he tracked Jimmy only on his foot.. And if he bring his car, impossible that he just left it there for Lalo's men to found.
To this day I still get a little nauseous when I rewatch that scene of HH getting shot. You know the show is good when it makes you feel that way. Brilliant.
I would add Five-O as well in Season 1. It was the episode that really hooked me to keep watching the show and it showed Jonathan Bank(Mike Ermentraut) acting chops. He really shined in that episode.
I know we've all seen this and probably agree, but i gotta say, howard didnt deserve anything jimmy did to him let alone pulling him into the lalo situation.
Jimmy shouldn’t have been a lawyer, but Chuck was the only one telling him that, and he was the WORST person to be telling him that, cuz he was jealous as hell
Honestly while the big payoff episodes are of course great TV they wouldn’t work without the more quiet character focused episodes. For me, BCS in its entirety is a masterpiece, with no bad episodes I could think of.
I never watched this show until it hit Netflix. My bad for sure. All I can say is with a brother like Chuck, who needs enemies? Wow the hatred. No one could have asked for a more loyal partner than Kim was to Jimmy/Saul and Jimmy/Saul was to her. Their breakup was heartbreaking. The episode when Mike did handyman aka surveillance on Chuck for Saul was hilarious.
I like the way Jimmy said *How* and Kim said *Howard* right away to disguise what Jimmy said because Jimmy saying how implies he knew something happened to Lalo and if he knows this then he has incriminated them both.
revisiting the episode "Saul Gone" after watching the whole series really made me realize that even thou Chuck is envious, he is proud of his younger brother who he think has changed and actually cared for him.
Yes but Hank was fighting the cartel. Howard was just an innocent law-abiding citizen with a prestigious career so literally he could not have seen his own death coming. Still both tragic and not deserved obviously. But I think Howard’s death is more tragic
I didn’t realise rock and a hard place was as high up as it was it’s good but not better that episodes like bagman, something unforgivable, bad choice road, winner, and CHICANERY
This series, just like BB, is damn fine. But I gotta say my favorite seasons are the firt 3. Because they were different than BB. After Chuck's death it started merging into BB more and more, logically, and the quality stayed fabulous, just I sort of started missing the typical stuff from the first 3 seasons. Kim and Saul/Jimmy doing shenanigans together is just the best about this series.
The way Michael Mando delivered "you think of me" will forever hold the place of best moment between either show
The way he growls it is so unnerving
goosebumps
You think of me *grr* *rawr xD*
I wonder if Hector ever did
literally was gonna comment this but you beat me to it. Need to see Mando more
The fact there are FOUR entire episodes that outrank Chicanery is wild
Right? When I watched that episode I could never imagine they'd be able to top it even once, and then Lalo turned up and all bets were off. What a villain!

Even without Howard's death, it's still fantastic. It's like it signals the beginning of the end for the entire series.
The whole build up and unexpected ending was utter shock

True Saul Gone, Faline, Person to person, Done, Papa's Goods, and The Seige Of Mandalor are the best finale.
@@abramsullivan7764 truee, i'd also add final episode "hello, elliot" from Mr. Robot, final episode of Avatar TLA and final episode Code Geass

Better Call Saul is one of those shows where once you start watching clips you end up watching the entire episode, or series for that matter.
That's how it started for me literally
I simply love the wide shot when Mike shoots Werner. The night over the New Mexico desert. Two men with only one way. The certainty of death.

The list makes sense. The last 2 seasons were probably the wildest to ever come from tv.
