20 TV Episodes That Are Practically Flawless
8. Better Call Saul - Chicanery
Chicanery remains the crowning achievement of Better Call Saul's near-flawless run, its intense depiction of a family implosion serving as the most pivotal development in Jimmy McGill's metamorphosis into Saul Goodman.
In a bid to prove Jimmy tampered with the evidence in his Mesa Verde case, Chuck takes to the stand to discredit his brother and save his own tattered reputation. But Jimmy once again proves to be more desperate, and saves his hide by destroying Chuck's career and their broken relationship beyond repair.
Tense and tragic, acted to heartbreaking, raging perfection by Michael McKean, Chicanery is the ultimate turning point in Jimmy's life, and a bracing example of how Better Call Saul could make him someone to root for even when he's off pulling his cruellest tricks.
