'Better Call Saul' Season 6: Emotional fans bid farewell to the 'best show on television'

Fans were left stunned with the epic conclusion of 'Better Call Saul' and didn't shy away in showering praise all over the place

We see a lot of shows getting ended in a year and only a few of them get a satisfying conclusion. Over the years, there have been only a handful number of shows that have gone on to run on TV for more than six years and reach the end where every character, every plotline gets a befitting end. In 2015, ‘Better Call Saul’ made its way to AMC and expanded the ‘Breaking Bad’ universe. At the time, no one in a million years would have thought that the series will run for six seasons. Seven years later, we just saw the show ending with an episode that takes the show to a level that only a few shows have managed to reach.

The final edition of the AMC series saw Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk) embarking on his final journey and suffering the consequences for everything that he has done in the past. Tonight's episode saw Saul getting caught by the police and taken for a trial. In between, he does a lot of mischiefs to get the minimum sentence possible. He tells the prosecution that he just needs one jury member on his side and he can do whatever he wants to. Saul strikes a deal with the prosecution and they want a sentence of 7 years for him.

A terrific end to an iconic show.
