One of many remarkable things about “Saul” is how the writers have defied the common trap of prequels in that we still feel urgency even though we know that nothing too bad can happen to Saul, Mike, Gus, and now Hank because that wouldn’t line up with “Breaking Bad.” ... The truly remarkable accomplishments of “Better Call Saul” that make it arguably the best drama on TV are in the subtlety and nuance of the characters—both in terms of writing and performance.

[The first five episodes of this fifth season] provide overwhelming proof that “Better Call Saul” remains one of the best shows of any kind anywhere on television. And Odenkirk hardly is the only compelling reason to follow this series. All of the characters are intriguing. Read full review

Like Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul is not just another show about quirky characters and intriguing storylines. The people behind these two series love to make television, and it’s evident from the product. ... This is television magic, and it won’t last long. You should enjoy it while you can.

Yes, “Better Call Saul” is a double-edged sword of reward and loss, but it isn’t too sad to watch because you’re too invested to look away. If you’ve come this far with Jimmy, you have to see his journey through to the end, whether that end is with Saul, Jimmy, or Gene. Read full review

Although the prequel is running out of room, the AMC drama continues to achieve a dazzling balancing act in building toward an ending that is, in some ways, a beginning. Read full review

Feb 5, 2020

There’s the sense of the new season as one long exhale. The fall of Jimmy McGill is all but complete; now all that’s left is the rise of Saul Goodman, and we know more about the latter story than we knew about the former. Read full review

Daniel D'Addario

Feb 11, 2020

The prolonged slip from compromise into amorality makes “Better Call Saul” compelling in the long view. ... It’s hard not to wish, though, that the series, as it enters its endgame, trusted its viewers to understand that we were watching a “Breaking Bad” prequel while keeping the delicacy of this series’s mood intact, and trusted us to remember those with whom Saul will soon be associating without resurrecting them to diminished effect.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Absolutely stunning season, at the same level that Breaking Bad's fifth season. Eight years later, it makes Mike's death even more pain full. If you watch BrBa after watching BCS, you will like Walter White a lot less.

Jonathan Banks acting is indescribable. Is just a shame that he have six nominations for the Emmy e no prizes yet. In 2020, this have to change. He deserves!

Bob Odenkirk and Rhea Seehorn both impeccables in the entire season. For those that already watch BrBa and know that this union didn't last, is painfull to know that the season probably end with this breakup.… Expand

Voilà une série travaillée, avec des acteurs qui donnent tout ce qu'ils ont. Des personnages dont le trait de caractère ne se limite pas à une attirance sexuelle non binaire.

It gets dumber, less clever and less funny with every episode. After almost 5 seasons, I am ready to stop watching.
