If you want a crime drama that treats its mystery as more than a puzzle, Better Call Saul is available in Australia on Stan, and in the US on Netflix right now. 6 seasons in, and the quality has not slipped. 6,645 viewers have already rated it on TMDB — the kind of consensus that does not happen by accident. Bob Odenkirk anchors it, but the writing does the real work. Available now on Stan — press play and find out why people keep recommending it.

There is a reason Better Call Saul keeps coming up in conversation. The plotting gives Better Call Saul its backbone, but it is the characters you come back for. Six years before Saul Goodman meets Walter White. We meet him when the man who will become Saul Goodman is known as Jimmy McGill, a small-time lawyer searching for his destiny, and, more immediately, hustling to make ends meet. Working alongside, and, often, against Jimmy, is “fixer” Mike Ehrmantraut. Credit to Bob Odenkirk and Jonathan Banks for grounding it — this is a cast that earns the twists. It ran for 6 seasons (2015–2022), and the writing holds up across every one of them. What distinguishes the best crime dramas from the rest is whether the character work can carry scenes where the mystery takes a breath — Better Call Saul passes that test consistently. It sustains a level of quality that very few manage to hold onto all the way through.

Viewers who think they have seen every crime drama tend to find Better Call Saul proves them wrong. Fans of Breaking Bad will recognise the sensibility here immediately. 6 seasons is a lot, but the quality holds all the way through. Watch Bob Odenkirk work — it is a masterclass in the genre. Few crime dramas earn their twists this consistently.

Better Call Saul wrapped up in 2022, created by Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould — and 6 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
