At long last, Netflix subscribers can watch the final season of AMC’s hit drama Better Call Saul, the Breaking Bad prequel spinoff that somehow managed to be just as good as the original masterpiece.
The final season was no exception. Season 6 offered up some of the finest episodes of the entire six-season run, though I admit I was the TV critic who killed the show’s perfect Rotten Tomatoes score over one episode that I really didn’t enjoy.
That’s the way it goes sometimes. Even a near-perfect show has its misses. Even Breaking Bad had a couple less-than-stellar offerings. In the end, I thought the story of Jimmy McGill / Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk) and the misfits he encountered along the way—Kim Wexler (Rhea Seehorn), Mike (Jonathan Banks), Nacho (Michael Mando), Howard (Patrick Fabian) and so many other great characters—was brilliant. The series finale made me cry. In my finale review I wrote:
I can think of few hours of television that compare. This was the perfect finale to a show that, with only the rarest of exceptions, has earned its place among the greatest of all time.
By the end of ‘Saul Gone’ I found myself moved to tears, affected deeply and profoundly in ways I don’t yet fully understand. As I type this now, I admit that feeling hasn’t yet passed. What a rare thing these days, in this crowded TV landscape littered with every imaginable kind of
entertainment, to find oneself weeping over a keyboard.
Sure, like everyone else I’m sad that this show has come to an end. But it’s more than that.
Now, Better Call Saul’s sixth and final season is at last heading to Netflix this coming April. The exact date: April 18th, 2023. That’s the same day as the show’s sixth season premiere, which landed on AMC on April 18th, 2022. The finale aired on August 15th, 2022.
All 13 episodes of Better Call Saul will drop at once on Netflix next month, so buckle up for one last ride with Slippin’ Jimmy and finally find out what happens to our favorite scumbag lawyer. Get ready for some great cameos also, and some wonderful surprises.
Bob Odenkirk is also starring in the new AMC show Lucky Hank, which just debuted last week.
Also coming to Netflix next month: Seven Kings Must Die, the new Last Kingdom movie. Which reminds me I really need to catch up on The Last Kingdom’s last season!
