Last night's season finale ended with this takeaway, according to June Thomas: "No matter how much a man tries to rehabilitate himself, no matter the qualifications he gains or the hard work he puts in, he cannot escape his past. It's a little depressing, but it was a surprise, and surprise is the most difficult emotion for a prequel to generate." PLUS: Saul needs to step up the pace (http://variety.com/2015/tv/columns/better-call-saul-finale-caps-slow-trip-to-the-dark-side-spoilers-1201465631/) after a highly watchable first season, season finale had a Ferris Bueller easter egg (http://www.slate.com/blogs/browbeat/2015/04/07/better_call_saul_s_finale_has_a_ferris_bueller_easter_egg.html), and how the last scene explains the whole show (http://www.vox.com/2015/4/7/8362853/better-call-saul-finale-recap).
