Better Call Saul - The Complete Series [Blu-ray]

Nothing bad to say about this set. Boy friend loved it and we watch it over and over.

I did not watch this while it was being broadcast. My only familiarity with "BETTER CALL SAUL" was through the source show, Breaking Bad. I know BETTER CALL SAUL was highly rated during it's run so now is my time to power-watch the series. I've had the set for two days and have already watched the first two seasons. It's really good.

"Better Call Saul" is an all-time great TV show and possibly the greatest prequel ever written. Having just finished the final disc, I feel more strongly about it than ever. One's hesitation around this show's inescapable inconsistency with "Breaking Bad" is likely to subside when the characters of this drama stand on their own regardless of how clearly older they appear as their younger incarnations.It's also fair to say that the show isn't 100% a prequel since the entirety is given a framing device in the years after the events of "Breaking Bad" -and I don't recommend viewing BCS before BB.I paid for a subscription to every season on iTunes and most people have access to this show via a popular streaming service. I am here to tell you that if you love this show and feel content watching and rewatching the show on a lossy streaming format, you don't know what you're missing. "Better Call Saul" is a feast of dynamic imagery and rich sound and while this show may not be available on Ultra-HD disc, it looks and sounds much better than 4K streaming. I am more than content with the quality visible on my 4K HDR television.Every episode contains at least one commentary track and there are a multitude of featurettes and easter eggs. If you already collected these discs season by season (like I did with "Breaking Bad") i imagine there is nothing new to find here... Which brings me to the only factor that left this review short of five-stars: The unceremonious release of a complete series with comparatively forgettable artwork and no bonus supplements for people like me who waited to get the series in one big bundle. It's a shame Sony didn't regard this set with the same grand treatment "Breaking Bad" got some years back when more people were buying discs... but at least they released it.I love this show.

This was a great series that spun off of breaking bad, but found a voice of its own, and became an all-time classic. Love this show, and was waiting for this to go on sale, which is dead on the last prime day, and I jumped on it plenty of special features, and the video looks great. Must buy for any fan.

besides breaking bad and el camino blu rays this set better call saul are at the top of my favorite series absolutely must own.

For this review you could simply skip reading it and just look at the photos I've included. They speak for themselves. Nothing I could write will truly convey the horror that is the Better Call Saul complete series box set, so it's better to see it with your own eyes. But be warned: you may have clamshell nightmares so proceed at your own risk.First, I just have to state the obvious: this review is for the Better Call Saul box set, NOT the TV series itself. The TV series itself is definitely five stars, but this box set doesn't even deserve the one star I gave it. It is beyond grotesque and shocking, especially for the price you're paying. I would return it immediately and just buy the individual seasons were it not seemingly impossible to find a reasonably priced standalone copy of Season 2 on blu-ray.This is literally the most OVERPRICED box set that I have ever seen for a 6-season series that isn't in 4K, limited edition, rare or discontinued. I paid half the amount for the Breaking Bad set when it came out and the packaging is far superior. And I paid the same amount being charged here for Better Call Saul on the Game of Thrones box set in 4K with each season housed within its own separate case. With a popular mainstream series like Better Call Saul that won several awards, there is NO excuse to sell this clamshell set at the price being charged. Not even Saul Goodman would approve of this.What did Better Call Saul fans do to deserve this absolute joke of a box set? Seriously AMC, whatever we did if we say "sorry" will you please release this series in more dignified packaging worthy of a series like this? I really don't understand what happened here. I am one of those types of people who will patiently wait YEARS for a TV series I love to end JUST so I can buy the box set when it's over. That's what I did here with this series. I checked Amazon once a week when Season 6 was airing just so I could pre-order it the moment it was listed. I was so excited when it finally arrived, and then beyond disappointed when I saw it in person.The photos I've included compare the Better Call Saul box set to the Breaking Bad box set. Both are blu-ray, both are first releases, and both are AMC series. Just LOOK at the differences between the two. Breaking Bad comes in a sleek, sturdy, book-like outer package. Inside, the individual seasons have their own sleeve. Overall it looks nice and is well-organized. But most importantly, the discs are protected and not stacked upon one another.Then we've got the highly anticipated Better Call Saul box set. Just released and fresh off the grill. It feels like I made a reservation 6 years in advance to eat at a Michelin Star restaurant, then when my food arrives it's served on a paper plate and the only utensil is a plastic spork. The food is excellent, but the presentation is atrocious. This box set is a large plastic clamshell covered in a flimsy cardboard sleeve that isn't even interesting to look at. It's all black with a sprinkle of Bob Odenkirk's face and the Better Call Saul title. It looks like a placeholder design that was meant to be replaced with something better, but nope! This is the look they were actually going for. Absolutely zero effort on the outer packaging.Then there's the plastic clamshell containing all discs. If there's one thing I hate, it's clamshell packaging. It's cheap, it breaks easily, and I hate stacking discs over other discs. The irony here is that this is the cheapest, most cost-effective way to release an entire series, but then it is being charged at a luxury premium price point. This is what upsets me the most. I would be less critical if this box set was more reasonably priced, and/or if a better quality alternative was available. But since neither is the case, if you want an official box set this is literally your only option.If you can find all the seasons individually, I'd recommend getting those and NOT this awful set. It would probably be cheaper too, and certainly more durable. This box set just feels like a prank being played on consumers except nobody is laughing.
