Season 3 Review: Based on the first two episodes, Saul is making a case that it could be even better than “Breaking Bad” (and do brush up on your Bible stories). Read full review

Season 6 Review: The moral complexity in “Better Call Saul” has long been one of its greatest strengths, and, after these two episodes, it certainly doesn’t feel like the show is going to eschew that for simple resolutions as it gets to the finish line. Read full review

Season 6.5 Review: As it nears its climax, and we ponder not if but how they’ll stick the landing, Better Call Saul’s steady rise to the giddy heights of all-time classic television drama feels inexorable. Read full review

Season 1 Review: [A] marvelously original and instantly engrossing hybrid of origin story, prequel, and spinoff. [1-15 Feb 2015, p.16]

Season 4 Review: Old dynamics flip, long-gestating character studies pay off, and feelings geyser up in surprising places. Read full review

New York Magazine (Vulture)

Season 1 Review: The result is a conventional drama lit, shot, and edited with maximum cinematic oomph, in ways that tease out or add meanings that might not have been carried by dialogue and performance alone. Read full review

Season 1 Review: By the third episode of the three sent to critics, the bits and pieces of apparent flotsam from the earlier episodes have begun to form a direction for Better Call Saul and as they do, the series becomes less a comedy and more a serious exploration of a Falstaffian character who may be much more than the buffoon he seems on the surface.

Better Caul Saul is a very worthy prequel to Breaking Bad, in my eyes it is even better than Breaking Bad. I never get bored, while looking Better Caul Saul, unlike Breaking Bad.

It's funny, but I remember being bored by this show the first time I tried watching it. And even on my second watch, I can see how the first season might feel like a drag at times. I think the forced connection to BB keeps the show on chains at the beginning. But once it breaks these chainsIt's funny, but I remember being bored by this show the first time I tried watching it. And even on my second watch, I can see how the first season might feel like a drag at times. I think the forced connection to BB keeps the show on chains at the beginning. But once it breaks these chains it turns into some of the best TV ever. Great characters, great acting, great chemistry and absolutely superb writing by the best of their craft.… Expand

possibly the best show ever.
There isn't a slow season in this whole show, the performances are top notch, the visuals and cinematography is some of the best on television, and the script is the best script for a show.

If Breaking Bad is the lines/border of the book, than Better Call Saul (the prequel) is the color. The storytelling, and writing is just as quality as the predecessor.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. this score is only for the series finale otherwise its 9 out 10 .. im giving the season 13 finale 0 why 0 because it was terribly forced .. a very bad ending and utterly stupid everyone who knew Saul would agree that he wouldn't accept 86 years just to feel good and not guilty... he was a character above guilt and other things that was his superpower .. to decline 7 years just to save Kim and not guilty about his past behavior was the dumbest decision of the writers so war and they earned this 0 point .. lastly only a drama queen would have wrote this ending its that terrible..… Expand
