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.

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.

This is a truly awesome series in every way! Please, don’t cancel, and, please, give it’s appreciative audience Season 4!
This is truly a masterpiece and far exceeding expectations of tv series viewers across the globe….
Truly a well deserving and a perfect salutation to another masterpiece The mighty Breaking Bad….
Am going to miss it when the season 3 gets over….. Nevertheless impatiently looking forward to the new seasons in coming years if not days…
Please don’t cancel!!!
I love this show. Please make season 4 …..
I’m not quite as sold on “better call Saul” as I was with “Breaking Bad”…but nothing may ever compare to Breaking Bad for me. Still one of my favorites. I hope they keep the episodes coming and we get to see how Saul’s story weaves with the “Heisenberg.”
I LOVE THIS SERIES. DO NOT….I REPEAT….DO NOT CANCEL THIS SHOW.
This series is excellent, and I just hope it is renewed. IN actuality, I’ve recently had 3 straight nights of enjoyable TV:
Better Call Saul Season 3 on Mondays
The Americans Season 5 on Tuesdays (Season Finale was last night)
Fargo Season 3 on Wednesdays
It was good of AMC to not have Episode 8 on this past Monday, as it was Memorial Day weekend. Instead, they had a recap of all 7 episodes so far. Hopefully, that will boost the ratings for Episode 8 and beyond.
Not only should BCS be renewed, it should also be expanded to at least 13 episodes. 10 episodes per season is paltry indeed! Also – like Homeland – I think it’s future should be assured for at least another two seasons.
Love Better Call Saul. It’s better than Breaking Bad.
Better call Saul is a slow burner but still compelling nevertheless. It would be a crime to cancel this series without a least getting us to the point where Walter & jimmy McGill meet.
Better Call Saul is intelligent, well written and well-acted. For me, it’s the best series on TV since Breaking Bad. It’s unfortunate that many people need to see constant violence and action to be entertained. Please renew!!!!
Struggled to get through the first season. Forced myself to sit through a few episodes of season two but gave up. To paraphrase a post I read elsewhere, Better Call Saul is a sure cure for insomnia.
I know others love this show but it just doesn’t have the same “gotcha” as Breaking Bad. Honestly I think Gus’ appearance in season three is a response to lackluster ratings. I’m willing to bet Gilligan got a call from AMC execs to the tone of “do something or start looking for another network.”
I respect your views and choices you have…. But calling it lackluster is not to harsh.. See the thumbs down you got….
To me BCS is a winner and a runaway hit…
I will not understand if there is no season 4. It is the only thing on TV that I have ever watched more than once and I am completely rivetted by it. It is exceptional and unique. Those of us who love it have more depth to us just as Better Call Saul has more intelligence than the standard rubbish that is churned out.
Watching from Australia and absolutely loved all 3. Seasons. We can’t wait for 4 and 5 to come out.
Brilliant show.
Follower from France. I hope the season 4 and 5 will renew!! It’s a great show and that can’t be stop now.
