Thought it was interesting how Gus presented himself as “different” than the Salamancas to Mike. Like he’s a more “moral” drug dealer. He was initially presented that way in Breaking Bad too - but we eventually saw him slit Victor’s throat just as a move and threaten to kill Walt’s infant daughter so we know better.
