List of episodes
"Wine and Roses" is the first episode of the sixth season of Better Call Saul, the spin-off television series of Breaking Bad. Michael Morris directed the episode written by Peter Gould. It aired back-to-back with "Carrot and Stick" on April 18, 2022, on AMC and AMC+. In several countries outside the United States and Canada, it premiered on Netflix the following day.
In the episode, Nacho Varga goes into hiding after aiding in the attempted assassination of Lalo Salamanca, unaware of its failure. Meanwhile, Jimmy McGill and Kim Wexler proceed with their scheme to ruin Howard Hamlin's life.
The episode's cold open features a glimpse into the life of Jimmy during the events of Breaking Bad when he was better known as Saul Goodman. The sequence was inspired by the classic films Citizen Kane and Sunset Boulevard. It includes an instrumental version of the song "Days of Wine and Roses". The closing shot of the opening shows a callback to an episode from the second season of Better Call Saul. Gould said it was a nod to the ending of Citizen Kane and that he wanted the moment to symbolize Saul's true character.
"Wine and Roses" was met with critical acclaim for the direction, screenplay, and on-screen performances. An estimated 1.42 million viewers saw the episode during its first broadcast on AMC.
