Last night, the 2023 Emmys, the most important television awards in the USA, were presented. Succession and The Bear were the winners, Better Call Saul came away empty-handed
In six seasons, Better Call Saul achieved a rare feat: the spin-off series escaped the shadow of its acclaimed predecessor Breaking Bad and blossomed into a critics’ favorite. Last year, the story of Saul Goodman and Jimmy McGill (Bob Odenkirk) was brought to a close
The finale of Better Call Saul was sealed with a negative record
The critical acclaim was virtually unanimous, with the prestigious Time magazine calling the series “one of the most visually stunning […] and emotionally gripping shows in the history of television”. Such farewells, accompanied by hymns of praise, are usually an occasion for award ceremonies to bid a fitting farewell.

Better Call Saul still came away empty-handed at the 2023 Emmys last night, setting a negative record as the series with the most Emmy nominations without a win, as industry site Deadline notes. You read that right: Six seasons and 53 nominations later, Better Call Saul has not won a single Emmy. Neither Bob Odenkirk nor Rhea Seehorn have been rewarded for their performances.
