Rarely is a TV show’s last season at its best, but with their finales, Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul succeeded in doing just that.
TV programmes rarely have their finest season towards the end, but Breaking Bad and its spin-off Better Call Saul succeeded in making their last seasons among their best.
The TV show Breaking Bad transformed television storytelling by emphasising the transformation of its main character, thereby challenging the established quo. Walter White changed from a polite chemistry instructor to a vicious drug kingpin in the course of five seasons.
A similar transformation was shown in its spin-off, in which Jimmy McGill, an upright lawyer, became Saul Goodman, a criminal lawyer. The stories of these two shows were expertly wrapped up in their last seasons.
Better Call Saul’s ability to surpass Breaking Bad is a credit to the creative brilliance of Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould, as most TV spin-offs fall short of the original series’ enchantment.
Better Call Saul is a better television show in several respects. The ideal conclusion was reached in both shows, which is one thing they had in common. The faultless finales of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul are even more remarkable in a world full of underwhelming ones like Quantum Leap, Gossip Girl, Pretty Little Liars, and Two and a Half Men.
Better Call Saul & Breaking Bad Both Had Impressive Final moments.
The majority of television programmes either conclude with a contentious series finale, as in the case of The Sopranos or Dexter, or have a poorly received final season, as in the case of Game of Thrones. Many critics were upset by how the show’s long-running mysteries were resolved in the Lost series finale.
An unexpected end was brought to a beloved character in Ozark’s series finale. In order to allow Ted and Robin to have the most foreseeable possible ending, the controversially named mother was murdered off in How I Met Your Mother. Satisfying a global fan base with a TV show’s finale is almost unattainable.
successfully defied the norm of underwhelming TV finales by delivering conclusions that were warmly welcomed by viewers and critics alike. The Walter White saga came to a fittingly tragic end in Breaking Bad’s final season.
In a heartwarmingly bittersweet fashion, the last season of Better Call Saul offered the much-awaited resolution to the riddle of what happened to Jimmy after Breaking Bad and what happened to Kim during Breaking Bad. Both times, the antihero received their just desserts—death in Walt’s case and life in prison in Jimmy’s—and the narrative felt fully resolved.
Will there be a season 7.
You may not have heard from AMC that Better Call Saul’s sixth season will be its last if you’ve only lately become interested in the show. Is there any possibility, nevertheless, that it will receive an unexpected renewal given its popularity? Here is all the information you need to learn about Better Call Saul: 7th Season
Unfortunately, there isn’t a set release date for Better Call Saul: Season 7. Even if we long for more Saul, it seems improbable that Better Call Saul will receive a second season renewal. However, it still succeeded in ending on its own terms as opposed to being unceremoniously cancelled by its network.
Vince Gilligan, the creator of the television series, said, “You have to know when to leave the party,” during an interview with Hollywood Reporter. The person with the lampshade over his head is not someone you want to be.
I need to convince myself that I’m more than just a one-trick pony, even if I know that I was asked the same question and responded in the same way at the conclusion of Breaking Bad.
Thus, even if the show is performing well, Gilligan believes it’s time to move on and doesn’t want to remain too long. He did, however, mention that he could see himself returning to the Breaking Bad universe in the future, suggesting that spin-offs are likely.
