BETTER CALL SAUL SCRAWL: GETTER BETTER WITH EPISODE 104 HERO
![]() |
E4: HERO Grade: B+ |
And finally, we the audience have a place to almost worship. For Jimmy McGill has true purpose in life. And yet he still struggles with being a perfectly honest dishonest lawyer. And the storyline in HERO, Episode Four, is beginning to straighten things out.

Being a serial, there are particular elements finally worth waiting for: Jimmy’s only real customer, Nacho, although seeming a contrived BAD throwback, has a genuinely lethal persona. Best yet, through this threat we know Mike will have Jimmy’s back, and could get out of that booth and actually do something. And last but not least, those seemingly perfect yuppies, The Kettlemans. Of the crazy drug dealers and lowlifes Jimmy deals with, this upper class suburban couple, thinking they’re too good for his slimy services, hold an extremely important element, and what Jimmy wants more than anything: legitimacy as a lawyer. Yet the true villain is his brother's former partner, a high class lawyer who sets the theme for this entire episode. Which includes two dopey young cameramen, the mental equivalent of the skateboard shysters from last time. Jimmy lecturing dimwitted punks is a reoccurring theme.
So for now, BETTER CALL SAUL isn’t trying too hard, and let’s hope this course continues. Even the movie references are improving. THE THING. Kurt Russell. Good call. Although that reference wasn’t from Saul. Better give his Girl Friday some credit.
