Better Call Saul - S1 • E5 Ratings & Reviews
Flavorwire
Judy Berman
"Jello" upped the humor quotient with some of the show's funniest dialogue to date - though, thanks to a parallel storyline, it was also Better Call Saul's most emotional episode.
TV Equals
Jocelyn W
The Better Call Saul writers have done a good job at balancing intense, well-crafted moments of drama with moments of levity that feel genuine and organic.
Total Film
Ian Berriman
There's nothing explosive about this episode, but there are three elements to it and all of them work really well.
Screen Rant
Kevin Yeoman
Director Nicole Kassell excels in building up expectations and then letting them collapse under the enormity of their ridiculousness.
IGN Movies
Roth Cornet
Better Call Saul delivers another powerful episode, as Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould effortlessly shift between moments of the outrageous, profane, mundane, theatrical, and gut-wrenching humanity.
Guardian
Richard Vine
After the first four installments, it's a welcome gear shift; we've got a sense of the rhythm of the show, the lie of the land, now it's satisfying to take a tour around - and to set up the next chapter.
Entertainment Weekly
Kevin P. Sullivan
The episode's conclusion made me the most hopeful I've been about the series since the black-and-white cold open.
AV Club
Donna Bowman
Compared to the masterful construction of "Hero," this week's episode is held back by some of its technical choices. But it does make two important contributions to our understanding of Jimmy's journey.
TV.com
Tim Surette
All told, the hour really helped to solidify the series as a companion to Breaking Bad, as opposed to a second coming of it.
Paste Magazine
Shane Ryan
If you had stopped the episode halfway through and told me I wasn't allowed to finish it-EVER!-that would have been okay.
New York Times
David Segal
If nothing else, we are going to learn more about Mike's history. This alone is worth the price of admission.
Tampa Bay Times
Sean Daly
Ep 5 finally, thankfully took us into a dark storm cloud, with fixer Mike (who loves his granddaughter -- and considers killing everyone else) finally seeing his story arc creak open.
Washington Post
Rachel Lubitz
Sex toilets aside, this episode, titled "Alpine Shepherd Boy," was heartfelt, telling and, once we got more Kim in there, surprisingly tender.
We Got This Covered
Jordan Adler
Better Call Saul continues with its wry comedy and dysfunctional family drama this week, despite some odd tonal shifts between the genres.
Daily Telegraph (UK)
Ed Power
It was a portent of the more callous man likeable Jimmy will become, and a reminder that we should enjoy Better Call Saul's carefree deportment while it lasts.
Wall Street Journal
Scott Neumyer
While many of you intrepid readers will probably fall into the camp that enjoyed the Chuck McGill moments more... I actually think the comic relief was the much more interesting piece of "Alpine Shepherd Boy."
indieWire
Liz Shannon Miller
This is also the episode which made it clear what kind of show "Better Call Saul" is, at least for its first season: A profound search for identity. And that search is getting increasingly fascinating.
Rolling Stone
Sean T. Collins
It's the Mike material that sees the episode really come alive, though it does so with barely a whisper.
HitFix
Alan Sepinwall
At this point, even the more disjointed "Better Call Saul" episodes are more entertaining than many of the more polished shows I watch.
TV Fanatic
Miranda Wicker
After that amazingly well-done scene last week of Chuck in the street, it was good to see that tonight's episode would deal with the aftermath of Chuck leaving the safety of his house.
