Can We Just Say Adios To The Show?
Even if it's renewed, we know what's going to happen because of the clues the show has dropped. Unfortunately, the show outfoxed itself. It has revealed the whole story already. Thus, do we really need to watch 20 more shows to the end? It can be wrapped up in "Adios" and not be renewed. Ok, the show isn't Breaking Bad, but while it has got its moments, it doesn't have enough going to keep interest in the series. The Sopranos was a mob story, but it also showed the family life of the leading mobster. I think the Soprano comparison is excellent. The Sopranos stayed true to the intent of its hybrid show. "“Better Call Saul” is a singular hybrid of a show, one that is trying to: 1) tell a nuanced psychological story about two brothers 2); tell a nuanced and sometimes violent story about a handful of thugs; 3) highlight the inner and ugly workings of law firm life; and 4) do all this while constrained and guided by the contours of “Breaking Bad.”
That’s a lot, and fans of one element of the show might be indifferent to another. “The Sopranos” attempted a version of this hybrid — it was a mob story as well as a marvelously executed soap opera. But it had one tone, which is to say the two principle threads were woven tightly together. “Better Call Saul” is really jumping from one genre to another, often separated by nothing more than a smash cut." This has led to some boredom even within a good episode. We didn't have to see everything to figure it out. I'm willing to agree to one more season if the show is picked up again, but the script has to be better, tighter and decide on the type of show it wants to be -- https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/20/arts/television/better-call-saul-season-3-finale-recap-lantern.html
