- Better Call Saul Season 6 is a masterpiece. In this video essay, I discuss why Better Call Saul is a masterpiece and why it has one of the best final seasons of TV. They stuck the landing, but the whole season has been a perfect example of how to write and execute quality television. The Breaking Bad universe has come to an end but we will remember these brilliant shows and movies for years to come. Better Call Saul Season 6 is now on Netflix. There are heavy spoilers in this video.
Better Call Saul is an American crime drama television series created by Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould. It is a spin-off, prequel, and a sequel to Gilligan's previous series, Breaking Bad. Set primarily in the early to middle part of the 2000s in Albuquerque, New Mexico, the series develops Jimmy McGill (Bob Odenkirk), an earnest lawyer and former con artist, into an egocentric criminal defence attorney known as Saul Goodman. Also shown is the moral decline of retired police officer Mike Ehrmantraut (Jonathan Banks), who becomes closely affiliated with the Juarez drug cartel to support his granddaughter and her widowed mother. Jimmy and Mike's interactions remain sporadic until their respective storylines fully converge. The upcoming sixth and final season of the AMC television series Better Call Saul is set to premiere on April 18, 2022, in the United States, and will consist of 13 episodes split into two parts. The second half of the season will premiere on July 11, 2022. The season will also be streamed on AMC+ in the U.S. and on Netflix internationally. Better Call Saul is a spin-off prequel of Breaking Bad created by Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould. Bob Odenkirk (Jimmy McGill / Saul Goodman), Jonathan Banks (Mike Ehrmantraut), Rhea Seehorn (Kim Wexler), Patrick Fabian (Howard Hamlin), Michael Mando (Nacho Varga), Tony Dalton (Lalo Salamanca), and Giancarlo Esposito (Gus Fring) will reprise their roles from previous seasons. It has been confirmed that Brian Cranston and Aaron paul's Walter White and Jessie Pinkman will also return in the final season of Better Call Saul.

BETTER CALL SAUL Is A Masterpiece - บันเทิง
I haven't been blown away by a TV show like this in a while. In my opinion, Better Call Season Season 6 has stuck the landing and the season as a whole is TV at it's very best. But that's just my opinion and I'm excited to hear yours down below. So let me know what you thought of the finale alongside the entire final season.
Why not 10/10 then?
The whole show is a masterpiece
I loved it
Let's be honest, first 2 seasons are really slow, which turned a lot of people off
@@niggardlylad2008 i disagree….they made even things that would be slow look creative so I don’t know what slowness ur talking about…..and Vince Gilligan was only co show runner until the end of season 3……everything between Jimmy and Chuck was gold there were slow episodes here and there like the season 1 finale and like 2 episodes in season 2 might not have been the most exciting but everything had a pay off and I don’t need action and murder to be entertained the brother drama and the court stuff is riveting
@@niggardlylad2008 succession is another show with nothing but crazy family drama backstabbing witty dialogue and great characters with depth it’s must see tv and there’s no action or anything……breaking bad had better pacing because it happens within 2 years and it was full of action but action doesn’t need to be there for a show or movie to be entertaining in my opinion
@@niggardlylad2008 apprently but not for me
Great props to Vince Gillian and Peter Gould for sticking with what’s fitting for this show, instead of reaching for a more “fiery” type of gunfire ending more reminiscing of Breaking Bad. That ending is great for that show, but BCS is it’s own story. Particularly coming off the heels of Breaking Bad, to dedicate six seasons to slow burn, artistic, nuanced, internal character development is just superb.
Season 6 was simply storytelling at its best.
If you don't include pacing into that equation then yes.
@@RUSEOfficial wdym, the pacing was fine by me
I was extremely satisfied with the majority of season six, the only thing that was missing was a montage of him setting up his iconic room
I never thought of this and you are so right!
Yea I always thought they would show a montage of Saul actually building his office
I really expected Jimmy to pull something amazing to get the Statue of Liberty ballon from the Kettleman's
This show is indeed a masterpiece that was able to crawl out from under the shadow of it mother masterpiece “Breaking Bad” and create its own identity. The Breaking Bad DNA is present from some characters and production techniques, but it’s its own show and not only not enhanced the BB style, but actually created its own. It was Saul’s origin story in part, and Gus and Mike were great to have back to enhance there own stories. But the non BB characters like Kim, Chuck, Nacho, Lalo, and Howard made it compelling in its own right.
