'Better Call Saul' breaks in the right direction with its satisfying series finale

4 years 1 month ago
After six seasons building toward Saul Goodman's foreshadowed fall, "Better Call Saul" presented its final chapter, faced with the burdensome expectations raised by its Emmy-winning predecessor, "Breaking Bad."

As the prequel nears its end, it's worth considering how the original series' Emmy-winning legacy cooked up one of the best TV offshoots since "Cheers" begat "Frasier."
