BETTER CALL SAUL

The Final Season

AMC/AMC+

We can't believe that it's the final season of Better Call Saul. The last few seasons we have watched the transformation of Jimmy McGill to who we will know as Saul Goodman man, played by Bob Odenkirk (Fargo, Breaking Bad, Nobody).

This final season has brought a number of our favorite characters together as well as other glimpses of those that we have not seen in awhile. In this timeline, we're still ahead of the events that will take place in Breaking Bad. As we wonder whether we will see Walter White (Bryan Cranston - Breaking Bad, Your Honor, El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie) and Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul - Big Love, Westworld, The Path)

With 13 episodes in the final season and a mid-season break as well, it's the perfect time to make sure that you catch up with the cartel, legal maneuvers and more.

True crime is always our go-to genre when we're listening to our podcasts. There are a number of cases that we have heard told on various shows and The Staircase happens to be one of them. It's also a story that has been covered via documentaries as well as films. HBO Max's limited series of The Staircase shares the incidents that led to the death of Michael Peterson's (Colin Firth - Kingsman: The Secret Service, Bridget Jones's Baby, Kingsman: The Golden Circle) wife, Kathleen (Toni Collette - Pieces of Her, Knives Out, Nightmare Alley).

We're introduced to the family, their life prior to the murder as well as seeing the possible ways that she could have died. We also see how the family dynamics changed as Michael is charged with her death.

We also find out about other suspiscious activity that he has been associated with and how this could shine a light on her death of this true story.

THE PATH
Hulu

Last spring, Bingely Streaming shared the season premier of The Path which follows a family at the center of a controversial cult movement as they struggle with rela tionships, faith and power. Each episode takes an in-depth look at the gravitational pull of belief and what it means to choose 

between the life we live and the life we want. The series blends elements of mystery-thriller, romance and the supernatural.

If you're into fast paced shows, The Path rewards viewers in its patient and methodical approach to unfolding its story over it's first season which included 10 episodes. 

Season 1 of The Path ended with Eddie  (Breaking Bad's Aaron Paul) and Sarah (True Detective's Michelle Monaghan) at a crossroads in their marriage. 

Season 2 continues with these characters, who are all members of a religious cult called the Meyerist Movement, headquartered in upstate New York. Eddie recently returned from a sort of vision quest in Peru, and saw things while there that are now seriously testing his faith. Sarah is Eddie’s wife, a 100 percent faithful, life-long member of the movement, who becomes suspicious of her husband's odd 

behaviour. If you've seen the trailer, you see that their relationship hasn't improved. 

Sarah in particular seems like she’s struggling with how to proceed emotionally, while teenage son Hawk seems like he’s squarely siding with his dad on this one. It’ll also be interesting to see what type of fallout occurs due to the shocking revelation Eddie experienced in the very last scene of season 1, as it’s hard to imagine him not having a million questions about what he’s just seen.

The real wildcard is Cal (Hannibal’s Hugh Dancy), an ambitious – and sometimes frighteningly violent – Meyerist leader with designs on taking over after the movement’s creator dies.
