Better Call Saul Season 6 Episode 10 Review

gamerant.com:

The following article contains spoilers for Better Call Saul season 6.

It’s practically a given that even the greatest shows out will have filler episodes, yet Better Call Saul continues to prove its worth by delivering a black and white adventure that sees Gene Takovic channel back his inner Jimmy McGill or Saul Goodman as he tries to get his con game back to take care of rather urgent business.

That is because “Nitty” sees Gene do exactly what he told Ed Galbraith a while ago, as the protagonist revives his former personas to get rid of his nosy cab driver problem with a scheme that’s only missing Kim for it to be like any other in Better Call Saul. Speaking of which, as many fans have theorized, episode 10 is the first in season 6 with a single-word title, hinting perhaps that the two-word combinations were perhaps a nod to Kim’s presence, who’s now gone for good (apparently).

Overall, “Nitty” is a heist episode, an Omaha mall heist with a much smaller loot than what Jimmy may have been used to in his former life, one planned from a Cinnabon instead of his old apartment or gaudy office, but a heist nonetheless. The initial setup involves Jeff the taxi driver’s mother, Marion (played by Carol Burnett), who Gene tracks down to offer some help after obstructing her way back home and carefully painting himself as an innocent old man looking for his dog, all quite normal given Jimmy's quite comfortable around elderly folks.

This gets him an invitation back to her house, where he ends up staying for dinner and sitting in front of his newfound threat who now seems less menacing than he did at first, something Saul picks up on right away as he devises a master plan to get him off his back.
