Better Call Saul Season 5, Episode 3: ‘The Guy for This’ Review
It begins with an ant. As Alpine yodeling band Jodlerklub Bärgblüemli Schattdorf’s ‘Jänzigrat-Jüz’ (say that five times fast) plays, the insect scuttles toward the towering wreckage of the ice cream cone Saul (Bob Odenkirk) dropped at the end of last week’s episode.