I loved how the season 6 opening “Wine and Roses” segment actually foretold the upcoming finish - from the Zafiro wine stopper in the gutter, to the Saul cutout in the dumpster, the the copy of “The Time Machine” on the table. Also the finale beautifully foreshadowed each flashback - Jimmy’s wrecked car in the teaser, Gene getting Ed’s vacuum repair card and calling, and the “Exit” sign in the courtroom. Just brilliant.
Finally, recreating the smoking scene between Jimmy and Kim from the first episode to close out the series was a perfect touch. Actually the shadows fell in the same way in each scene but the light fell in different directions. And of course the added bars - incredible attention to detail. This is one of the few series that never really got lazy and cheated viewers in some way. Hopefully the Emmys will finally give this show some well-deserved love in its final season, as they did with BB and another fantastic overlooked show -“The Americans”. If there were better performances than Bob and Rhea have given I’ve yet to see them.
Its a masterpiece ! The time machine and regrets talk really caught me, when the ep ended I spent a lot of time thinking about what that meant
Getting so tired of all the superhero shows, so glad we still get shows like Better call Saul, shame it had to end
You should try Mr. Robot if you haven’t seen it yet. That show also has great characters and is very creative. It’s easily in my top 3 along with Breaking Bad, and of course Better Call Saul
@@lateam9786 Thank you, will check it out, missed it the first time it came out
there are a lot of non superhero shows, lol. Stop crying
@@user-fp2uu4nb2t No one’s crying. Superhero movies and tv shows are garbage
@@JimMacintosh not all
Jimmy became Saul, not just to bury his pain over Kim, but also to bury his guilt regarding his brother’s suicide and the death of Howard. Had Kim stayed with Jimmy, he would not have broken bad, perhaps, but would have buried his guilt regardless in the Saul persona. That said; it’s difficult to see how he and Kim COULD have stayed together in the wake of Howard’s murder. Their relationship could never have been honest.
He was on his way to being Saul long before Kim chipped. I think he would have become Saul regardless. As soon as he got involved with the cartel he was doomed.
At least, that's what I think.
It was a whole experience! Cinematography, acting, music story telling idk its one of the best television shows of all time
Its hard to find great shows like the BBU these days.
You are 💯 right!
Season 6 is a Masterpiece omg 🙊👑
thank you for the video ☺️
You're welcome 😊
Just watched the finale. In my opinion this show is better than breaking bad. Perfect from start to finish. It might be the greatest tv series of all time.
Masterclass in television, this and breaking bad
BB might very well be the better show mainly because it was lightening in a bottle and it was more exciting and everything that comes with that. Great acting, writing, directing, etc.
But in my opinion it doesn't even come close to BCS as in terms of storytelling.
Especially I'm terms of shots assigned to storytelling and film language and simply just how well thought out it was.
But both masterpieces in their own way.
Better Call Saul is simply the best show of all time. If I was forced to rate this last season I would rate it as 9.7. Three episodes are near perfect, the rest are perfect, not on their own but on what those episode do to the whole story.
Saul was breaking good. That's what made it epic.
Can we take a second to talk about Bill Oakley. It seems like he was just forgotten about at the end of the show but I’ve not seen anyone comment on how Saul kept his promise to him.
Saul mentions that this will be the case that puts him on the map and promises it’ll deliver, even though co-councillor he will get the credit for negotiating known high level criminal Saul Goodman down to 7years + exceptional benefits. Yes that’s not what Jimmy actually served but it would have been if not for his confession at the end and it’ll be Ben that gets the credit for that. Repaying all the favours Ben have Jimmy him through the seasons. Masterfully played!!!
