Last night, I watched the last two episodes (and with the second one being its series finale) of Better Call Saul. Had never watched this series, nor even Breaking Bad  except for its first couple of episodes years ago, and which this series was spun off of.

And all I can say here is...BOY, am I ever sorry now that I didn't watch this series from the very start, as I was totally hooked from the very first moment.

I'm sure those who DID get into this series from the beginning would easily recognize all of its noir elements, and with it half the time being shot in B&W.

(...who knew this series was so damn good?!...well, evidently I didn't, I'm NOW sorry to say)

I binge watched Better Call Saul over the summer and watched the series finale last night.  It's a fantastic show, I enjoyed it more than Breaking Bad.  If you liked last night, I'd recommend watching Better Call Saul from the beginning. The six seasons went by quickly with only 61 episodes.

Better Call Saul.  I just finished the series finale after binge watching the series over the summer.  It's a prequel to Breaking Bad but ultimately I think I like BCS better.  Bob Odenkirk was always one of my favorite parts of BB.  

It's hard to end a series like this, where the main character is a criminal.  He either dies, goes to jail, or gets away.  The timeline ends post-Breaking Bad and there is a redemption of sorts for Saul where he goes back to his true self.  I won't give away anything else but I really enjoyed this series. I'm going to miss not having any new episodes!  Suprisingly, it has never won an Emmy despite being nominated 46 times.

Just finished season 3 of Evil on Paramount.  Fantastic last episode, shades of Rosemary's Baby, cleverly bringing together several plot threads to a chilling season finale.
