Better Call Saul Deserves All the Emmys, Fans Say
Better Call Saulis very critical acclaimed, and over the course of its six seasons, it has picked up an impressive 46 nominations at the Primetime Emmy Awards. However, unlike the frequent winnerBreaking Bad, the prequel series has yet to pick up a win amid a very competitive television landscape. Perhaps that will change with the show’s final season giving it another chance at Emmy gold.
This year’s Emmy Awards is also historic for Rhea Seehorn, who finally snagged her first nomination for the series. Fans of the show would say that this is long overdue as Kim Wexler has been a fan favorite for many years with many Emmy-worthy scenes delivered by the actress in every season. Her co-star Patrick Fabian recently spoke upon how mind-boggling it was that her nomination had taken so long.
“You think she’s good on-screen? You should be in front of her and have a front-row seat, because that’s what I’ve had," Fabian toldVariety. “I would like to think that someday I’d be as good as Rhea Seehorn… I believe she has been grossly overlooked. In terms of just solid, consistent, amazing work, if you’re going to give an Emmy out for something like that, for God’s sake you at least have tonominate Rhea Seehorn. I just don’t see how you’re able to’t.”
Best of luck to theBetter Call Saulcast with their Emmy nominations.