Not a single word was wrong...right on the money...absolute masterpiece
I’m not sure how I go on to watch another series… everything else just seems mediocre at best. Since Monday I’ve kinda skipped around watching half of an episode of like a dozen different shows, kinda depressed about it. This has been my favorite show for 7 years. And it matured beyond my wildest expectations into some of the best writing, acting and cinematography that I’ve ever watched. I became more invested in BCS than I ever did with Breaking Bad and I NEVER thought in a million years that would’ve been the case. Before this show, Breaking Bad was probably the greatest TV I had ever watched…. THEN…they just upped the ante. I’ll miss it.
Great video btw 👍🏼👍🏼
Same here bro
Peaky Blinders was the show I watched after better call saul. I just finished it and it's a pretty good show, but nothing compares to BCS and Breaking Bad that I've watched so far. They say sopranos is good, so I might give that a watch in the future
No other show uses visual storytelling , music , and character development to such a high level . Just brilliant !!
Ikr! It’s like a combination of The Sopranos and Breaking Bad.
Hannibal was good at that too. Sometimes it was like watching art come alive.
Season 6 was amazing. The way it completely exceeded my ridiculously high expectations and still managed to surprise me was incredible. I rank season 4 of Breaking Bad and season 6 of BCS as the best of the entire BrBa universe.
The episode had a vibe that made it feel like a post apocalypse of the character's own making.
I agree it was brilliant nothing else even comes close
Absolutely. My top 3 would be:
Season 6 of bcs
Season 5 of bb
Season 4 of bb
@@danielamaris6367 mine would be
s5 bb
s4 bb
s5 bcs
S6 BCS could maybe rank higher that S5 for me but I do think there were a few weak moments - S5 was more consistent for me… many of the best moments of the series are in s6 tho
Mad Men
And Bob Odenkirk is absolutely amazing! I love that guy!
Peter and Vince know how to end shows
Great video. Great show.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks!
Nail biter even though we sort of knew how it would end. Jimmy, in the end, is happier in prison giving out “legal advice”and able to be himself. When he was “Gene” he was constantly looking over his shoulder, even almost having a heart attack (even as he was leaving the hospital for a false call) because the receptionist typed his social wrong.
My new favorite tv show ever
Would love to see a recap video essay on the series as a whole, going back over all of it one last time
It blows my mind that people are upset with the ending and the season overall, it had some slow episodes that were incredibly frustrating on first viewing (black and blue, nippy) but they serve their purpose, and the rest is just so thoughtful and poignant and the ending is the perfect ending in every way, this sounds pretentious but I genuinely think this show tends to go over people's heads moreso than breaking bad
The ending was not perfect, the big event that drove Kim and Jimmy apart was somewhat random and not entirely the direct result of their schemes, Lalo was killed in a way that i think was too avoidable for his character, Jimmy giving life in prison was arguably unrealistic, the Jeff the cab driver recast totally changed the character and erased one of the most anticipated ‘villains’ we were preparing for, they ‘wasted’ two episodes of the final part of the season showing Slippin Jimmy tricks that we’d already kind of been seeing. I would have preferred a more sophisticated end to Lalo, less time skips, etc. I don’t think it was bad bad, but breaking bad’s ending was flawless so we had big expectations
@@nicklowe_ your comment is based on what you wanted. I'm glad I didn't get the ending I wanted. We got the best possible ending to the story they were telling. We were in great hands.
Jimmy took the 86 years, not Saul. Jimmy redeemed himself. What's wrong with that?
It fit perfectly with all the other unrelastic elements in this Universe. Perfect storytelling.
From day 1 in breaking bad this universe was unrelastic. It's intertwined into the brand
But it's the execution that counts.
The only thing that bothered me was Jeff's recasting, it was a little rough to take however everything else was perfect, and it ended the way it should have, with Kim and JIMMY......No more Gene, no more Saul.....brought me right back to the very first episode when everyone's humanity remained intact. It was the only way to end this incredible show.
Youre right....Where BB had its symbolism, use of color, etc, BCS took all of this to the next level and put you in a position where you had to look for the last subtle detail to see how everything fit perfectly together.....Just like with other great masterpieces, there are those who go in with expectations and miss the point altogether. It flies over their heads.
