United States	Alan Sepinwall Rolling Stone	"[6th Season, Final Chapter]: As Saul once told Francesca, it’s been quite a ride. We may not see its like again for quite some time. Enjoy the feeling while it lingers."	POS
United States	Daniel D'Addario Variety	"[6th Season, Final Chapter]: 'Better Call Saul’s' brilliant, emotional finale is 'Breaking Bad' in reverse"	POS
United States	Scott Tobias Vulture	"[6th Season, Final Chapter]: an ending for Jimmy that’s hopeful and authentic without feeling rosy or unearned"	POS
United States	Brian Lowry CNN	"[6th Season, Final Chapter]: 'Saul' obviously couldn't provide the same fireworks that distinguished the 'Breaking Bad' finale, but it did prove satisfying in a way the felt true to the show."	POS
United States	Mike Hogan Vanity Fair	"[6th Season, Final Chapter]: it didn’t have the relentless, clock-like precision of the 'Breaking Bad' finale (...) What it did have, and I really appreciate this even if I have a quibble or two, is heart"	POS
United States	Chris Evangelista SlashFilm	"[6th Season, Final Chapter]: This was an absolutely perfect finale. From top to bottom. I am awed (not that I had any doubts)."	POS
United Kingdom	Ed Power Telegraph	"[6th Season, Chapter 8 Review]: A seismic episode of the acclaimed Breaking Bad spinoff took a big leap towards Walter White and Jesse Pinkman (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Darren Franich Entertainment Weekly	"[6th Season, Chapter 8 Review]: Vince Gilligan directs a shocking episode that richly reconsiders a key setting from 'Breaking Bad.'"	POS
United States	Steve Greene IndieWire	"[6th Season, Chapter 8 Review]: Not only is “Point and Shoot” an impeccable ballet of conflicting aims and means, it sets an effective expectation for the remaining five episodes to come"	POS
United Kingdom	Stuart Jeffries The Guardian	"[6th Season, Chapter 8 Review]: : The final batch of episodes kicks off with a virtuoso Vince Gilligan-directed instalment, that’s all beguilingly complicated visual techniques and gun-toting, tense plotlines (...) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Darren Franich Entertainment Weekly	"[6th Season Review]: A marvelous opening that suggests these final 13 episodes will reveal the answers to questions you didn't know you had."	POS
United States	Steve Greene IndieWire	"[6th Season Review]: The final season of the impeccable AMC show maintains an impossibly high bar for finely crafted TV, with Bob Odenkirk and Rhea Seehorn leading the way."	POS
United States	Chris Evangelista SlashFilm	"[6th Season Review]: The fact that the show continues to be so well crafted only heightens the power. Every frame of 'Saul' remains a masterclass in composition."	POS
United States	Daniel D'Addario Variety	"[6th Season Review]: [It] moves toward its endgame, losing sight of its best assets (...) The more mixed result is that this series feels more bound up than ever in trying to draw out connections to 'Breaking Bad'"	NEU
United States	Kaitlin Thomas Paste Magazine	"[6th Season Review]: 'Better Call Saul' remains one of TV's best in tense, exhilarating final season"	POS
United States	Gabriel Bergmoser Den of Geek	"[5th Season Review]: Another superb season (...) As usual, 'Saul' operates with confidence and impeccable craft (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Adam Chitwood Collider	"[5th Season Review]: This is a show with a lot to say about the world we live in, in ways that are richer and more hard-hitting than its big brother series ['Breaking Bad'] (…) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Daniel D'Addario Variety	"[5th Season Review]: In an episode-by-episode sense as new installments unfold, the show seems at times to have perhaps more vision than plan: A sense of itself, but a manner of getting there too halting by half"	NEU
United States	Chris Evangelista SlashFilm	[5th Season Review]: What a wonder this show is (...) With next season already established to be the last, 'Better Call Saul' is catching up to 'Breaking Bad' faster than ever before."	POS
United States	Liz Shannon Miller Paste Magazine	"[5th Season Review]: The sure and steady hand of creators Peter Gould and Vince Gilligan knows what is right and what is wrong—and it is never afraid to reveal what can happen when that line gets crossed."	POS
