Better Call Saul is on its way to its 6th and final season. Over the weekend my wife and I caught up and watched season 5 on Netflix.

The show continues to be entertaining, though at times it can be a bit puzzling. For example, I find myself wondering why Kim Wexler stays with Saul. He often finds himself in serious trouble, trouble that can have dangerous consequences. Kim is such a bright, successful woman, and being with Saul seems to complicate her life and career. He tends to pull her into difficult situations, yet she sticks around. It’s something I find hard to understand.

This season was pretty good. We got to see more of Gus Fring, Michael, Nacho, Lalo Salamanca, and others. There’s some intense drama between the key players, and things get pretty tense. Michael, Saul, Nacho, and a few others get pulled into situations they’d rather avoid, but they’re now in too deep to walk away.

We also spend more time with Lalo this season, and he’s both entertaining and intimidating. Need 7 million dollars? He makes it look easy.

I’m avoiding spoilers, but if you enjoyed Breaking Bad or the earlier seasons of this show, you’re likely to enjoy this season as well.

Next up, season 6 is coming in a few days.