An example of this, while not a TV show, but a video game would be The Last of Us Part 2......All the haters of this epic masterpiece had expectations and when Naughty Dog didn't give them what they wanted.....(even though they did, these people were clueless), man the hate flowed like lava. Misunderstanding a final product at its finest.
@@agitatedmongoose I really don't know what I 'want'. I didn't know I 'wanted' the BB ending. But after you finish a show, you're left with satisfaction or disappointment, I was left with disappointment. I don't think it's a good argument to say: so what if it was unrealistic, the whole universe is. Is about where the unrealism is focused. I'm pretty much fine with Lalo taking out all his assassins or firing perfect shots at everyone except Gus with very low lighting. I don't think it was deserved/in character for Jimmy to turn himself in like that, especially on the drop of a dime. If they wanted to go that way I think we needed a little more exposition surrounding that. So TDLR, it's naive to say I was hoping for some certain ending, and it's not a good argument to justify a show by saying 'well actually none of it makes sense'.
bro really didn't want to give easily one of the best television series a 15/10
Truly one of the most brilliant final season of a show, ever. Nowadays it's extremely hard to end a show without having a controversial, divisive ending, because no one really wants the show to end. The fact that Vince and Co. have twice nailed the ending just speaks volumes about their talent. It was a beautiful ending, Jimmy was already living as a prisoner in his life as Gene Takovic. At least in prison he can be himself, and finally has the respect of everyone around him that he craved so badly in "the real world."
I think you're spot on with the differences between the two main characters in each series. Breaking Bad looks at the Ascent of a criminal and the ruthlessness of the transformation. Better Caul Saul has always been looking for redemption, He justifies his actions on targeting a mark who he thinks deserves it. As he becomes a lawyer, he begins to try and be a good guy to make up for his past, but uses his Slipin Jimmy ways to give him the edge. He's never been a 100% good guy, but he's mainly been a scammer. Walter White was a drug lord who caused such pain and murder. I think it's fitting Jimmy is in prison but Walter ended up dead - Walter sanctioned killings but Jimmy's actions only indirectly/coincidentally ended people's lives. I think what's also key is how the final sentences differ. JIMMY gets a reduced sentence but Kim doesn't. Obviously she confessed but Jimmy ever the slipper, spun a story to reduce his own, proving that he was always the better con-person, even though at times Kyms conscience was becoming more corrupted hmthan his
Help me, I can't stop binging BCS videos. lol
It's gonna be a rough withdrawal, innit
I did a 4 minute presentation to colleagues on BCS this week. It's uncanny how we touched on the similar points, Lbeit your delivery / analysis was a lot more comprehensive. However I wholeheartedly agree this show is the epitome of a well-crafted prequel and near perfect storytelling.
No nitpicks here 10 out of 10
(or with a nod to Michael McKean in Spinal Tap, turn it up to 11!)
It was Christopher Guest who said it goes up to 11, but the sentiment was right in.
@@perisword7918 Yeah I cheated lol 😏
the ending of the show reminds me more and more of crime and punishment
I was sad to see Howard get killed I really like him and chuck
Throughout all of this, I can’t seem to find anyone that looks at this all as one story. The ABQ saga. BB, El Camino, BCS. Front to back, the greatest story ever put to screen.
"I can’t seem to find anyone that looks at this all as one story" I do.
Better Call Saul is a masterpiece!!!
0:19 You said 61 episodes. I thought there were a total of 63. Ten for each of the first five seasons, and 13 for season 6.
I know he swapped those numbers. I knew it was 63. One after breaking bad. As i could ever make such a mistake. Never. Never!
Definitely one of the best TV shows I have seen. But curious why 9.5 and 10?
There were 63 episodes not 61.
1153 off the magna carta, as if he could ever forget
BCS is the best series I've ever watched🙌💥👍♥️
Better call Saul
Love how the Saul cutout and Gene end up in a dumpster because personas can never last. The only lasting person is Jimmy himself.
Kim she has to be the most Neutral character from the Whole Breaking Bad franchise, neither evil or good while everyone else are changing themselves to good or evil
This show is poggers
It really is
When on netflix?
