Why Better Call Saul season 4 should not be final season
At this point, though, it may be time to start thinking more in terms of the show’s own mortality, given that we are three seasons in and Breaking Bad itself only ran for five during its time on AMC. It would be rather odd for the prequel to last longer than the original show, so we see at most a situation where there are two more years left for the series. Heck, maybe some think that there is only enough story to go for one more season before calling it a day.
We know that for us personally, we’re willing to go against the grain on the four-season plan for Better Call Saul, most because there is enough material for there to be two separate arcs to tie things together and send this character off into the sunset.
1. Jimmy becomes Saul – This can happen over the course of season 4, given that he’s already so dark at this point and the death of Chuck, one of the few family ties that he had, may send him even more into a spiral. This can also be a season where we learn what happens to characters like Nacho and Kim, who are both essential to this storyline but not a part of the Breaking Bad universe.
2. Gene’s story – We’d argue that almost the entirety of the fifth and final season should be Jimmy / Saul’s redemption up in Omaha. While he’s done some terrible things, it would be nice for this show to have a different ending, one where you get a chance to see him actually pay his story forward a little bit and try to be a better person than he’s been.

I really like Better Call Saul but I am thinking that they should end with an eventful action packed final season four that brings the story up to the beginning of Breaking Bad. Although I would enjoy a season five don’t get me wrong.
There will be closure to the characters of Chuck, which we know what happens now, Nacho and Kim who’s character I really like. I will enjoy every second of seeing how the creepy Salamanca character becomes disabled as he was in Breaking Bad although I am afraid somehow Nacho finds his fate in that episode. Bring it on. Your fans are waiting.
