This season, like the previous one, is in no rush to get going and that's fine. It allows room to breathe, to absorb the intent of each scene. The B&W cold open is an atmospheric feast. When Jimmy finds out his brother is dead, his realistic reaction is an example of what makes this show great. He doesn't cry, he doesn't cheer. In fact, he must be wondering how to react to the death of someone who made things so difficult for him. There is sadness there though, as Jimmy clearly did care for Chuck and wouldn't have wanted him to go down this route.
We check in with Gus, Nacho and Mike, though nothing terribly important happens, not even character-wise. Clearly, development is being left for future episodes, and I wouldn't complain of being bored when BCS can make even the dullest scenes fascinating to watch. Seeing Mike get away with pretending to be someone else in the company that employs him is entertaining.
A solid, mostly stationary start to the new season.
8.3/10
