List of episodes

"Chicanery" is the fifth episode of the third season of the AMC television series Better Call Saul, the spinoff series of Breaking Bad. The episode aired on May 8, 2017, on AMC in the United States.

In the episode, the New Mexico Bar Association hears an argument over whether Jimmy McGill (Bob Odenkirk) should be disbarred over sabotaging a business partnership made by his brother, Chuck (Michael McKean). Jimmy and his co-counsel, Kim Wexler (Rhea Seehorn), attempt to prove that he lied on tape about sabotaging the deal in order to make Chuck feel better about his alleged condition of electromagnetic hypersensitivity.

Outside of the United States, the episode premiered on streaming service Netflix in several countries. It received universal critical acclaim, with many reviewers considering it the best episode of the series at its release.^[1]
