Recensione in evidenza
This episode was just the perfect ending to this perfect show. But I'm not gonna talk about the spoiler stuff that happened in this finale, I'll dedicate this finale's review to the appreciation of the whole show.
This show proves that when you have brilliant writers like Peter Gould and Vince Gilligan, even a spin-off can be better than the original, and not just a spin-off of a decent show, a spin-off of a masterpiece that many consider to be the best tv show of all time. It's not an easy task but they nail it.
Watching this show after Breaking Bad, it becomes obvious to you how much their writing, which is brilliant enough before, has gotten even better and how masterfully every minute of this show is written. And this is the reason why I consider Better Call Saul to be better than Breaking Bad and be one of, if not the best show ever. It's the best show I've seen yet anyway.
Everything in this show is just brilliant, the writing, direction, acting, amazing editing, and transitions.
The acting from pretty much everyone in this show is just top-notch. Bob Odenkirk, Rhea Seehorn, Jonathan Banks, Patrick Fabian, Michael McKean, Tony Dalton, Michael Mando, and of course Giancarlo Esposito are all just amazing in this show. Rhea Seehorn has got to be one of the best actresses I've ever seen and her acting in this show is just Godly. Bob Odenkirk is just brilliant in this show and just like Walter White, we see him evolve - more like devolve - in this show and he even goes further than WW/Heisenberg and gives us three completely different characters for one person. Michael Mando gives his best performance in this show and he's great too.
Tony Dalton's Lalo is just an iconic and legendary character and probably the best villain in both BB and BCS that will never be forgotten. And it says a lot about the brilliant writing of this show that no matter in what movie or show you've seen these actors before, when you watch BB and BCS, these actors forever will be Walter, Jesse, Saul, Mike, Howard, Kim, Gus, and Lalo to you. It doesn't matter if you've seen Lalo's actor in 20 movies and shows before, after watching even the first 3 episodes he's in, you'll just remember the actor as "Lalo" forever. That's how brilliant the writing of these characters and the actors that portray them are.
It is just simply unbelievable what they have achieved and created by just a throwaway line in Breaking Bad and how they wrote Lalo and Nacho in this show.
I cannot lick the balls of the writing of this show enough.
This show might be slow burn compared to Breaking Bad, but it's as, or even more engaging than Breaking Bad. The brilliant editing, transitions, and montages, as well as the great cinematography just make this show 10x better.
The music might not be as noticeably good or memorable as the music Ramin Djawadi did for GOT or does for Westworld, but it is still a great soundtrack and makes the scenes better.
This show is more of a character study than an action-packed adrenaline-fueled show like Breaking Bad, but that's what makes it so good.
This show will go down as one of the, if not the best shows in history, and we will probably never get a drama show as brilliantly written, acted, directed, and edited as this show.

The final shot caught me off guard but the more I let it sink in, the more I appreciate the subtle and poetic nature of the ending.
Great callbacks to previous seasons as well. Overall, extremely well done and one of the best episodes of the series.

.. I would go back to.2015 to enjoy this masterpiece again. From the fist to the last espiosode.
Thanks to everybody involved on making this show!!.
I was afraid that I´d need more after watching the finale...but it was perfect. Had it all. That´s the end. The best bitterseet sensation I ever had.

This show was never ment to go out like your usual TV show! Instead it is a thought-provoking experience that will leave you thinking and admiring the journey of the characters!
Personally i cant imagine a different finale! Overall i am sad that one of the best written TV shows has come to an end! It never felt like a spin-off or prequel but became its own thing!
Saul Goodman also turned into one of the best written characters on TV along with Walter White and Eren Yeager!

If there's one constant throughout Better Call Saul, the beating heart of the series, the ever-lit flame, it has always been Kim Wexler and Jimmy McGill. These final few episodes have been tough to watch. To put it simply, it's hard to think of two greater characters that have ever been crafted in the history of this medium. Across cinema, literature and television. And with this series finale, their story is concluded in a manner that is entirely fitting.
I'm struggling to find the words to describe, with complete accuracy, how I currently feel. I'm filled with joy and sadness in equal amounts. Seven years of intricately written, emotionally dense, raw and heartbreaking plotlines reached their inevitable conclusions and, for many, this will be tough to take. Envisioning the future of television without Better Call Saul seems despairing but I hope that it will inspire creators far and wide to craft their own stories, in the hope that it can hold a solitary cigarette light to the stellar brilliance of this show.
This is a series that will be studied for years. I extend every ounce of gratitude within me to the cast and crew responsible for delivering this story with such consistent excellence straight to my television screen. Year in, year out. It is a show that will linger in my mind forever. For those who live and breathe cinema, like myself, I hope you share this feeling.
With that, there's nothing left to say. Even though we've reached our final "showtime, folks!", the flame of Better Call Saul still rages on. With this show, it's one of the only colours left in an often bleak-looking world.

