Better Call Saul Season 6 premieres with two back-to-back-episodes on Monday, April 18 at 9:00pm ET/PT on AMC and AMC+.
It’s been two years of waiting to see what comes next after the incendiary Season 5 finale of Better Call Saul, "Something Unforgivable," where Lalo Salamanca (Tony Dalton) escaped Nacho Varga’s (Michael Mando) last-ditch assassination plan on behalf of Gus Fring (Giancarlo Esposito) and Kim Wexler’s (Rhea Seehorn) morals slipped ever closer to Jimmy’s (Bob Odenkirk) when she proposed bringing down Howard Hamlin (Patrick Fabian) for revenge. Season 6 picks up right where it left off, in terms of the narrative threads and the show’s masterful ability to reinvest the audience right back into everyone in Saul’s orbit to great dramatic effect. The first two hours aren’t reinventing the wheel, but cumulatively, there’s a steady pressing of the gas that this show will inevitably pay off in big ways.
Now it’s the real beginning of the end of Jimmy’s story, with the finale season of Better Call Saul broken into two parts, starting with seven brand-new episodes now, and then six final episodes in July, for a total of 13. The two-episode premiere begins well with “Wine and Roses,” written by co-creator Peter Gould, giving eagle-eyed viewers a twist on the customary black-and-white opening to every season. The series has trained us to expect a sneak peek at Jimmy’s post-Breaking Bad life under the alias of Gene Takavic of Omaha, Nebraska, but there’s a tantalizing left turn that is plenty haunting. And then it picks up right where the story left off, with Nacho literally on the run from what he did to Lalo in Mexico, Kim starting her post-Schweikart and Cokely career as a public defender, and Jimmy continuing to build the Saul Goodman phase of his legal career.
IGN's David Griffin gave the Season 5 finale of Better Call Saul a 9/10, writing that it "ends its penultimate season with a thrilling showdown between Lalo and Nacho." "Peter Gould's stellar direction leads to some really cool camera shots, which heighten the action and suspense as Lalo fights for his life. Back in Albuquerque, Kim's surprising transformation from Jimmy's moral foundation to the instigator is a surprising twist that should lead to an entertaining final season." Read the full review here.
Overall, there’s a groundwork feel to the first episode, which is something the series does so well. Jimmy and Kim spend time staking out Howard for her plan to get the slow-as-molasses Sandpiper deal to come to a close, while Lalo does the rounds to establish who worked him over in his own compound. The masters are at play, observing the chess board, the moves they could make, and how all of their choices could play out. It’s still absorbing to watch, especially the way this cast prowls their various playing fields.
