bodies remains unknown. Reception The character of Lalo Salamanca and Tony Dalton's performance have received critical acclaim, with some critics deeming him as one of the best villains on television. Reviewing the episode that introduces Lalo, Alan Sepinwall of Rolling Stone said Dalton "makes a solid first impression in the role" and hoped for "more than filling in a blank most viewers had long since forgotten existed". Sepinwall calls the final scene in "Bad Choice Road", in which Lalo confronts Jimmy and Kim, one of the best in the series. He praises the lead actors' performances, particularly Rhea Seehorn as Kim and Dalton as Lalo. Steve Greene of IndieWire, after comparing Lalo to the character Anton Chigurh from the film No Country for Old Men, noted he has "the unpredictability of his impulsive, petulant brother combined with the faux geniality of his chicken CEO rival" and praised Dalton's performance: "Dalton makes that poisonous, affected smile work, especially when it's coupled with Lalo's blatant disregard for bodily harm". Brian Grubb of Uproxx wrote in his review of the season five finale, "It is almost unreasonable how good a character Lalo is. To pull this off after five seasons of this show and the full run of Breaking Bad, to just up and introduce someone this charming and evil and perfect, is basically showing off".
