Better Call Saul may not have stellar ratings, but it has quite the fanbase. Of all the current rated episodes on IMDb, none of them fall below an 8.0 for a score.
We are just a few more weeks away from the release of the fifth and penultimate season of Better Call Saul. We cannot wait to see what Bob Odenkirk and company have in store for us and we'll be revisiting previous episodes until then. Here are the best episodes of Better Call Saul according to IMDb.
10 "Gloves Off" (9.0)
The fourth episode of season two finds Jimmy in hot water as he comes under scrutiny for creating a commercial for the abused residents of Sandpiper Crossing. While the commercial in and of itself isn't anything bad, the partners of Davis & Main don't find it in good taste with the firm's standing. They warn Jimmy that he will be on thin ice for the time being. Jimmy tries to help Chuck, who spends most of his days wrapped in a space blanket in his home, but only proceeds to make things worse for him and Kim.
9 "Klick" (9.0)
In the finale of season two, we see Jimmy rush to Chuck's aid as he is discovered unconscious at a copy store. While Jimmy was doing something that would ultimately make life harder for Chuck, he had no intention of causing him more physical problems as Chuck has been plagued with mental instability since the beginning of the series.
Also in this episode, Mike tries to make a move on Hector Salamanca, but cannot get a clear shot on him and goes back to his car after the horn mysteriously begins blaring. Upon returning to his car, he finds a note simply saying "Don't." Hector Salamanca may live to see another day, but the contention between him and other drug lords is only beginning.
8 "Sabrosito" (9.0)
In the fourth episode of season three, things really begin heating up between Gus Fring's drug operation and the Salamancas. Hector pays a visit to the flagship Los Pollos Hermanos location to intimidate Gus and his employees.
Gus attempts to recruit Mike for his own purposes, confessing he was the one who left the note in his car and prevented him from killing Hector. The drama between Chuck and Jimmy over the taped confession continues.
7 "Witness" (9.0)
In the second episode of season three, one of the supporting characters from Breaking Bad makes her debut. Francesca Liddy, who will eventually become Saul's secretary, interviews with Jimmy and eventually gets officially hired as the first employee of Wexler-McGill.
Later in the episode, Howard and Chuck make a plan to trap Jimmy into breaking and entering Chuck's house so he can destroy the tape of his confession. He shocks them both by showing up and destroying the tape right in front of Chuck. So much for Jimmy staying out of court for a while.
6 "Wiedersehn" (9.1)
Everything that can go wrong does go wrong in the ninth episode of season four. At last, Jimmy has the opportunity to be reinstated to the New Mexico Bar by appearing before a committee to make his case. Despite his best efforts, he does not get approved because the committee believes him to be insincere.
Meanwhile, Gus's operation goes haywire as the head of his German crew, Werner, disappears in an attempt to briefly visit his wife. His escape from the compound causes pandemonium and the fallout from the season finale eventually makes it impossible for him to return.
5 "Lantern" (9.2)
The finale of season three is one of the most tragic of the entire series. When Chuck gets ousted from HHM by Howard, it is also the last straw for Jimmy and Chuck's relationship. Jimmy visits Chuck to try and make amends but is rebuffed by Chuck when he tells Jimmy he never really cared that much for him.
All hopes for reconciliation between the two are dashed as Howard commits suicide by lighting his house on fire while inside it. It was difficult to see how Jimmy and Chuck could ever repair their relationship, but it didn't make Chuck's suicide any easier to stomach.
4 "Five-O" (9.5)
Throughout the course of Breaking Bad, we never came to fully understand what made Mike tick. What we knew was that he was Gus's right-hand man and that he wasn't to be trifled with. The sixth episode of the first season changed all of that as we finally got a backstory for Mike.
After a run-in with some police officers from Mike's past, Mike sits down with his daughter-in-law, Stacey, and explains how it came to this. He tells her about the corruption that was rampant where he and his son worked. Despite trying to protect his son by allowing him to get involved with other dirty cops, he was still killed. Little wonder Mike is so jaded by life.
3 "Pimento" (9.5)
Before Mike would go on to become Gus's most trusted employee, he still had to take some jobs for people he was much smarter than. In the ninth episode of season one, he gets hired by a man named Daniel Wormald who wants to sell stolen pills.
Initially, two other men are hired alongside Mike to guard Daniel when he goes to get payment for the pills. But when one of the other hired hands tries to fight him, Mike defends himself against the attack, scaring off the other hired hand. We're reminded that when it comes to bodyguards, the only one you'll ever need is Mike.
2 "Winner" (9.6)
The most recent season finale of Better Call Saul finally saw Jimmy McGill adopt the infamous moniker of Saul Goodman. After spending an entire year without practicing law and trying to make plans for the future, it came to a screeching halt when Jimmy was denied re-entry into the New Mexico Bar in the previous episode.
He makes one final plea at an appeal hearing but realizes its all a joke. A confused Kim asks him what his plan is to which Jimmy replies, "S'all good, man!" This episode more than any other has us excited about what the last two seasons will bring.
1 "Chicanery" (9.7)
The fifth episode of the third season remains the highest-rated of the entire series. Chuck continues full-force in his attempt to disbar Jimmy. What he has no idea about is Jimmy's scheme to undermine him. W
hile Jimmy has Chuck on the stand during cross-examination, Jimmy turns the tables by bringing the issues of Chuck's electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS) to the attention of the bar. Despite trying to assert he's mentally stable, Chuck loses all composure, setting the stage for the end of any hope for an amicable relationship between him and Jimmy.
