Better Call Saul - Season 6
The end of Better Call Saul is an excellent reason to start Breaking Bad again, which is one of the biggest compliments this series can get.
Just like Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul also knows how to stop at the climax. What is striking is that the opening scenes of the thirteen episodes are increasingly similar to those of Breaking Bad. Sometimes as a viewer, you don't really know why this scene was chosen to open with. That only becomes clear when the episode is (almost) over. Furthermore, the characteristic eye for detail in this sixth season is again sublime. The strange but very effective camera angles are the icing on the already very tasty cake. As far as I'm concerned, the highlight is the camera on the moving chair.

All this helps to make the already strong story even better. The metamorphosis from Jimmy to Saul is completed with this last part. The ending shows more than you probably expect beforehand. The story is not just a prequel to Breaking Bad. With some characters, it is clear where and how they will end up because this is told in Breaking Bad. Other characters, such as Kim Wexler, provide surprises. One comes off better than the other. The evolving relationship between Kim and Jimmy takes center stage this season.

Both series succeed in turning something small into something big. It also succeeds in making something unusually small and normal. Brutal violence is presented as the most normal thing in the world. Manipulation, abuse of power and cunning are inextricably linked to the story. It belongs to the environment in which Jimmy moves. The sound of tools is used to give a scene more body. The use of color in the images is remarkable. Mixing color and black and white is often done, but not in this way. There are more striking extras that make watching Better Call Saul special.

Better Call Saul can be seen separately from the original story. Yet they are both dependent on each other. When you watch Better Call Saul before Breaking Bad you know a number of characters who are still brought as a surprise in Breaking Bad. Better Call Saul ensures that a number of characters are further explored. That doesn't just apply to Jimmy McGill becoming Saul Goodman. In the last season, for example, even more acquaintances pass by who have made a name for themselves thanks to Breaking Bad. It is tastefully done and, as far as I'm concerned, ensures that the story is concluded even better.It is not for nothing that Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul score high on building (ordinary and unusual) characters

Of course, a series is also about the story and acting. Anyone who has seen Breaking Bad or Better Call Saul knows that this is perfectly fine. The sixth season is a high-quality conclusion. It fits into the overall picture. Both series don't actually have a weak season. Not even a weak episode. Sometimes it takes a little more time to understand what's going on. The action and speed do not serve as the main form of appeal. There is room for rest, contemplation, and detail. However, the series just as easily switches to moments of intense tension and brutal violence. Always in favor of the story. It is not for nothing that Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul score high on building (ordinary and unusual) characters.The sixth season is a high-quality conclusion
