"BETTER CALL SAUL continues its monumental crawl through the desert of moral ambiguity as its soul breaks from bad to worse. Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould expand the shameless indignities of personal ambition with every weapon in their narrative arsenal as Bob Odenkirk's pitifully hilarious opportunist finds an equally righteous void in the masterful turn of Rhea Seehorn's Kim Wexler. Together, they worm their way through an imagined American dream." -The American Film Institute.
