The Tough Competition

This year's Emmy Awards proved to be a particularly tough one for Better Call Saul, as it faced stiff competition from acclaimed series such as Succession. The Outstanding Actor in a Drama series category, in which Odenkirk was nominated, was especially challenging, with multiple Succession actors vying for the award.

Succession has been a formidable contender for Odenkirk's win for several years, but it's not the only show that has posed a challenge. Better Call Saul has faced tough competition from other rapidly acclaimed series, including Mr. Robot and Squid Game. Despite its exceptional quality, the series has been unlucky in its timing, often overlapping with other sensational shows that captured the attention of the Emmy voters.
