The Top 10 Television Episodes of 2017 (Time)
8. Better Call Saul, “Chicanery,” AMC Better Call Saul’s particular gift for moral ambiguity hit a high point with this episode, in which two characters’ face-off leaves the viewer sympathetic for, and skeptical of, both. During a bar association hearing that could end the career of crooked lawyer Jimmy (Bob Odenkirk), his brother Chuck (Michael McKean) seems at first coolly assured; the purportedly ill Chuck loses his balance, though, when Jimmy reveals a ploy that exposes his malady to be psychosomatic. The back-and-forth between two estranged brothers, each bringing a sense of joy to their determination to ruin the life of the other, is rivetingly clever. It’s also heartbreaking, revealing yet another missed opportunity for Jimmy to be the good, ethical person he’s coming to realize he’ll never be. – Daniel D’Addario

Better Call Saul: “Chicanery” Director: Daniel Sackheim Director of Photography: Marshall Adams
“Sackheim had himself a pretty great year, didn’t he? Saul, like Breaking Bad before it, is always one of TV’s best-composed series, and always in a way where the visuals are supporting the characters and theme. Case in point: at the end of a courtroom hearing where Jimmy McGill not only exposes his brother Chuck’s alleged electrical allergy as a mental illness, but that Chuck has been pursuing a petty vendetta against him, the room’s exit sign (the one electrical item that couldn’t be turned off for the hearing) looms incredibly large over this once-mighty man who has been revealed to be very small and powerless.” – Alan Sepinwall