I'm giving this season a 12 out of 15, one before Magna Carta
OK but why does the thumbnail look like Omniman? “Think, Jimmy! Think!”
They stuck the landing not once not twice but 3 fucking times in a row that is unheard of
Best show ever
This show is what real writing looks like with an intended goal, as opposed to the Hollywood J J Abrams style of just make things up as you go along with no real goal in sight
I may be in the minority but I wish they contracted the Howard con a bit and showed us more Saul in full flight. Saul in breaking bad was just a comic delight.
Yes, you are in the minority. We didn't need to see more Saul. Watch BrBa if you want more Saul. This series was about how he became Saul, and what happened to him once BrBa made him become Gene.
The third program in the BB universe.
"The life and times of Jeff the Cab Driver " 😂
You never know, it might actually be very good 😉👍😎
AND YOU! WILL! ATONE!
10/10
If you thought bcs should have ended after fun and games you didnt understand better call saul
BrBa and BCS are Masterpieces
But what happened to Jeff?
The Sopranos, The Wire, Better Call Saul, Deadwood, Breaking Bad. Honorable mentions : Rome, Watchmen
So happy just to have a new entry
@@Daniel-yz3tq in honorable mentions ill accept, never fully accepted Buscemi portrayal
Watch mr inbetween, 👌
can’t wait for season 7, glad i don’t have to kms :)
edit:…
One of the greatest shows of all time with season 6 being one of if not the best season of television ever but one plot hole or maybe I’m just missing something where did saul/Jimmy get the diamonds from?
Saul traded his cash for diamonds as they are easier to stash and carry around. Also very easy to cash in if he needed money.
I found this - In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, circus performers, vaudevillians and the like kept their savings in "grouch bags," small leather or cloth pouches that were worn underneath clothing. Rather than actual cash, money was often kept in the form of loose diamonds, which were easily convertible into cash if necessary, usually at a pawn shop. Many times, it was in fact necessary to cash in those diamonds in-between traveling seasons, or any time when things started to get too tough and too lean. It was also insurance incase they got kicked off the show, or left of their own volition.
If there ever was a carnival barker extraordinaire, it was Saul Goodman.
I can't help thinking that Vince Gilligan has one last installment in the Breaking bad universe. Saul's life in prison would have unlimited potential for another excellent series. Any fan of Oz would know that. Just look at what they did in Breaking Bad with the ten murders in 2 minutes. Hey, I'm probably wrong, but wouldn't it be a beautiful thing? Then, again, why even contemplate trying to top what was probably the best series in modern television. I agree. A masterpiece. You've done a great job analyzing this series. Keep us posted on any future ventures you have coming.
Sure was, at times was even better then BB, that goes for the entire series.
TELL ME AGAIN!!!!- LALO SALAMANCA
Did anyone else think that Kim and Jimmy are so smart and good working together, they will find a way to get him out of prison earlier than his sentence.
Vince is trying to sell a sci-fi show at the moment so let’s cross our fingers
It's definitely one of the shows of all time. But I wanted the ending to hit me harder. Not to say the ending didn't work as a finally but I needed something a bit extra from it in order to remember it more because currently I don't feel like watching the last ep again.
63 episodes
Yes it is...
Great show. Suspension of disbelief is essential. In practice some of the cons and situations would work possibly 1 in 1000 times. The risk with the Huell con was so high. Chances are that the reality would be discovered during or after the event and both Jimmy and Kim would have been disbarred. May have been better that way...could have ended up happy together and just popping round to Howard's every so often to let his tyres down...would be a boring show though and Walt/Jesse would have needed a different lawyer.
Some people would hate me when I say that I watched the show skipping the scenes with Saul, Kim and their clients. I was far more intrigued by Gus, Mike, Nacho and the Salamancas.
You may enjoy Ozark more.
Yep Yep Yep Yep Yep
BCS had a great final 2 seasons, but it very nearly lost me many times in season 2 and 3 when it was far too slow and meandering for it to be an all time Great TV show.... I do think that for those years the writers really did not know where they were going....when they finally seemed to have an idea to focus on the show really took off brilliantly.
