We’ve seen her take steps to recover her love of the law, trading her professional independence for the opportunity to take on more pro bono work and drag herself out from under the drudgery of being Mesa Verde’s sole legal counsel. That’s particularly true of Kim this week. 90 per cent of Jimmy’s plans involve burner phones After all, real life is rarely predictable and for all their extraordinary scenarios, part of what makes Better Call Saul and The Americans so compelling is that the characters’ reactions to those scenarios might not be what you anticipated, but they always feel genuine. But, to be generous to both myself and the talented showrunners and writers behind The Americans and Better Call Saul, that could be more down to the superb unpredictability of these shows than my own dumb brain.

I’ll admit that for someone who reviews TV for a living, I suck at guessing where a show is headed.
