'Flawlessness in flow': Fans call 'Better Call Saul' Season 6 Premiere better than 'Breaking Bad'

The two-hour premiere of 'Better Call Saul' Season 6 gets praise from everywhere as fans call it better than 'Breaking Bad'

The sixth and final season of ‘Better Call Saul’ has finally begun and fans can’t wait to see how the journey ends for Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk). The first two episodes of Season 6 just aired on AMC and it doesn’t come as a shock that they were literally flawless. The premiere started from where we left off in the previous season and we see Nacho (Michael Mando) running for his life after assassins reach Lalo’s house.

The member of the Juarez Cartel takes refuge in a hotel, but he’s still in danger because he is still inside the Salamanca territory. Meanwhile, Lalo (Tony Dalton) is alive and is now planning to take revenge on his enemies. Gus Fring (Giancarlo Esposito), who got the news that Lalo has died, feels furious after knowing the reality. He ramps up his security and waits for Lalo to strike. Meanwhile, things are getting intense between Mike and Gus. Mike wants to take Nacho out of Salamanca territory but Gus is not interested and this causes friction between each other.

Meanwhile, one of the fans wrote that the show has overtaken ‘Breaking Bad’ in terms of storytelling and is the greatest show ever. He wrote, “Dear Breaking Bad, You were great. But I am afraid you might have been surpassed. The second greatest show ever isn’t that bad.”

“Longterm storytelling at its finest,” said another one. “How has it been over 90 minutes of #BetterCallSaul, but feels like 30 minutes? Flawlessness in flow,” tweeted another fan. "The cinematography, the acting, the writing....just magnificent," wrote another Twitter user. 

The show returned to AMC after a gap of more than two years and it still manages to keep viewers glued to their screens. The final season consists of 13 episodes and is divided into two parts. The second part of the show will start airing in July 2022.
