Is ‘Better Call Saul’ Finally Winning Its Well-Deserved Golden Globe?

“Better Call Saul” is by far the best offshoot of a series that has existed in US television history. The prelude to Breaking Bad, which tells the story of how shady James McGill becomes swashbuckling Saul Goodman, entered its final season this year.

There could be a big prize to wrap up the saga after all, after the series went empty-handed at the Primetime Emmys in September after 18 nominations since filming began. Better Call Saul has been nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Television Series – Drama.

The competition is impressive, but not overwhelming: “The Crown”, “House of the Dragon”, “Ozark” and “Severance”.

Anyone who considers “House of the Dragon” to be as influential and moving as “Game of Thrones” is probably a dreamer or is simply too stuck in George RR Martin’s fantasy universe. Of course, “The Crown” has the Diana effect behind it. However, the series also won in this category in 2020. And “Succession”, perhaps the best series of recent years, is not nominated at all this time.

That leaves the sci-fi series “Severance”, for which Apple+ would certainly like to see the first major prize in series production, and “Ozark”, which is basically a bit cheeky as a baking mix from “Twin Peaks”, “Fargo” and – Yes! – “Breaking Bad” could go through.

So far, Better Call Saul has been ignored

Overall, it at least looks like “Better Call Saul” has a good chance of winning the Golden Globe. However, the fact that only Bob Odenkirk was nominated as best leading actor, but Rhea Seehorn, who basically towers over the entire cast, was not considered, gives a deep insight. By the way, Saul actor Odenkirk has been empty-handed at the Golden Globes four times.
