The Mystery of Better Call Saul

Better Call Saul, the prequel to Breaking Bad, has captivated audiences with its complex characters and intricate plotlines since its premiere in 2015. With the impending launch of its sixth and final season onto Netflix, fans are eagerly anticipating the resolution of various storylines and the unraveling of the show’s many mysteries. While Better Call Saul fit best as a neo-noir crime thriller, here are some of the mystery elements of Better Call Saul season 6 that viewers can look forward to:

[Warning: Avast, ahead there be spoilers!]

Gene Takovic’s fate

In season 5, we saw Jimmy McGill (Bob Odenkirk) in hiding under the name “Gene Takovic” working at a Cinnabon in Omaha. The scenes set in the present day are always shrouded in an air of mystery, as we wonder if Jimmy’s past will catch up with him. Will Gene be discovered by law enforcement or someone from his past? Will he finally confront the guilt he feels for his past misdeeds? The fate of Gene Takovic is one of the most pressing mysteries of season 6.

 

Kim Wexler’s whereabouts

The end of season 5 left viewers shocked and perplexed when Kim (Rhea Seehorn) suggested that she and Jimmy should pull off a con together. However, we don’t know what Kim’s ultimate plan is or where she will be during the events of season 6. Will she and Jimmy succeed in their scheme, or will it lead to their downfall? Will Kim finally break away from Jimmy’s influence, or will she continue to be drawn into his world of crime?

 

The fate of Nacho Varga

Nacho (Michael Mando) has been in a precarious situation since the beginning of the series, working as a double agent for the Salamanca cartel while also trying to protect his own interests. In season 5, Nacho’s father was taken hostage by the cartel as leverage against Nacho, and he was forced to work even harder to keep his cover. Will Nacho be able to extricate himself from the cartel’s clutches, or will his involvement with them lead to his downfall?

 

The origin of Saul Goodman

The evolution of Jimmy McGill into the sleazy Saul Goodman has been a fascinating journey, but we still don’t know everything about how it happened. What was the catalyst that caused Jimmy to fully embrace his criminal side and adopt the persona of Saul? Will we see more of the transformation in season 6, or will it already be complete?

 

The involvement of Breaking Bad characters

Throughout the series, we have seen several characters from Breaking Bad make appearances, including Gus Fring, Mike Ehrmantraut, and even Walter White himself. But the final season is expected to bring back even more familiar faces, including Jesse Pinkman and possibly even more members of the Salamanca cartel. Fans are excited to see how these characters will factor into the story and how their presence will impact the fates of the show’s main characters.

 

Overall, Better Call Saul season 6 promises to be a thrilling and satisfying conclusion to one of the most beloved TV shows of the past decade. With so many mysteries left to be resolved, fans will be eagerly awaiting each new episode, hoping to finally get the answers they have been waiting for.
