Breaking Bad spinoff Better Call Saul wrapped its six-season run on AMC Monday night. After the 63rd and final episode aired, star Bob Odenkirk took to Twitter to offer his thanks and an attempt at describing his state of mind in bidding farewell to the eponymous Saul Goodman and the show itself. “It’s a mystery to me how it even happened,” he said, in the emotional and heartfelt video (see it in full below).

Throughout the series finale of AMC’s “Better Call Saul,” our deeply flawed, often immoral and occasionally sympathetic protagonist keeps asking figures from his past what they’d do if they had a time machine. First, it’s Mike Ehrmantraut (Jonathan Banks), who rues the day he first took a bribe and began down the path that led him to become an entirely different man.

Better Call Saul didn’t seem like such a great idea at first. Did we really need a whole spinoff for the crooked lawyer Bob Odenkirk played on Breaking Bad? Was series creator Vince Gilligan beating a dead horse in the New Mexico desert? Smash-cut to the present—the memory of that skepticism is as foggy as Saul Goodman’s moral code. Today, it’s almost become a cliché to suggest that Saul might actually be better than Breaking Bad.

The actor Bob Odenkirk has spoken about his collapse on the set of Better Call Saul, saying that if his colleagues had not performed CPR on him he would have been “dead in a few minutes”. Odenkirk, 59, was shooting the final season of the Breaking Bad prequel in New Mexico when he collapsed due to a heart attack last year. Crew members called an ambulance, which took him to hospital for emergency surgery to clean out the artery that the actor called “the widowmaker”.

The scribe reveals part of the hour was shot in secret months before the rest of the episode.

As far as TV spin-offs go, Better Call Saul has always retained a respectful distance from its parent series, Breaking Bad. Sure, the Bob Odenkirk-starring crime thriller has been happy, over the years, to introduce characters and plotlines from the original series, fulfilling its prequel duties—but showrunners Peter Gould and Vince Gilligan have always made it clear that, if the show needed a bunch of scenes of Walter White being the guy who knocks to justify its existence, it wouldn’t really be the show they wanted to make.

Chris and Andy are joined by Better Call Saul showrunner Peter Gould to talk about the making of tonight’s defining episode (11:17), why Better Call Saul could not exist without Breaking Bad (28:13), and how he’s feeling as the show is coming to an end (45:03).

The Breaking Bad spin-off has been excellent since it debuted in 2015. As the series wraps up, the final episodes will determine just how great a show Better Call Saul ends up being.

Better Call Saul boss Peter Gould has revealed that he almost scrapped the final season of the show following star Bob Odenkirk’s health scare in 2021. Odenkirk suffered a heart attack after collapsing on set while filming the final season in 2021. His condition remained publicly unclear for the 24 hours that followed.

“Ozymandias” is the greatest episode of television of all-time. That’s according to IMDb users, at least. The Rian Johnson-directed, Moira Walley-Beckett-written season five episode of Breaking Bad (which we were lucky enough to see being filmed) is the only episode of any show with a perfect 10 out of 10 rating on the online database. Other episodes have gotten close to matching it, however, including the midseason finale of Better Call Saul.

Award shows are stupid, acting shouldn’t be a competition, etc. But come on: it’s a crime, one that even Lalo wouldn’t commit, that Better Call Saul star Rhea Seehorn hasn’t been nominated for an Emmy. She’s on arguably the best show on TV, giving inarguably the best performance. I’d say “it’s time,” but it’s been time since season one.

Better Call Saul may have begun as the reverse-engineered story of Slippin’ Jimmy McGill (Bob Odenkirk) and his gradual metamorphosis into Breaking Bad’s cartoonish cartel lawyer Saul Goodman (and later Cinnabon manager Gene Takovic), but it quickly advanced beyond a sustained focus on its male protagonist’s predetermined arc. Audiences quickly became as invested—if not more so—in the developing story of whip-smart attorney Kim Wexler (Rhea Seehorn), Jimmy’s loyal friend and eventual romantic partner, both in and out of crime.

How would “Better Call Saul” co-creators Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould describe the series’ hotly anticipated final season? “Fucking amazing,” Gilligan told Variety on the red carpet at last week’s premiere at the Hollywood Legion Theater, while Gould offered: “Holy fucking shit.”

'Better Call Saul' season six is pulling out the big guns - or should that be big meth-making camper trucks - as two more 'Breaking Bad' characters are teased to be making a return to the franchise in guest appearances.

Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul have been confirmed for the final series of Better Call Saul. Actor Bob Odenkirk will reprise his role as Jimmy McGill/Saul Goodman in the sixth and final season of Better Call Saul this month before the Breaking Bad spin-off TV series wraps after seven years.

Bob Odenkirk never liked Saul Goodman — but Jimmy McGill has grown on him. Ahead of the final season of “Better Call Saul,” the “Breaking Bad” vet opened up to Variety about wrapping up the character 13 years after it was introduced to the world. In short: his feelings are complicated.

The 'Breaking Bad' prequel returns in April to AMC, while sister network IFC will debut a new season of 'Documentary Now!' later in the year.
