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.

What do you think? Are you glad that the Better Call Saul TV show has been renewed for a fourth and fifth season on AMC? How many seasons do you think this TV series will run?
Please renew it! This is the only decent tv show with a brain. Is so intelligently written, captivating, and the acting is supreme. In the last episode, when fans literally got angry at Jimmy for being mean to Irene, that’s when you know how good the show is. People reacting emotionally to the show. Please continue it. !!!!!
My hope is that tonight on Talking Saul, following the final show of this Season 3, they will announce that there will, in fact, be a Season 4. There has to be a Season 4!! And THEN there has to be a Season 5 that takes place AFTER Breaking Bad when Jimmy/Saul returns (somehow) to Albuquerque and becomes Mayor!
My college -aged son and I are as enthralled and addicted to ‘Saul as with
B. Bad thanks to the superlative writing, acting, direction. Please , wonderful, wondrousCharlie Collier ( our sons played tennis same league )or whoever makes decisions, take pity on quality- addicts like us and finish the tale of Jimmys transition to Saul in at least one more season. With much appreciation- we are
Gratefully,
Diane and Jonathan
Better not cancel Better Call Saul! Best show, but the beginning of season 3 was bettet than these last few, near the end.
I also quite enjoy the show and hope it is renewed.
only thing on tv i watch
Like the show from which it is spun, Better Call Saul is a work of subtle, creative genius. The characters are complex, the plot is intriguing, and the unfolding of the story is like the first airing of a fine, aged wine: It smells familiar, and yet teases the expectations of its audience with twists and turns and new characters whose fates are as uncertain and dubious as Chuck’s “medical condition.” And yet now I find myself wishing the pace would quicken, because I fear the vagaries of studio prognostications and the fickleness of audiences. I know that my chances… Read more »
Great post from Leo there. Each episode is like a Beethoven symphony or Mozart piano concerto – perfectly formed in structure and bursting with interesting content. I don’t see how Talking Saul, which will follow the Season 3 finale, “live” next Monday, is going to work, unless it is going to be revealed on that show what the future holds. I want a celebration, not a wake! Greetings from England.
This is one of the best series ever—intelligent, captivating and funny as well! It fulfills Hitchcock’s mantra of “Pure cinema”, the highest art of filmmaking and this in a TV-series! Yet it is still not decided whether there will be a fourth season? Hard to believe that the people who finance the show don’t want to find out themselves how everything will come together in the end. Please don’t let us suffer in insecurity, instead let the geniuses of imaginative scripting finish their work of artful entertainment even if it takes six seasons to tell the whole story. Please continue… Read more »
Fingers crossed for lots more seasons ! I actually like it better than breaking bad !!! RENEW PLZ !
The show is slow as it is building a story. This is a great way to write a TV show as it builds curiosity and excitement for the next episodes to air. Please renew the show! I look forward to it every week!!
This show is so boring if you were to put the relevant content together crom all seasons it would be a single season of a better than average show, at best. Please just have Walter White walk in and be done with this borefest!
Look at negative votes your comments have gathered
With the great success of Breaking Bad…can’t believe this series is struggling! It is an absolute gem in a TV-land of mind-numbing turds. Perhaps the connection to BB was not marketed strongly enough, would be a dreadful shame to terminate such a finely superior product.
I don’t watch much t.v., but I do love this show. I watched all of Breaking Bad, and I actually like BCS much better. I’ll be bummed if they don’t have a season 4 and 5. Too many loose ends, and I’m totally in! Wanna see how this transformation to Saul Goodman happens. Great show!
RENEWED!!! Please!