United States	Kelly Connolly TV Guide	"[5th Season Review]: It's an exquisitely sad story that also serves as a reminder that even Kim, the heart of the series, is a little unknowable (…) Rating: ★★★★½ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Darren Franich Entertainment Weekly	"[4th Season Review]: What strikes me is that there are a lot of tiny delights"	POS
United States	Liz Shannon Miller IndieWire	"[4th Season Review]: This isn’t a 'Breaking Bad' prequel — it’s an evolution into something greater"	POS
United States	Erik Adams AV Club	"[4th Season Review]: 'Better Call Saul' hits new heights by finding the chemistry in grief (...) [It] kicks into gear with (...) confidence and precision"	POS
United States	Tim Goodman The Hollywood Reporter	"[4th Season Review]: As great as ever"	POS
United States	Matt Fowler IGN	"[4th Season Review]: [The first episode] contains all the beautifully brave hallmarks of the 'Breaking Bad'-verse (...) It's a heavy, reflective chapter"	POS
United States	Tim Goodman The Hollywood Reporter	"[3rd Season Review]: An already superb AMC drama gets even better as the surprisingly sad evolution of Jimmy McGill into Saul Goodman continues."	POS
United States	Liz Shannon Miller IndieWire	"[3rd Season Review]: It's honestly weird how 'Better Call Saul', a show based on the premise of a halfway decent lawyer becoming a completely corrupt crook, is one of the most ethically engaged shows on television."	POS
United States	Chuck Bowen Slant	"[3rd Season Review]: 'Better Call Saul' grows more ironic and tragic with each subsequent episode."	POS
United States	Verne Gay Newsday	"[3rd Season Review]: Based on the first two episodes, 'Saul' is making a case that it could be even better than 'Breaking Bad'."	POS
United States	Brian Lowry Variety	"[2nd Season Review]: 'Better Call Saul' continues to display many of the same qualities as 'Breaking Bad', including its disarming quirkiness and embrace of stillness and quiet, as well as its unpredictability and occasional bouts of menace."	POS
United States	Tim Goodman The Hollywood Reporter	"[2nd Season Review]: It’s as funny and sweet and prickly as what viewers got in Season 1, with continued standout performances by Odenkirk and Banks."	POS
United States	Daniel D'Addario Time	"[2nd Season Review]: It’s the best-case scenario for a spin-off: a show that occupies a familiar world but opens up entirely new themes."	POS
United States	Liz Shannon Miller IndieWire	"[2nd Season Review]: 'Saul' is a show that really rewards the viewer's attention to detail--because however much you might pick up on, there's probably at least three levels of meaning you're missing."	POS
United Kingdom	Phelim O'Neill The Guardian	"[2nd Season Review]: it's not 'Breaking Bad' – but it might be even better. It’s got murder, mystery, Mike Ehrmantraut – and the most profound depiction of brothers ever seen on TV. Not bad for a show where nothing ever happens."	POS
United States	Hank Stuever The Washington Post	"[It] is right in line with the tone and style of the original (...) And like its predecessor, 'Better Call Saul' raises more questions (...) than it will readily answer."	POS
United States	James Poniewozik Time	"I was skeptical of the idea (...) yet after three episodes, I have to say it’s… pretty good"	POS
United States	Jeff Jensen Entertainment Weekly	"Like Saul himself, its identity is a work in progress. The energetic visual storytelling engages, but the deliberate pacing left me restless."	POS
United States	Tim Goodman The Hollywood Reporter	"The first hour moves slower than people might be expecting, but builds to and ends on a wonderful cliff-hanger that is partly but not fully solved in the second episode."	POS
United States	Alessandra Stanley The New York Times	"'Better Call Saul' is better than good: It’s delightful--in a brutal, darkly comic way, of course."	POS
United States	Lori Rackl Chicago Sun-Times	"We already know where he ends up, but it sure is fun watching him get dirty along the way. (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Brian Lowry Variety	"Essentially, 'Saul' is an extended origin story, possessing 'Bad’s' flavor and black comedy but at least initially lacking its emotional core. While that dictates a mixed verdict, the creative auspices nevertheless bode well."	NEU
