re: Better Call Saul ending was lame and unrealistic.

Shifting gears from the cartel/Lalo/Gus to the slower paced, rather mediocre, Gene storyline in the last few episodes was jarring and a letdown.

To take it further, I think how you felt about the last few episodes depends on how you felt about the beginning of the show. If you really liked the first two seasons, you probably really liked the ending. If you didn’t care for it until Gus showed back up, then you probably didn’t. One isn’t right or wrong, it’s just two different flavors, and it comes down to which one you liked better.

Personally, I loved the first two seasons, so I really liked the last 5 episodes. It’s almost like they gave us endings for both camps: for some, the show ended with Lalo’s death, and everything after that might as well have been another El Camino. For others, the Saul/Jimmy ending was was what they wanted. Either way, I think that the whole show will be viewed differently by everyone once you can binge the whole thing. The slowness of week to week, paired with multiple years between seasons played a part in its reception too.
