What’s This TV Show About?
Airing on the AMC cable channel, Better Call Saul stars Bob Odenkirk, Jonathan Banks, Michael McKean, Patrick Fabian, Rhea Seehorn, Michael Mando, and Giancarlo Esposito. This Breaking Bad prequel kicks off six years before Saul Goodman (Odenkirk) became Walter White’s lawyer. In the early 2000s, Saul is still down-on-his-luck Jimmy McGill. He’s trying to negotiate the ethical dilemmas of the legal world, emerge from his older brother’s shadow, and make a name for himself. Armed with optimism and a quick wit, Jimmy is a legitimate lawyer who often finds his ambition at odds with his moral compass.

Telly’s Take
While it has never been a huge ratings success, this critically acclaimed TV series is one of the network’s top-performing shows not involving the zombie apocalypse. Can Better Call Saul build up its audience? Will it be cancelled or renewed for a fourth season? Despite the decline in ratings, I suspect it will be renewed.

Soooo looking forward to a 4th season
Don’t cancel this. Very creative stories. Trying to find out date for first show for season 4.
I really love the show. I do not like breaking bad to be honest, I don’t watch walking dead and GOT. I enjoy better call saul because it is so unique. What is the genre? Drama, comedy, crime? I’m not sure, but it has all of that.
I love the show. It’s slow moving and very intriguing. I love the way more than one story is interwoven within the main story line. My wife hates it. To complicated for her to follow.
Renew it please.

Is one of the best series I have ever seen, the mixture of moral dilemmas with corner cutting decisions makes you enjoy every episode. I hope we have Better call Soul for long.
Please make one or two or three seasons more. It’s a great show and it can not be ended the way season 3 did
Brilliant series. Please continue for at least another season. Superb acting and top notch writing.
yayayayayayaya
It is not fair to leave us hanging. That is what I don’t like about series. I finally got around to watching two seasons on Netflix, I think, and then I recorded season 3 on AMC via my TWC/Spectrum provider. So I’m caught up in it now and really for those of us who like the show please please renew it. I don’t understand the rating system as somebody pointed out in one of these comments. If you have 1.8 million people watching on season 1 and 1.4 million people watching season two, come on! 1 million people alone watching… Read more »
