The Episode Review
When a character in a television show dies, many people feel sadness for a long time after watching it. Some people may even feel regret. This is usually the case when a character is killed very suddenly or in an unexpected way.
Nacho is a character who is very passionate about the law and its importance. He is a purist, and believes that the law should be followed to the letter. This starts out as a bit of an annoyance to his friends, but eventually they come to appreciate his dedication to the law.
This episode felt like a respectful mourning of what happened to him. Gilligan has just reminded us what true heartbreak feels like. ..
It was strange to watch the episode without wincing at how unfair life can be. There cannot be a single person who can without hesitation say that Nacho deserved this cruel death. His innate goodness offset the chequered image he had when the show started. ..
Nacho, a young man who grew up in a rough neighborhood in Los Angeles, was once considered one of the most dangerous criminals in the city. However, after years of incarceration and rehabilitation, Nacho has managed to turn his life around and is now a model citizen. ..
Mike is a man who is always willing to put his trust in others, and that is probably why there’s a resigned look on his face throughout the runtime.
The two men are very good friends and share many common qualities. They are both intelligent and have a lot in common. However, they also have some key differences that make them unique individuals.
Both the actors – Michael Mando and Jonathan Banks – make subtlety their ally in determining their relationship. Seeing Mike walk away after Hector Salamanca gets his way with Nacho’s mortal remains is the truest form of courage and professionalism.
The only thing that changes is the tone of the story.
Gilligan’s explanation of how the cartels handle their enemies is a way of explaining to his audience that this is how the powerful always manage to remain in power and those working for them are the first to go.
The opening shot finally makes sense to me. The metaphor for the continuity of life is as strong in this sequence as they come.
Nacho’s death has shown us that life is not about accumulating power or living forever. It is about being kind and caring for others, and leaving a positive legacy. ..