I get what you are saying. However, take the Wire season 2,taken alone could be seen an impotent diversion from the main story bur when seen as part of the full tapestry, is essential and indispensable. Jimmy! Mike! Gus story so languidly played out, was to my taste the best tv writing, performance and production since sopranos, the Wire and Deadwood. Breaking bad is entertainment so good it transcends its form and becomes art. Bcs is plain art, inherently imbued with inspired vision
I liked season 5 more.
I agree - season 6 had more iconic moments but s5 felt more consistent throughout
Brilliant writing IMO.
The writers managed to create a cult following so strong that even when they wanted to DESTROY Jimmy/Saul/Gene,
they did it in such a way that they, the writers,
don't cause friction or disdain from their follower audience towards them.
It's GENIUS:
How to do it without alienating the audience?
They can't destroy him directly, so......they make him destroy himself!
That there is just a stroke of creative genius.
Not only destroy him in the present, but also in the past. They try all sorts of time-machine tricks to even go as far as to destroy him in our eyes in the past.
Even if it means Gene breaking character completely.
Even if it means Saul senselessly throwing a meager 7 year sentence out of the window & get what is practically a life sentence just to see Kim.
They just can't do it themselves so to speak; so they get Saul to do it to himself.
BCS is better than BB imo.
I feel like I live in a bizarro world this season for me was so bad it ruined the whole show and I hated the ending
Why did you hate the final season?
I'm geninually interested
@@667link5 Well in short, I felt going in to the final season there were many intersting plots; Jimmy and Kim vs Howard, Lalo vs Gus and Nachos whole storyline. I expected this storyline to cumulate in some way to an epic finally but what we got was that each storyline finished one after the other and except form Nachos story and how it ended I was left utterly dissapointed. Lalo went out with a whisper instead of a bang, when I swa him die I was so shocked of how bad that shoot out was I thought it was a joke. To add insult to injury the I cant even begin to explain why I disliked so much the Jimmy and Kim storyline so much there are so much problems there in my opinion I can write an essay. Lastly the ending to Jimmys story felt hollow, he "confessed" for NO reason. Kim gained nothing from it except his honesty which she could have gotten it if he told her that in private. The sudden switch to approach to Jimmys charcter sucked, Jimmy and Saul are mixed they are not diffrent people. Saul isnt a bad guy and treating him like Walter White and Heisnberg.I was left very dissapointed
The biggest thing that makes this show great of which is seldom true nowadays is that they kept the show free of political statements and worthless roles only to fit a diversity standard and whatnot. Only good realistic drama and storytelling.
No, good writing made it great. Don't try to push anti woke shit on this show, it's great because it's writers know how to make good television. There's plenty of diversity in this show, you just don't hate it because you like the show
Clicked off cause British
Lalo is deeply bad, jimmy is not, hes just a lost soul with unappreciated mind in a grotesque system
"Jimmy became Saul Goodman to get over Kim"???? So I guy who obviously has a moral compass: saving the skateboarders from Tuco, remorse for the family of the western union guy that Lalo killed and even trying to stop Kim multiple times from going thru with the Howard scam becomes immoral BB Saul because his wife leaves him(for obvious good reason)???? No Skylar type betrayal with Ted, no being pushed around at a car wash job, no belittlement of his manhood by Hank, no taking a human life for the first time(crazy 8), no being cheated out of a billion dollar business? Clearly the writing in this show, especially when contrasted to BB was below average.
Walt wasn't cheated out of Grey Matter. It's made pretty clear than he left because Gretchen ended up with Elliott instead of him, leading him to leave of his own accord. Walt has twisted that into being "cheated". He's an incredibly flawed and twisted character. I really don't understand people who think he's some sort of hard-done by sympathetic character.
Completely baseless and contrary comment just to be contrary. Opinions don't matter if not based in fact.
You break down both shot for shot BB shouldn't even be in the same conversation.
Yes BB was lightening in a bottle and more exciting with great direction, writing, acting, etc.
But BB in terms of actual execution, people like you sound just so stupid and biased to me.
@@agitatedmongoose Why so angry?...life is too short.
