Written by series co-creator Peter Gould and directed by Michelle MacLaren, "Mijo" aired on AMC in the United States on February 9, 2015 and lasted 44 minutes and 20 seconds, one night after the series premiere. Outside of the United States, the episode premiered on streaming service Netflix in several countries.
The episode marks the first appearance of Nacho Varga (played by Michael Mando).[1] In the episode, Jimmy McGill (Bob Odenkirk) accidentally meets Tuco Salamanca (Raymond Cruz), who thinks Jimmy and his clients, twins Lars and Cal Lindholm (Daniel Levine and Steven Levine), have come to scam his grandmother (Míriam Colón). In actuality, they were attempting to scam the wife of the Bernalillo County Treasurer, Betsy Kettleman. Tuco takes the three out to the desert, where he and Nacho interrogate them. After the three get released, Jimmy works to make money in court.
