It’s the end of an era. With the finale airing last Monday, “Better Call Saul”, a drama series following the eccentric characters of “Breaking Bad,” has come to a close and it ranks nothing even close to disappointing. The majority of the audience seems to think so too, as the show has won over 40 awards and received 46 Primetime Emmy nominations throughout its course.

Something guaranteed when watching any part in the “Breaking Bad” trilogy is that you can never expect what’ll happen. I didn’t think it would be possible to be kept so on-edge with every episode of the show, but it truly surprised me constantly. The characters that were newly introduced into the series became some of my favorites in the whole trilogy, such as Ignacio Varga. He was involved in parts of the story that were otherwise unfinished; a huge puzzle piece missing in the original show along with being a moral and understanding character.

Also, we get a lot more detail into the Salamanca family, which seemed to just be a stepping stone for Walter White in the sequel, “Breaking Bad”. Every character gets an in-depth story in “Better Call Saul” as we are able to learn so much more about characters like Mike Ehrmantraut, Gustavo Fring, Hector Salamanca, etc.

Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk), who may have had a large role in the sequel, was still shrouded in mystery about his origin until this series’ release. He’s shown to be comedic, nonchalant and persuasive; a bit two-dimensional, but still interesting. This show has given him so much more character. We see his humble and slightly depressing beginnings, while slowly watching him become the prideful con man who’s one of my favorite characters of all time. Every elaborate scheme of Goodman’s is nothing short of mesmerizing, whether he’s working alone or teaming up with another amazing character.

Although this is not a new addition to the series, the clothing is representative of the characters’ lives and time periods being shown. At the beginning of the show, Goodman is mostly shown wearing a plain suit, which was very lawyerlike. This happens at any point where he’s living by the book; no cons, tricks or otherwise. When he’s the real Saul Goodman, though, he picks out his brightest, wacky-colored suit and skirts around the law. At the start of each season, the new Saul, “Gene,” is always shown in muted colors and plain casual wear. The details are little but seem to add something to the show that makes you consider the meaning.

Just like its sequel, many episodes begin with a flash forward. We’re shown cryptic scenes littered with metaphors and important details I wasn’t even aware of until doing more analysis after the finale. This time, these time jumps take place after the finale of “Breaking Bad,” where Goodman’s whereabouts were previously unknown. For the first few seasons, I was wondering what led him to where he ended up and what kind of life he was living after the hectic two years spent with Walter White. The final few episodes, though, connected all of the missing pieces while leaving me completely shocked.

This series made me think about life, pride and morals in a different way than I have before and it is absolutely the greatest series I’ve had the pleasure of watching.
