On Monday, January 15, the 2024 Emmy Awards ceremony was held, which honors the best exponents of American television. At this event, series such as 'Succession', 'The Bear' and 'Beef' were the big winners of the night and received applause from everyone present at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. However, just as justice was done with these productions, there are others that were unlucky from the beginning, such as the case of 'Better Call Saul'the acclaimed spin-off of 'Breaking Bad'.
The series starring Bob Odenkirk, who plays unconventional lawyer Saul Goodman, has earned 53 Emmy nominations since its 2015 premiere; However, he failed to win on any occasion, which was considered by fans to be one of the biggest injustices in the industry.

I guess I'd be lying if I didn't say: who doesn't want to go up on stage and say, 'Thank you for acknowledging our last time here'? But I have a feeling we'll feel that way about our show no matter what.”, he pointed out to The Hollywood Reporter.
