Better Call Saul, over a course of 5 seasons and fifty episodes is one of the most widely watched and revered shows on American television. It’s been 2 years since the fifth season of Better Call Saul and fans have been waiting for the finale since then. Produced by Sony Pictures Television, the crime-drama’s new and unfortunately finale season official trailer has just been dropped ahead of it’s 18th April, 2022 release.
Better Call Saul is largely known as a sequel to Vince Gilligan’s iconic series Breaking Bad, also created by Gilligan and Peter Gould. Set amidst early and mid-2000s in Albuquerque, New Mexico, the show centres around Jimmy McGill played by Bob Odenkirk, an earnest lawyer and former con artist and his evolution into an egoistic criminal defense attorney known as Saul Godman. There is also another story-line revolving around a retired police officer Mike Ehrmantraut played by Jonathan Banks who gets affiliated to Juarez drug cartel to support his family. In further seasons both the individual story-lines merge and fully converge. The show premiered on February 8th, 2015 and will air it’s sixth and final season split into two parts, with the first part premiering on April 18th and latter by June 11th, 2022.
The trailer begins with a paranoid Kim asking Jimmy, “Do you ever feel like you’re being followed?”. What follows is glimpses of Jimmy embracing his Saul Goodman persona with elan and confidence unlike previous seasons. But that comes…at a cost. We are shown plenty of chaos following Jimmy with him getting into all sorts of trouble from every direction. It’s also interesting to note that the timeline of events in Better Call Saul are finally fusing with the key events of Breaking Bad, so we are most likely going to see connections between the two in the finale season.
The trailer ends with Mike gathering guns and money for a big showdown and he says “whatever happens next, it’s not gonna go down the way you think it is.”
Now that is what we call a kick-ass trailer. A show is remembered by how iconic is it’s finale. Breaking Bad itself is a living evidence to support our argument and Game Of Thrones being the anti-thesis to the same. With a great final season, we can expect the show to eventually be hailed as a better series than even Breaking Bad. We can’t wait for the finale and we hope, that the final season delivers. That would only be a befitting ode to the fantastic cast and crew of Better Call Saul. All the five seasons are now streaming on Netflix.
