Better Call Saul wrapped up last night, bringing to an end 14 years, 11 seasons, 125 episodes, and one movie (El Camino) for the Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul universe (and we've seen it all). Unlike Breaking Bad's blood soaked finale, Better Call Saul ended without violence, though with much drama and many twists. In this final go-round, we had the return of so many characters (most now dead) - Walter White, Mike Ehrmantraut, Chuck McGill, Marie Schrader - but it never felt forced. Well done. Amazing work by Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould in bringing this world into existence and with the consistent attention to the minute details of setting, scene, story, and characters that sustained it for so long. And by Bob Odenkirk as Jimmy/Saul/Gene. Who would have thought the slimy, comic relief character from BB could have shouldered an entire series as a compelling character?
