What are fans saying? Many fans are reacting with anger and disappointment over the news that Better Call Saul was unable to win any Emmys.
In their opinion, the series as a whole, as well as the individual actors, deserved better. Many claim that the series was “robbed” of an award that other series were able to win.
Here we have gathered some comments for you:
- BBCS0 on Twitter: “The fact that Bob Odenkirk has never won an Emmy for Better Call Saul is absolutely criminal and one of the worst things that has ever happened to the Emmys. Besides, Bob Odenkirk has created one of the most complex, if not the most complex character ever, with his brilliant portrayal.”
- Mr_Rogui on Twitter: “This is the biggest bust in television history. Better Call Saul is simply the best television series of all time, and the fact that it has never won an Emmy shows how underrated this series is.”
- SanderSo47 on reddit: “The Emmys really said: ‘You never meant much to me.'”
- Plasmaposting on Twitter: “Has there ever been a show that was so much robbed of its wins?”
