Better Call Saul......is ending after 6 seasons....season 5 Starts in Feb this year.....

The network on Thursday announced the critically acclaimed series starring Bob Odenkirk will end with its sixth season.
The final season will be comprised of 13 episodes and go into production later this year and air in 2021.
The fifth season of "Better Call Saul" is set to premiere over two nights beginning February 23.
"From day one of 'Better Call Saul' my dream was to tell the complete story of our complicated and compromised hero, Jimmy McGill -- now AMC and Sony are making that dream come true," said showrunner and executive producer Peter Gould in a statement. "We couldn't be more grateful to the fans and critics who are making this journey possible. Next month we start work on the sixth and final season — we're going to do our damnedest to stick the landing."

of "Breaking Bad." Complicated characters mixed up in compromising situations.

*Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul

*Homicide/ The Corner/ The Wire/Treme/The Deuce

*The Sopranos/Northern Exposure

We are so lucky to be living in this new Golden Age of genius television creators.

Creator of Deadwood, best show ever in my mind along with BB and The Wire. The Sopranos, Saul and Northern Exposure are close behind for me.

It's actually more than what was said back then, according to Milch who spent five years doing research before writing the script. But "consarn it" and "dadburn it" just didn't have the same impact, so it has a record amount of f bombs according to one account I read. Still just great dialogue, acting and its portryal of the people in this time and place is extraordinary.

They will be great I have no doubt. Gilligan knows when to call it quits and tell a complete story.