With the final moments of Better Call Saul, we say goodbye not only to one of the greatest TV shows of all time, nor merely to the Breaking Bad/Vince Gilligan Universe. With this series finale, we say farewell to the Golden Age of Television altogether. The flickering flame of the designated 'golden age' has been slowly dying out for many years now, despite an abundance of choice more so than any other time in history. There's still some great shows out there (a few even brilliant) but Better Call Saul's climax officially closes the book on an era of truly cinematic long-form storytelling; shows crafted with artistic excellence across the board, pitch perfect performances and casting, and Shakespearean character arcs with the core of Greek Tragedies.
Bob Odenkirk deserves comprehensive acclaim for capturing his singular character's many nuances and personality polarities across two seperate shows, and successfully navigating this program from courtroom black comedy, to a profoundly dark, introspective tragedy. Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould are true Gods of the televisual medium, presenting a finale so powerfully percipient and well-crafted, that - against literally all odds - ends the franchise which has percolated throughout the public consciousness since 2008 perfectly.
A show-stopping conclusion to an extraordinary show, Better Call Saul will earn its rightful place next to its predecessor as one of 'Televisions Greatest Works'. Exceptional in every creative department, written to precision, directed to sublimity, performed to transcendence.
We now enter a new era post-Golden Age of Television. Bravo Vince and Peter.

Wow. Just wow. Seven years of groundbreaking television have come to an end. There was no better way to end this show that has brought us joy, sadness, and anxiety. The ending makes so much sense. The writers have done something we won't see again for a while. Jimmy McGill is the best written character ever. His transition and evolution throughout this whole series have been mesmerizing to watch. Yes, some episodes were unclear and slow, but everything makes so much sense in the end.
The flashbacks are masterfully executed and add significantly to the story. It's not just cheap nostalgia bait - it deepens the story. It's unbelievable how well the continuity is in Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. They go along so well!

The show ends on a note that fits Better Call Saul perfectly, it's not flashy or bold, it's poignant and makes you think about how far everything has gone for all these characters, the ending will take a lot of time to unpack for me personally, but it was suitable.

The end of one of the greatest shows of all time. Truly a masterpiece from start to finish. The character journey of Jimmy McGill to Saul Goodman to Gene Takovic is nothing short of remarkable. Great job to all involved in the show.

Breaking Bad was the best show ever, and Better Call Saul did everything better, start to finish.
Some fans will hate this finale (see the other reviews), but it pretty much played out exactly as fans predicted on the Reddit threads which, here, is a good thing. They didn't pull out anysubversion. Instead, it payed off every thread that's been set up since season 1 that hasn't yet been tied.
The episode had a great framing device about regrets which has been a prevailing since the first episode where Gene looks back at his old commercials. The show plays out like a tragedy about the slow demise of Jimmy McGill facilitated by a slew of avoidable mistakes. The series finale does a stellar job reflecting on that and ties it all together wonderfully.

You probably won't believe this but I was probably one of the only people on the planet who did not watch Breaking Bad unti recently - and it's 2023!
And full disclosure - I am a grandma, so there's that!
And despite all the rave reviews & hooplah, I just didnt think I would like it. The violence, the drugs.
But for whatever reason, I FINALLY took the plunge and watched the entire show. And I LOVED it! Obviously, I had to watch Better Call Saul next and I just finished. Last night. And oh - I've rewatched the ending now 3 times. I did not want to miss a thing!
I'm at a loss as to how to fully explain this series as a gazlillion other reviewers have done. Yes, BCS is perhaps slower than BB, but the character development was superb. You will fall in love with - or love to hate - each of the main characters.
All along, I kept dreading the finale. Not only because of the affection I had for Jimmy/Saul and Kim, but I was afraid the ending would ruin the entire series as many season finales often do. But my fears were unfounded. Better Call Saul's ending was fantastic! I could not have asked for a better finale.
If you are one of the few people who have not seen this show in its entirety, do yourself a favor. Watch! This ole' granny assures you - you will love it.
