If it's flat or slips in Season 4, I think they call it a wrap.

Maybe they'll do that split-season thing they're so fond of. That way they can take its temperature and if it's not getting the traction they need, they can wrap it up over the end of the year.

I'm sure that's a possibility.

But I can't understand why the show has slipped in the ratings. It may be due to cord cutting but AMC recently added their app to Roku and Season 2 to Netflix.

Hopefully, the ratings will increase next year, as Season 3 was phenomenal.

I think it's also possible that if the ratings do slip but the content is still amazing, another network or streaming service will step in and save the show.

Yeah, they can't leave a property like that flapping in the breeze, not after the good will built up from BB.

If they need to kill it, they'll figure out a way to give it a proper resolution.

I read a lot of complaints about how slow it it. People just have attention deficit disorder now.

Yup. Same thing is happening with TWD. Less gory Walker kills means boring to many. And it's a shame as TWD was never really about the Walkers.

Walkers were barely even a plot piece.

AMC notes that Better Call Saul finished Season 3 as the third-highest-rated drama on cable among adults 25-54. The season averaged 3.6 million viewers per episode, including 2 million adults 25-54 in Nielsen Live+3 ratings.
That sounds pretty good. Anyone know what it was averaging the first 2 seasons? Definitely my favorite show on TV.

Dumb ****s.


Good luck finding a show this good. Of course, the people that don't like it are probably Tardashian fans.

Well, in all fairness, the show is slow.

IMO, this program and BB are more enjoyable when binge watching. I'll often miss a Monday here and there in order to watch a couple of episodes simultaneously. That doesn't take away from the quality of the show but it's more "fun", for me, anyway.

Mad Men, which I absolutely loved, was the same way for me.

Really...

They stuck with BB and ended up with major payoff.

BCS should only be revving up to get better and more juicy

Their Roku app sucks.

1. Previous episodes available for less than a month.

2. The stream screws up constantly. Will freeze, then speed play and jump about 10 minutes ahead. Or, freeze and require the Roku to be restarted.

It's pretty obvious, imo, FX has been ahead of the rest of the cable lineups - & by a wide margin.

This is true. I purposely held off watching until after episode 7 to be able to watch it in blocks.
