Better Call Saul is available on ~15 different services including Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, YouTube, and AppleTV+. It would never have occurred to me that I should watch it on a separate AMC service.
Now, there are some places you can watch it, but AMC isn’t one of them.
I also checked another flagship AMC show, The Walking Dead. Not as critically acclaimed, but huge ratings. You can watch only season 11 on the AMC+ service.
Netflix has the old seasons of The Walking Dead and Better Call Saul. I’d hope AMC is getting paid handsomely by Netflix for the rights, and that may be the right move financially. But selling the crown jewels seems incompatible with a successful AMC+. I recall reading that Netflix found that the first two seasons of a good show help subscriber numbers, then the benefit of additional seasons drops off (and costs increase) such that 3+ seasons only pencil out for the most popular shows. From that perspective, the AMC+ offering of limited runs of recent episodes from their most binge-worthy shows is a doomed strategy.
Uh, were we watching the same show? I thought it was an amazing finish to 11 seasons of Albuquerque and meth-based fun, and so did critics: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Better_Call_Saul_(season_6)#Re...

I mean, that was the final season, so I think most people are aware that the show won't be continuing...
It was widely publicized that the most recent season of Better Call Saul was the end of the series.
I also disagree it was anywhere near as bad as GoT ending, or bad at all.