@@waynesspanishjourney4192 you’re the angry one lmao
@@ultraviolettas Having an opinion that does not correspond to the herd mentality is not anger...its thinking for yourself...try it.
I'm a big fan of both Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, but the BCS finale is a bit disappointing. Saul confessing his own crimes and causing him to get 86 years in prison instead of 7 maybe dramatic, but not believable. There's no sane person would do that.
you didn't understand anything then. feelings of the soul such as sacrifice, remorse, responsibility for one's actions etc. are concepts apparently alien to you ... this is disappointing. not the ending.
@@manumaster1990 I don't believe anyone would throw away an opportunity to get much lesser punishment no matter how guilty they feel for their crime. Saul could redeem his sins by doing something good to the society after he's done his 7 year sentence. Instead, he chose to spend the rest of his life in jail, and for what? So he could earn back Kim's respect? It's not worthy of throwing his freedom away.
@@jarfath75 you did see his live when he wasn’t in prison right? its not like he was living a good live he would be just as miserable if he was out of prison
@@jarfath75 at least this way he can finally stop living with his guilt
So I totally felt this at first and, in a way, still kind of do. But I made a comment about this exact topic somewhere below. Ultimately, I think the finale shows the moment Jimmy decides to let go of the damage that Walter did to him throughout BB. Every character that Walter touched turned to ash, and those that didn't end up dead spent the rest of their lives running in fear. But Jimmy decided to find peace and stop running like the rest of them. What is unique about his arrest is that he found a place among criminals where (because of his history of criminal defense) he was actually respected. It definitely would have been more BADASS if he got away with it all and took the 7 years, but I guess, in the end, we are forced to remember that, as much as we all LOVE Saul, Jimmy does not want to be that person anymore.
I just finished a rewatch and it was even better the 2nd time. So many details I missed. For example go to season 4 episode "Quite a Ride". In the cold open Saul asks Franscesca where she is going to be on such and such day at such and such time but he is referencing the call in season 6 from the pay phone! That is just one example but yeah this show just blew me away clearly. All of the acting was stellar. I absolutely adore Rhea and her performances in this show. The things her and Bob can do in scenes that have very little dialogue is astounding. Best show ever made imo
I thought season 6 was awful. Too bad it was one of the best shows ever before that.
On a rewatch, you can skip seasons 2 and 3.
“What a sick joke”!
Sure - skip the season where he drives his brother to suicide - one of the main foundations of him becoming Saul.
hell no. seems like you skipped something else if you want to do this...
Season 3 is one of the best seasons of the show.
Season 4 was the most uneventful season
Season 6 WAS great...except for the final episode which seemed like it was written by 13 year old girl who is a fan of romance novels. In other words, it was pretty cringe worthy. 🙄
Did we watch the same show? Season 6 of BCS is an utter disappointment. Second part of it that is. It felt like such a ripoff and a rushed copout ending.
I think so. I think it is perfect. Everything makes sense. What were you expecting?
I have so much trust for the writers that I think it was because of covid.

You say exactly what I feel. I thought I was the only one in the world who feels this way. I've been getting hateful comments because I didn't really like the ending.
Well yours is a pretty unpopular opinion. I'm really biased towards BCS because I simply loved every season of it. However, I know how you feel. I watched Mr Robot and HATED the ending. I was absolutely shocked to see so many people praising it.
Love the character.. series a big disappointment.
no, it's not
Yes, it is
I love Breaking Bad
I loved BCS until this season. Season 6 ruined the entire series and even tried to pull Breaking Bad down with it.. as a Breaking Bad mega fan I was looking forward to seeing Saul Goodman in action wheeling and dealing but that never happens. We never get Saul in a show called Better Call Saul.
Better Call Saul = Disney's Star Wars
It's unwatchable garbage that only hurts the real product
Agree completely, never saw any of the Saul from Breaking Bad. Just glimpses, feels like
there is still a lot of gaps the prequel should have resolved
Go watch his Breaking Bad scenes then lol
@@markc8329 yea the problem is it’s two really different people, and writers tried to make it work but came up a little short w the transition to me
we have seen enough of Saul in the Breaking Bad timeline
But some episodes this season I thought were really good
This show sucks
